Abu Dhabi / Dubai

Eman is highly knowledgeable. I wanted a guide who understood the local culture, history and tradition well. The best part of the journey was the conversation we had. She is passionate about the growth of UAE and allowed me to appreciate the culture much better. She had very good recommendations. Would strongly recommend her for a very authentic and rich experience.

Memorable! Phenomenal! Loved Every Moment!

We spent an entire day in Abu Dhabi with Eman. She was gracious, knowledgeable, flexible, warm and a proud representative of her city and country. Just what you would hope for. We not only saw the places we wanted but we had some surprises along the way which would not have ever been possible if it were not for the kindness and spontaneity of Eman. If you ever have a need of a personal guide in Abu Dhabi or Dubai, seek out Eman.

The traditional atmosphere, serving authentic Emirati food, and a huge variety of food, make you live a great experience. And sometimes they play traditional music during your meal, and the service is amazing. Absolutely fantastic experience!
