Born and raised in Oregon, I started tour guiding in Washington, DC and have always had a deep appreciation for local history. My tours bring a depth of knowledge through a combination of research, exploration, and interviews. I graduated from Georgetown University and hold a master's degree from the University of East Anglia. A former diplomat, I enjoys showcasing Dubai's intricate history and finding hidden historical gems. I conduct tours in Abu Dhabi and Dubai in both English and Spanish. In the recent years, I have given private tours to NFL and NBA teams, students of Jewish history, and corporate leadership teams (Louis Vuitton, Vacheron Constantine). As a business owner and father of three young children who go to local schools, I can answer all of your questions about living, investing, and staying the UAE. My team and I are able to provide pick-up and drop-off services with a driver and large luxury SUVs. Let me curate your schedule from touchdown to wheels-up. Consider me your on-call travel consultant. My two drivers work exclusively with me and are attentive to the unique needs of travelers. I am looking forward to hosting your group and showcasing the highlights of this region. From the rocky mountains, to the desert sands. . . adventure awaits.

Overview of your Dubai tour

Welcome to the Emirate of Fujairah, a hidden gem nestled between the majestic Hajar Mountains and the serene waters of the Arabian Sea in the United Arab Emirates. Embark on a day-long adventure filled with cultural discoveries, natural wonders, and unforgettable experiences. Begin your day with a visit to the historic Fujairah Fort, an imposing structure dating back to the 16th century. Afterward, head to the Al Badiyah Mosque, the oldest known mosque in the United Arab Emirates. Marvel at its simple yet elegant architecture and learn about its significance in the local community. Enjoy a traditional Emirati lunch at one of the authentic restaurants in Fujairah. After lunch, escape the heat and dive into the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Oman at one of Fujairah's pristine beaches and island snorkeling. I can customize this tour according to your preferences.
