He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many interesting insights about the history, culture, and daily life of old Dubai. He explained everything clearly and made the experience engaging and enjoyable, answering all our questions with ease. The tour felt authentic and well-paced, and we left with a much deeper appreciation of the area. I highly recommend Houssam to anyone who wants to truly understand Dubai beyond the modern skyline”
