Marhaba! That's hello in Arabic! I look forward to meeting you in Dubai, showing you around our beautiful city and unveiling our culture! I was born in Kuwait to a Palestinian family! I lived there for a few years before we moved to Cyprus and later Jordan. My family run their travel business and I have been involved in the industry since a young age. It's what I always wanted to do; When I am not travelling myself, I want to spend time with travelers! I moved to Dubai back in 2009 and got my tour guiding license shortly after. A few months later, I was officially guiding people in the city! I find that through my work, I am an ambassador to the Arabic culture that is often misinterpreted. I love sharing my part of the story, a middle eastern woman who knows the ins and outs of our culture, who is proud of a lot aspects, yet who sees herself as a global citizen! Licensed Dubai Tour Guide Licensed Abu Dhabi Tour Guide Dubai Way Training I am not a driver. I can hire a licensed driver and car and will be happy to show you around.

This tour was amazing from start to finish! It was a nice change of pace from many of the other tourist activities in Dubai. Dana is a fantastic guide! Great communication throughout the booking and preparation process. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing her knowledge. The guides on the Reserve are also excellent.

This was a wonderful experience. Getting up close with the animals while staying comfortable was a win. We really appreciated being able to explore the environment from an air conditioned vehicle. And the breakfast was a delicious ending. So much options to suit anyone tastes. Thank you for having us.
