We highly recommend this tour with Hesham, it is a definite must for every Dubai visitor!
Hesham’s walking tour, Dubai Heritage Explorer: Revealing the Past, exceeded all expectations and is a must for anyone visiting Dubai. Hesham’s storytelling and genuine passion for the city’s history brought every stop to life, creating an immersive experience I couldn’t have achieved on my own. We began at Al Seef, where Hesham’s insights made the blend of old and new Dubai truly fascinating. Walking along Dubai Creek, he painted a vivid picture of its role in shaping the city’s growth. In the Al Fahidi Historic District and Bastakia neighborhood, we wandered through narrow alleys lined with wind towers, stepping back in time to discover the traditions of the Emirates. Crossing the creek on an abra water taxi was a highlight, offering a serene yet authentic perspective of the city. Hesham’s expertise shone in the bustling Old Souk and Spice Souk, where his tips on bargaining and knowledge of local spices made shopping a cultural adventure. Sampling Arabic coffee and street food added a delicious dimension to the journey. This tour isn’t just a history lesson—it’s a captivating exploration of Dubai’s soul. If you want a truly unforgettable experience, don’t miss this tour with Hesham!
Hesham was extremely gracious & kind. Tho I waited at the wrong meeting point, he spoke with the group who patiently waited for us. 🫣 His tour was extremely fun & informative. His way of story telling drew us in & made us interested in the facts and understand the culture. Conducted with humor and a keen sense of "reading the room", my group, at least, was grateful tat we took his tour esp since we arrived at 4am and had yet to check into our hotel!
Hesham has a unique way of introducing the history and lifestyle of Dubai, it was an interesting way to reinforce the impression of the visit of the city. We particular enjoyed the boat ride and the tasting of coffee and tea
Hesham is a great guide who showed us everything needed to see. The walking tour with him was educational and satisfying at the same time. We were given water and traditional food along the way. Past the creek with an abra boat. I really recommend taking this tour in Dubai old city when you are here.
