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.

Overview of your Dubai tour

If I am asked to describe this city in one sentence it would be " Change is the only constant"! Having lived here for 13 years, I still need my google maps when navigating! Mind you, I have a very good sense of direction! I only have the new roads to blame! Successfully transforming barren sand dunes to a a forest of architectural marvel, Dubai is a city unlike any other. It is a city that is exciting and vibrant in every aspect. Architects in specific found it a playground with no rules, no restrictions. A playground where they can have fun with physics and engineering. They built for us the tallest building, the most beautiful building, the most luxurious sq. km and the list goes on! Are you surprised I call it the city of superlatives? Let me take you around and show you the most interesting buildings and neighborhoods! Let me show you how this city transformed into a top notch metropolis in no time! By the end of this tour, I guarantee you will have fallen in love with my Dubai

Dana was a fabulous guide for us! She was extremely well-organized, and tailored the tour to our schedule and interests. We felt right at home with Dana, like a member of the family. She was an excellent communicator and knowledgeable about the many sites we visited. Dana and her driver guided us through much of Dubai in a relatively short period of time, but we never felt rushed or totally worn out. She was sensitive to our interest levels and built in some breaks throughout the tour. We highly recommend Dana - she is outstanding!

Dana was wonderful, knowledgeable and fun. We toured as much of Dubai as one can in five hours, but did so with wonderful insight and flair. If you happen to be lucky enough to make it to Dubai, Dana is a perfect host

This was a great way to get an overview of the city. Thanks so much for being flexible and tailoring everything to our tastes. The in the moment perfume shares was a really nice touch.

Dana gave an extraordinary tour of Dubai, contrasting the historic cultural old city with the modern new city. Her knowledge of regional history and modern development gave purpose to the city and help me appreciate Dubai’s role in the UAE. Dana created a comfortable, safe environment for my first visit to the Middle East. It was easy to ask questions and discuss all topics from history and growth to religion and politics. She is knowledgeable on the broad range and provided valuable context Thank you for an enjoyable day of touring, experiencing and learning

Spent two days with Dana as our guide in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Have used many guides in the past and can say unequivocally that Dana is top tier. She was flexible in combining two of her half day tours into a one full day of Dubai. The day was unrushed but we saw virtually the entire city in our day. Her language skills (fluent in English and Arabic), her easy and outgoing manner and familiarity with the city made the day outstanding. Gave us a real feel for the history and culture of the city. She was also extremely useful in making recommendations when we returned later to visit some sites and museums in more detail. Would not hesitate to recommend.
