This tour was the only bad experience I had while in the UAE. Everything was ok until the guide took me to the market where they try charge me over $200 for curry and a pack of dates. I told them I won’t pay that much and guide told me “when I bring other tourist here they pay that price willingly”. He then pretty much got on phone calls for the rest of the tour and I couldn’t wait to get home. Before the tour was over the guide ask you to give them 5 stars and stare you down until you do. I was a solo female traveler so i didn’t want to cause too much conflict. Ended up doing the mosque tour with another guide on another day because I didn’t want this experience ruined for me.
