We really enjoyed this unique experience led by Nora who my little girl fell in love with. We did the Culture on Wheels followed by brunch back at the centre. The best parts were the introduction at the centre and the brunch. The tour around the neighbourhood wasn’t hugely interesting- a lot of sitting in traffic and nothing very interesting to see - but the rest of the experience was excellent.

The views were amusing and gave a really beautiful sense to the Arabic vintage style of living I’ve always wanted to learn about. Our guide Mr. Hamad, was unquestionably kind and thorough in his presentation at the Mohammed Bin Rashid center for cultural understanding. I was pleased to have met him. He is very friendly too. Overall, fantastic and kind experience.

I could not recommend this tour enough! The trio started with visiting & feeding camels, holding a falcon and seeing an authentic camp/tent. Our tour guide Nora was super friendly, interactive, knowledgeable and engaging. The heritage express bus had aircon & very clean. We drove around old town Dubai before visiting Jumeriah Mosque to visit their museum & had henna! Afterwards we were treated to a lovely brunch in a traditional home & learnt all about the Emirati culture and etiquette. 10/10 recommend as a must see when visiting Dubai!
