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

Yes, you heard that right. This tour takes place inside Dubai Mall! Dubai Mall is not only one of the largest malls in the world, it’s also an unexpected place to learn in comfort. While our best-selling cultural walking tour through the historic alleys of old Dubai is perfect for the cooler winter months, we wanted to create an equally enriching experience for the hot summer days. After much research and curation, this unique tour was born. Step inside the air-conditioned luxury of Dubai Mall and discover a journey that blends culture, history, and traditional trades. Along the way, uncover hidden gems, meet jewelers, perfume makers, and fabric traders, and learn the stories that connect Dubai’s past to its present. It’s a cultural experience unlike any other — all in the comfort of one of the world’s most iconic destinations
