Hi, I'm Nada.
Welcome to the UAE.
30 years of stories. 3 emirates. One mission: to help you discover the soul behind the skyline.
I didn't become a guide to show tourists the tallest building or the biggest mall. I became a guide because this city raised me, and I want you to feel what I feel when I walk these streets; the pride, the wonder, the stories hiding in every corner.

"Make yourself at home"
This Arabic proverb is at the heart of everything I do. From the moment you book until the moment you head home, I'll ensure you have plenty of guidance and tips on everything UAE-related.
Whether you're overwhelmed with hotel options, losing sleep over where to eat, or dazed by desert safari brochures, I've got you.
Why the UAE?
Every time I travel, I’m on a mission to see cities like a local. Not necessarily skipping the Louvre but I do want to know where Parisians picnic on Saturdays and where they get their macaron fix (P.S. it’s Pierre Hermé, thank me later).
Having studied abroad, I’ve played host to countless friends and classmates visiting the UAE. Our conversations usually kick off with wide-eyed wonder about the Burj Khalifa and "that sail-shaped 7-star hotel." And honestly? After 30+ years here, I still catch myself gawking at them too. Some things just don’t get old.
Beyond the Glitz
But beyond the glitz and city lights, there’s a quieter magic. One you’ll find at an incense-scented souk in Old Dubai, in Sharjah’s winding heritage lanes, or while gazing up at the intricate domes of Abu Dhabi’s Grand Mosque, bathed in golden light. If we slow down just a little, we uncover moments that feel like they were made just for us.
I know many visitors only have a few days to soak in the UAE and I believe in making every minute count in the right places.
“But… do I really need a guide?”
Let’s be real: the phrase “guided tour” doesn’t always spark joy. Most people picture a group of jet-lagged travelers chasing a flag.
But Wander with Nada? It's not that kind of tour.
No flags, no scripts, and definitely no rushing. Just small group tours with big heart. Immersive, conversational, and led with curiosity. Because travel should feel like discovering the world with a new friend, one who knows where the good stories are hiding.
