Admire the incredible scenery and stop to take pictures of the luxury Atlantis hotel and Dubai Marina. Then, continue on to the Souk Madinat Jumeirah, a well-known marketplace in Dubai which promotes middle eastern culture. From the souk, see the world-famous luxury hotel, the Burj Al Arab where you capture more incredible photographs.

Great afternoon with a personal guide and desired pick-up date. We already knew Hakim from Abu Dhabi and were very pleased that he was also the guide in Dubai. We drove to all the excursion destinations, as described, with short stops for photos, the taxi boat ride was very nice followed by a visit to the markets, where Hakim was also able to tell us a lot about the variety of spices and the gold market. In the end we took away a lot of information about Dubai and the history of AE ....

Our guide was fantastic! He spoke a very good English and offered to take photos of us with our camera many times. We were a small group of five people so we pretty well decided how long we stayed at each place. No one being a big shopper, it worked well. The Blue Mosque was great. We enjoyed it better than the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi where there are so many people.
