Amazing experience

This was a great experience for the short amount of time I had in Dubai, I highly recomend it. Waseem is an excellent guide, as a local, he is very knowlegable and will give you a pretty good picture of Dibai's previous and current history. He will also take you to the perfect spots understand the city and to take great pictures. I really appreciate his flexibility and patience, he made everything work perfectly despite my trip complications, you can tell he has a lot of experience from the begining and he is prepared for anything, he even gave me a spare phone to call him just in case I lost signal while I was visiting the spices market. If you are planing a trip to Dubai, this is the person to go with!
