    Well organised and enjoyable tour with brilliant guide. A lot was packed in but good transfers on an air conditioned bus - delivered as expected.

    Het was een hele trip om bij de bus te komen, mrt het was leuk. Er staat duidelijk vermeld dat er fotostops zijn (dus weinig tijd hebt) en dat je naar een galerie gaat. Natuurlijk willen die mensen iets verkopen, maar dat ben je niet verplicht. Ik vind het hoogtepunt met de Abra naar de overkant en de Souks bezoeken. De Mall is een belevenis op zich. Wat ik lastig vind is het boeken via de app en dan vooral dat je zelf contact op moet nemen met de lokale agent, daar zou TUI in kunnen verbeteren

    Gut war, dass wir vom Hotel abgeholt worden sind, pünktlich wie vereinbart, am Sammelort mussten wir dann 30 Minuten warten bis es los ging. Okay. Grund?Sonst war es eher eine Kaffeefahrt. Infos über Dubai/ die Sehenswürdigkeiten gab es nur über die Kopfhörer. Halt in einer „Kunstgalerie“ wo handgefertigt Wandteppiche vorgestellt wurden, die man kaufen könnte. Auf dem Gewürzmarkt alle in irgendeinem Laden geführt , wo einer im Turbotempo uns Tees und Safran präsentierte, zum riechen
