Best day of our Dubai trip!

Booking with Nada was super easy and she communicated clearly about meeting time/point. Nada is so knowledgeable about Dubai and its culture that this ended up being the highlight of our Dubai trip. She took the time to answer all of our sometimes silly questions about Dubai and her deep insight helped us to understand this fabulous city even better. Her tour went to some places that we probably wouldn't have picked on our own, but they ended up being very interesting sites and Nada's inside knowledge helped us get more out of these sites than if we went alone. She treated us like friends and even helped us navigate the metro and find other things to do when the tour was done. I would hands down recommend Nada to anyone considering a tour of Dubai that adds some local insight and levity to many of the old town highlights.

Wander with Nada was the highlight of my time in Dubai.

My husband was in Dubai for a business trip and I decided to join him. I didn't want to just hang out alone at the hotel or mall all day while he worked. I wanted to see more of Dubai. I was reluctant to go too far on my own, so I booked a day tour with Nada. I was nervous as I made my way alone to our meeting point, but as soon as Nada walked up I relaxed and trusted her to make sure I had a great day. We spent the day exploring a side of Dubai that I probably wouldn't have seen otherwise. We visited the two museums, the souks/markets, took a boat ride and shared a great meal. Nada is very knowledgeable, professional, and passionate. She is happy to answer any question. As an amateur travel photographer, I also loved that she pointed out all of the great photo spots. I learned so much about Dubai, the UAE and the Emirati culture. I also learned a lot about the many immigrants that live in Dubai. By the end of the day, I felt that I had made a new friend. I joined my husband later for dinner buzzing with new information about fascinating Dubai beyond the skyscrapers and luxury hotels.

Fantastic tour of Old Dubai and Deira Spice Souk

We are longtime (27 years!) residents of Dubai, but decided to take the tour to see if we could discover anything new. Nada was fantastic, from her very clear pre-tour communication onwards. Although the areas were well known to us, Nada brought to it another level of detail, with snippits of information that gave the familiar a whole new dimension! She has so much to share regarding the areas we visited, that we came away seeing things from a fresh perspective. I would definitely recommend her for her knowledge, friendliness and also for the follow-up regarding where one can source certain products, etc. Most newcomers to Dubai only see the new, shiny side of it - would strongly suggest they take a tour of old Dubai with Nada.

Great tour guide!

I'm a single dad traveling with my 2 young kids for Spring Break. Nada was very helpful in helping us plan for this trip. Her tour of old Dubai was excellent. We were able to see the typical tourist spots as well as some places that we would not have experienced on our own. Nada was great at keeping my youngest engaged throughout the entire tour. We highly recommend her. Thank you Nada for making this a tour my kids won't forget for a long time.

Absolutely amazing tour of old dubai!

By far one of the best tours I’ve been on, the 4 hours flew by. I have lived in dubai for years (and have been to old dubai plenty of times), however chose to go on this tour as I had friends visiting. Even after having lived here for a while, I cannot emphasize how much I learned on this tour, from Nada. Nada was absolutely great, has such extensive knowledge of the area and from her own experience living in dubai. The lunch spot she took us to had authentic food and a great atmosphere. The “experiments” in the spice Souk were so interesting. And she was kind enough to capture photos of us and share them post the tour. We even left with a little momento from Nada. She seems to keep the groups small which makes it a lot more intimate and easy to ask questions. I would highly recommend Wander With Nada tours, totally worth it!

Walking Tour of Old Dubai

I cannot recommend Nada enough! My family and I did the walking tour of Old Dubai and loved it. Nada knew so much about the history of Dubai and it seemed like there wasn't a question we asked that she didn't know the answer to. It was the perfect mix of history, sight seeing, shopping in the souk and eating (an ideal day for me!). We could have walked around with Nada all day and we were surprised how quickly the four hours went by! Be sure to book a tour with her when you're in Dubai. You won't be disappointed!
** Pro tip: if you're planning on buying anything from the souk, have her help you negotiate the pice. She's a wiz!
