"I did a two day tour with Ikram and saw both the new and old areas of Dubai. He was a good tour guide, easy going, knowledgeable and easy to understand. I would highly recommend him"
"We had a great tour with a friend of Ikram (German speaking). The tour was really good and we learned a lot about old Dubai. I would totally recommend a booking with Ikram. "
"Ikram was super helpful and accommodating with our 3hr customised tour of Dubai. So many wonderful stories and interesting facts about this amazing city. My two young kids absolutely loved it with the perfect amount of stops for some local food and picture taking opportunities also.
Thank you so much. We look forward to enjoying more tours with you over the coming week."
"Sandy was a terrific guide on our 3 hr walking tour of Dubai. It was our first visit and we learned so much from him along the way about the history of the city and the UAE. He was informative and also great company on our walk. "
"Ikram is a local expert who helped explain the geography, building, culture and spirit of Dubai extremely well and better than expected. Great communication the day before our tour, then easy customization of our day and where we wanted to go. We enjoyed our visit to Dubai with a local tour early in our week visit - no doubt will help us check out other areas in Dubai."
"Ikram was a life saver . Due to a confusion, we had one day without a guide and were desperate to get one . Withkocals and Ikram stepped up and we had a fantastic time . Kind , atttentive , informed , he made the day of sightseeing, a pleasure "
"We had an absolutely incredible time on our city tour with Suqlain! If you are looking for more than just the typical tourist stops, this is the tour for you.
Suqlain was a fantastic guide—not only was he professional and friendly, but he was also deeply informative. He shared fascinating stories and historical insights that really brought the city’s heritage to life."

Superb tour!
"Ikram was extremely personable, upbeat and full of helpful knowledge as we walked an afternoon tour with him. 5 stars for sure!"
"Today we had a great tour with our tour guide Ikram.
We already have been in Dubai once, but wanted to experience more and dig a bit deeper into the city. So our tour guide adapted the tour to our needs. He picked us up at our cruise ship and showed us old Dubai with its souks, traditional houses and the Creek and explained us a lot of the history and the “birth” of Dubai and the VAE 🇦🇪.
After that, we went to new Dubai (after a short stop at the kings palace) and all the “crazy” highlights the city has to offer.
We also tasted a small snack called shuwarma. It tasted wonderful. 🤤
And not to forget our comfy transportation and its good driver.
All in all, our host made this tour really memorable and if you ever come to Dubai, we recommend you to book this tour with Ikram 🤩
PS: he is also a very good photographer ☺️"
