Shah did an incredible job introducing us to the highlights of Dubai. He was very accommodating and wanted to ensure our time was well spent. We were able to understand the history of each area as we travelled and learn the history of the development of Dubai. We do not hesitate to highly recommend Shah Zahir.

If you are looking for a guide in Dubai, you can stop right now and just book with Shah! Our Tour was everything that we could have hoped for and more! Shah knows all of the hidden spots that get you the good photos that are unavailable to the big tours and his knowledge of the city, and its history is awesome! Shah was right on time for pick-up and showed us some great sights, our favorite was the souks at night with the water taxi's! Shah has our highest recommendation!
Thomas K.United States
Great day with Shah! His love for Dubai and knowledge of its history and inner workings made for a very enjoyable and educational day for all of us. We saw many of the sights - old and new - and especially enjoyed our time in the souks. And having his van to drive around (vs public transit) made for a much more efficient way to see the city, as well. Shukran, Shah!
