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.

Don’t leave Dubai until you’ve had a tour with Pri! She knows everything about Dubai and everyone in Dubai knows her so you get priority access to places like the Samba Bar at the top of the St. Regis Hotel. Turns out you can’t simply show up at the hotel and take the elevator to the top floor for a drink and the second best view in Dubai. Show up without Pri and you might get in but only after waiting in a long line. Pri arranged priority tickets for the Burj Khalifa (avoiding the long lines) which has the best view in Dubai. More importantly she is a delightful person with an encyclopedic knowledge of Dubai. We spent a full day with her and never felt overwhelmed with facts but left with a much deeper understanding of this fascinating place. She is sensitive to your energy level and level of jet lag and adjusts the tour accordingly. On a scale of 1 to 5 she is a 6!

Pri is such an extraordinary guide! This is our second time in Dubai and our second time using Pri and she has been wonderfully informative, warm and fun both times. She knows everything about Dubai and is an absolute wealth of information. Additionally, she plans these terrific meals in fantastic restaurants, if requested. We couldn’t recommend her more highly than we do! And interesting side note, if you have any questions about where to see Oman, just ask her! :) Pri, thank you again for another wonderful adventure!

Pri is very knowledgeable about Dubai and the UAE. She has a real passion for her work and is a truly nice person. We really enjoyed our day with her and learned quite a lot about the city and the country. We would happily work with her again!

Our guides were PRIZ in Dubai and also her husband Richard They were excellent in every way prompt, informative, and extremely helpful! We would use them again and will recommend them to our friends. They made our trip an exceptional experience. Cathy and Ferdinand Hampson

Pri was an amazing tour guide... We were a group of 6, and have enjoyed many other trips always with a personal guide for some part of our stay. For us, Pri checked every box... she is engaging, smart, insightful, fun, full of great stories of Dubai, and made sure the day worked for us. We couldn't have had a better experience. Our tour with Pri had a driver included so that she was able to focus on our group and each of the walk, or ride transitions were seamless. Thank you Pri!
