I am a true believer in the Rule of Three - I live between Dubai, Mumbai and Washington DC, speak three languages and have 3 kids. I graduated from Connecticut College and have a Masters Degree from New York University. I am a licensed Dubai and Abu Dhabi tour guide, travel blogger, art aficionado, foodie and curious to check out all things new in my city. I was awarded the best guide of Dubai by Dubai Culture Authority in 2022. I offer a luxury VIP touch to all my experiences for guests who value comfort and advanced planning. In the recent years, I have given private tours to Sheryl Sandberg, NBA Teams, Harvard students, NYU professors and team members from Pfizer and Hilti. I am looking forward to meeting you in Dubai/Abu Dhabi and showing you why I love this country so much! I am able to provide walking tours, city tours, and tours of all major attractions such as Burj Khalifa, The View on the Palm, Inside Burj Al Arab, Dubai By Private Yacht and Desert Safari tours. In Abu Dhabi I love bringing guests to the Grand Mosque, to the Abrahamic Family House (featuring a working Synagogue, Church and Mosque), and to the Louvre Abu Dhabi. At the Louvre Abu Dhabi, one of my favorite artworks is Chagall's Between Darkness and Night, as the artist captured his traditional Jewish upbringing in bright colors and dreamlike settings. I enjoy curating unique itineraries and serving my guests as an on-call concierge. I own two SUV cars (Lincoln Navigator and Nissan Armada) and have two drivers that work for me. This helps me offer a wide range of availability.

An Insider's View of How Dubai Came to Be
Overview of your Dubai tour
With a resident local insider, navigate Old Dubai by-lanes on a unique, curated, off-beat track. Our experience is a creative way to journey through a new city with a collection of narratives from immigrants, artists and architects. We share with you stories untold, history unwritten and folklore undiscovered. Come walk through Dubai hidden gems and alleyways, art galleries and cafes, interact with locals and let Dubai appeal to all of your senses. Walk away with an appreciation of how a fishing village transformed itself into a global brand in one generation and have myths about the Middle East debunked. Starting out in historic Al Fahidi neighborhood we will weave in and out of traditional homes, cross the Dubai Creek on a wooden Abra boat, explore Burj Plaza, Burj Khalifa (outside) and Dubai Mall, as well as understand how a city with merely 15% local Emirati population thrives with immigrants from over 120 countries.
