We enjoyed warm Emirati hospitality through a guided tour with Heritage Express. The tour included sightseeing across the city, with visits to Jumeirah Mosque, Museum, and a traditional majlis. We also explored Old Dubai, saw traditional Emirati houses, and abra ride across the creek. Even after living here for many years, we learned so many interesting details we had never known before. After absorbing all the history and culture, we marked the had beautifully prepared sumptous dinner. It was an evening filled with learning, connection and beautiful memories together. Thank Heritage express team for your amazing Hospitality and an absolutely well planned tour for our senior citizens. @ Fahd @ Saud great job !

A truly wonderful experience with Heritage Express. The tour was beautifully curated, engaging, and full of meaningful stories that brought the UAE and Dubai heritage to life. A special shoutout to our fantastic guide Ahmed, a knowledgeable, warm, and an excellent storyteller who made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and enriching cultural journey told by a wise, committed Emirati. This was not “just a tour.” It was a journey.

The Heritage Express tour was a truly memorable experience, offering an in-depth look at Dubai's rich cultural heritage. It provided valuable insights into traditional clothing, religion, and the city's historic architecture. As a Christian, it was a meaningful experience to visit and enter a mosque. The staffs were friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall positive experience. I highly recommend this tour and look forward to returning with my friends, Insha'Allah. #OpenDoorsOpenMinds

Fantastic opportunity to learn about the Emirati culture and seeing how Old Dubai has transformed into New Dubai. Hamad and Ali were extremely knowledgeable and answered all questions and made the tour a great experience. The dinner at the Majlis was so special and an experience I will never forget. Roaman was attentive and made sure we were well looked after.
