We had a tour to Sharjah Emirate today. We saw great sights. The organization was really good. Especially through Nimesh, our tour guide, we learned a lot about the Emirate and people. We were also very well explained to life and culture and all questions could be answered super. We can recommend the tour to all those who want to see not only Dubai and also have interest in culture and history. Thank you again to Nimesh and his nice companion for the beautiful day!

Since having problems with previous two tours in Dubai, we were given a different driver for this one. He was excellent and the tour was very interesting. He took us to the museum which was great and other places of interest. Plenty of photo stops. He didn't rush us and it was a very enjoyable morning. We were told by our previous day's guide that there was nothing to see in Sharjah. There was plenty. Would recommend this tour.
