We have had the benefit of visiting many places with private local guides, and Sachin is one of the best. He did an excellent job of explaining the history of UAE’s development, its multi-ethnicism, and the differences of rights and benefits between its citizens and its immigrants. The story of emirs coming together to unify and provide explosive growth and prosperity while preserving certain cultural identifies is fascinating, and may be a an important lesson for countries in the West. Sachin’s carefully structured itinerary took us, in one day, through the history of about a hundred years of building an enlightened economic powerhouse that is Dubai today. We can’t wait to return for another tour with Sachin, with a visit to Abu Dhabi.
