    Walking Tour in Old Dubai - Excellent!
    Muhammad was fantastic! He knows Old Dubai well, and is passionate about his faith. Whether he’s explaining about the Bedouin lifestyle, explaining Muslim prayers, or helping you get a fair deal at the souk, Muhammad showed us a more authentic and charming part of Dubai. Would highly recommend this experience if you are looking for something other than malls and skyscrapers.”

    Unforgettable and amazing experience with Muhammad
    I had such a great time with Muhammad during this tour. Exploring old Dubai was always on my list and i am so happy that i ticked it off with an excellent personalised experience. Muhammad was super friendly and shared so many interesting stories about old town. I was stunned to learn all the different fun facts about this city. Old Neighbourhood was not busy at all in evening which gave me opportunity to click alot of pics. And doing this tour in evening was the best idea . ABRA ride was super fun and specially visits to souk was out of Dubai thing. Muhammad offered me a traditional tea as well which was full of spices and saffron. And then Gold Market blew my mind .the Gold pieces there are really out of this world. I even tried something that i never even heard in my life , dates made of camel milk chocolate . Overall it was absolutely worth of visit and having Muhammad with me made it even better. Thanks again Muhammad for a great tour and i will recommend this to everyone.

Muhammad wasn't just a guide he was a storyteller, bringing the sights and sounds of Dubai to life. He answered every question thoughtfully and even went above and beyond, recommending hidden gems and local favorites.
I left Dubai with memories that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to explore this magnificent city!

My friend and I had such a great experience exploring old town Dubai and Zouk with our guide Muhammad. Getting to the location we was given was super easy. I did get lost finding the parking lot but Muhammad was only one text away and I found it right after. He first brought us to old Dubai and we seen two cute camels took pictures and started exploring. After we took one of the shuttle boat (included) on the creek to cross to get to Zouk and seen so many souvenirs, spice, and gold shops. Make sure to bring Dirham to shop! And Never pay the first price y’all! All and all our trip with Muhammad was awesome and we didn’t feel rush one bit! He was super informative and laid back felt like we was already friends just exploring the town. So don’t think twice, book now! Make sure to bring a fully charged phone or camera to take pictures!

The tour through the old town of Dubai was really interesting and informative. Our tour guide Muhammad was really friendly, reliable and could answer all the questions we had. He even offered kindly to take pictures of us and seemed to have a lot of fun with it, which I have never experienced with a tour guide before. I would definitely recommend it since we learned a lot about the culture, the customs and the life in Dubai!

Could not have been better! I had a great time and HIGHLY recommend the tour with M. He really goes out of his way to make it a great experience. This is a few hours for those new to Dubai or those looking for an expert to happily answer their questions. Small touches like the boat ride, camel chocolate and advice for making the most of Dubai really made the tour. Would happily join it again!

Muhammad took time to explain traditional outfit of Emirati men and women. Guided us through the old town then crossed the Dubai creek by way of Abra. We sampled fragrant tea at spice souk and Muhammad gave us pointers in bargaining at the gold souk. Muhammad’s guided tour kept even our teenage son interested. Dubai’s Burj Khalifa and other sites are a must do : this guided Old Town tour should be on everyone’s to do list to fully appreciate Dubai. Highly recommend Muhammad and his guided tour.

There is nothing to be worried about when you are with Mohammed. He is simply amazing, kind hearted and very knowledgable. His patience is beyond what words can express. We felt so comfortable with him as if we have known each other for years. We were glad he was the first tour guide for the entire trip. This guys knows Old Dubai and understand the tradition behind it. We are very grateful.
