It was literally an Amazing experience. Ms. Noora was absolutely spot on with all the informations and the way she explained us with regards to Emirati Culture and Traditions it was really an ice breaker. Also, my special mention to Rasal and Sagar for serving us with Arabic Coffee, helping us serve the Buffet and also help us wear the traditional attire and they made sure that the fit was good in order to make us look handsome. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

The trip was informative and gave us a lot of insight about Emirati culture and heritage. The guide, Mr. Hamad, is an exceptional presenter and was very knowledgeable about the culture and history of the Emirates. He also entertained us with bits of humor. Will recommend this to others. Thank you Heritage Express for this great experience.
