Dubai never sleeps, as Waseem proved on my wee hours of the morning layover tour. From a souk shop open late (bad for my budget, good for my senses) to where Dubai originated, and on to modern day Dubai with all its opulence, this was a fun, educational and impressive tour.

Took the night layover tour with Waseem. He was very accommodating to our schedule and hit the major highlights of Dubai for us in a short amount of time. Very knowledgeable of Dubai/UAE history. Highly recommend.

Was nervous about having a long layover in the middle of the night but this tour made it easy to make the best of it! Waseem picked us up, had cold waters for us and drove us to see all the sights. He explained the history of UAE and dubai along the way, and was very kind and charismatic. He got us some saffron tea, and helped us get a late night bite . Couldnt have asked for a better way to see dubai or to spend a long layover. If you're thinking about booking a tour, DO IT ! and request WASEEMLaharesh_P

We had only 6hrs layover and wanted to make most of it. Waseem helped us make the most of it. He was very informative and friendly. We will surely visit Dubai again to experience the beauty.
