A Bit About Me
Hi, I’m Dave. Nice to meet you.
When I first moved to Dubai, I remember that strange mix of excitement and not quite knowing where to start. New city, new routines, new everything. So I did what most people do… explored, asked questions, got things wrong, found shortcuts, figured out the neighbourhoods and slowly made Dubai feel like home.
What I didn’t expect was how much I’d enjoy showing other people around and helping them skip all the confusion I went through. It started with friends, then visitors, then people who had just arrived and needed someone friendly to help them get their bearings.
That’s basically how Arabian Dave Tours began: one person helping another find the parts of Dubai that make life here easier, more enjoyable and a lot less overwhelming.
What I Do
I keep everything private, relaxed and tailored. No big groups, no scripts and no rushing. Just a simple promise. I will show you the parts of Dubai that matter most to you.
I focus on three tours:
-
Orientation Tours (the most popular)
Perfect for anyone who has just moved or is thinking about it.
We look at neighbourhoods, daily essentials, schools, shops, commuting, lifestyle differences and the practical tips you genuinely need. Most people finish the day feeling clearer, more confident and ready to get settled.
-
Discover Dubai: Full Day
Designed for visitors who want to experience the real Dubai.
We can see the well known sights if you want to, but the heart of this tour is exploring the places most visitors never reach. Local pockets, quieter corners, everyday neighbourhoods and the bits that give you a real feel for the city beyond the usual postcard spots.
-
Escape the City
Great for newcomers and visitors who want to see what is on offer outside of the bright lights.
We head to mountains, beaches or peaceful parts of the UAE. Hatta, Fujairah, scenic coastline and other beautiful places that feel a world away from the skyscrapers.
