What people are saying about Dubai Creek

It’s a very good tour to get a taste of Dubai. Ameera was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable, great photographer and always smiling. We didn’t have to queue anywhere including Burj Khalifa and that wad a bonus. The only downside is that on the tour prescription is mentioned that we will visit Jumeirah Mosque but we didn’t.

Riah was an excellent guild, we learned soo much about the history of Dubai. She took her time, answered all our questions and very patient when we stopped to take pictures. We recommend this tour as it gives you a lot of info and seeing many parts of the city!

It was AMAZING ... what a great Tour Guide and driver we had, and the organization was incredible ... I would recommend it to any single/couple/family traveller. They were amazing on time, their language skills are great and it was such a nice taste of DUBAI

Something different to try if not tried before, the view is not as clear as I would of expected it to be. There seems to be a cloudy view from up there. Never the less we enjoyed it and the service was spot on.

Shakil is extremely knowledgeable about UAE politics and social issues. Our conversations were insightful, and the tour was beautiful. We were able to visit the Golden Market too!
