Highlight of Dubai

This tour was the highlight of my stay in Dubai. It never once felt as if this is a "cookie cutter" type tour. The group was nice and small (10) with Mohammed, our tour guide, well versed in the history and customs of Dubai. He gave us great tips for shopping at the Souks. The Souks didnt feel too "touristy." Great for shopping perfume oil, scarves, spices, jewelry. The street food was very tasty! I would highly recommend this tour!

I would definitely recommend this tour and Seef to anyone visiting Dubai!
