Hayyakum and welcome to Abu Dhabi! My name is Aleksandra, and I am a professional licensed tour guide with over a decade of hands-on experience in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Originally from Estonia, I have been living in the UAE since 1998. Over the years, this country has become not just my home, but my passion. I have personally witnessed the UAE’s remarkable transformation and truly enjoy sharing this story with my guests. From Bedouin heritage to a modern global destination! I am a licensed tour guide in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi, as well as a licensed guide at Louvre Abu Dhabi, authorized to provide official guided tours inside the museum. Since 2012, I have been working full-time as a freelance tour guide with leading tourism companies, guiding private guests, families, VIPs, and corporate groups. I have conducted hundreds of tours and consistently receive excellent reviews for my professionalism, strong knowledge, and warm, engaging approach. Many of my guests come through personal recommendations. Guiding is not just my profession, it is my passion and my lifestyle. I genuinely love meeting people from all over the world and sharing the culture, traditions, and daily life of the UAE in a clear, fun, and authentic way. My tours are well-organized, flexible, and tailored to your interests and pace, with a strong focus on quality and personal experience. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and passionate local guide, I would be delighted to welcome you as my guest. See you soon in Abu Dhabi! 😊

Alex took us on an amazing tour of Abu Dhabi! Her knowledge of the city, culture, and history was next level. She made our time in the city very memorable, and took the most beautiful pictures of us that will last a lifetime. We can't recommend her enough!

Alex was a wonderful guide! We took her four hour tour and she helped us personalize it in a way that exactly suited our tastes and desires. She was extremely well prepared and knowledgeable about the sites we visited, and could answer all our questions effortlessly. Her English is excellent, she is easy to talk to, and her enthusiasm for her country and its magnificent achievements is catching! I particularly appreciated her ability to take us through a site where you could spend hours and hit the highlights, since we only had a little time to spend in Abu Dhabi. In addition to all these fine qualities, Alex is an outstanding photographer! Just hand over your iPhone to her when you start your tour; you won’t be disappointed!

We had a wonderful tour of Abu Dhabi with Alex. She was so knowledgeable and passionate about Abu Dhabi and UAE, as a whole, and she readily shared that passion with us. We tailored the tour to the spots we wanted to see and she was very flexible with the itinerary, which allowed us to change some of the spots we wanted to see on the fly. Her knowledge about the mosque, hotels, markets, and cultural areas enhanced our experience tremendously. Thank you Alex for an amazing evening in Abu Dhabi!

Our group of four had a fabulous time with Aleksandra! She greeted us at our hotel and designed a tour that was wonderful. In addition to showing us the sites, her knowledge and personable nature made her a great guide. We learned a great deal about the UAE and Abu Dhabi in particular. Most of all we laughed and had a great time. I couldn't recommend her more highly!
