Had a wonderful time. It was hard to believe that 20 years ago; Dubai was a desert. All the buildings were above my expectations. The Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi is something to behold. Both hotels were beautiful and our guide Attia was fantastic and went into great detail everywhere we went.

My trip was phenomenal, amazing, mind blowing and spectacular...As it being my first time traveling with gate 1 travel I must say my expectations were beyond met plus more. Gate 1 travel took care of literally "everything" and it made for the traveler to do what is most important enjoy the trip...Our tour guide Chris was amazing she is very good at her job and made for a fun trip. Was very informative on the history of UAE. Our bus driver was so kind and punctual such a kind hearted individual. Upon arrival Sunil was so courteous, accommodating and thoughtful I never expected to be welcomed with such kindness. I wont lie when I first booked with gate 1 travel I was soooo skeptical but a few days during the trip I was already searching for my next adventure. I always wanted to travel for a living and although that dream is far and wide I can somewhat live it out through gate 1 services...I definitely will be taking another trip with gate 1 again once I save up enough but until then I will let my imagination take me on a adventure.

I LOVED it!!! The tour guide was incredibly informative and it’s an absolutely fascinating place to visit. My first trip with Gate1 but it won’t be my last. And thanks to you and all the others at Gate1 who do such a great job taking care of the logistics, arrangements, communications with the customer, etc.

Our trip to Dubai was by far the most amazing trip I have ever taken! We were both absolutely fascinated by the country, the architecture and the history. Everything went so smoothly from the moment we landed to the day we left. The hotels were beautiful, the food was amazing and there are not enough accolades for our guide, Attyia. His knowledge of the area was absolutely mind-boggling. He had an answer to every question asked (and there were plenty!) and kept everything perfectly on schedule. Everyone agreed he was the best guide any of us have ever had. Since returning I have told so many people about this tour and many who had no desire to visit there are now planning on going next year. I may ever consider going again! Once again, Gate 1 lived up to our expectations and more. Can't wait to do another trip!

It was the trip of a lifetime! I tried to post a review but could not find it on the site. Our guide Attia was so knowledgeable, explaining culture and religion, and the history of the region. We feel like we were immersed in a college course! The tours covered so many interesting sites every day. We so enjoyed 2 optional tours especially the dessert excursion, an experience not to be missed. We loved Dubai, until we got to Abu Dhabi, which we loved even more! Thank you from all of us,

We enjoyed the trip very much, and thought that it was an excellent value. Dubai and Abu Dhabi are beautiful cities, and it was fascinating learning about the cities, their history, and the Emerati culture from our guide GiGi. This was the first time that we've traveled with Gate 1 and everything was well done and handled perfectly, in fact we've already recommended Gate 1 to others friends, and one of the couples just booked a river cruise with Gate 1.

My trip was amazing. GiGi our tour guide was exceptional, very knowledgeable, funny, always ready to help and inform about our destinations, she treated us like family. We return with wonderful memories of our vacation to Dubai. Can’t wait for our next trip.

I loved it! Loved seeing Dubai! Thought everything was taken care of at the airport, the hotel was great and Gigi our tour guide was fantastic. The side tours were engaging. Would defiantly go on another Gate one tour again.

My trip to Dubai went of without a hitch. Wonderful trip with beautiful people at a reasonable price - from Emirates Airline and food, to Hilton Garden Inn (Al Muraqabat) and staff, to the tours and tour guides, and the other tourists! No complains whatsoever. I will certainly continue to travel with Gate 1 Travel. Thanks again Gate 1 Travel!!

It was awesome, we had a wonderful time. Dubai is a very unique place, we had no issues and gate 1 made it easy

Fabulous—One of our best (and we’ve been to 56 countries). Attia was undoubtedly the best tour guide we have EVER had.

Wonderful, wonderful trip!...The local office manager, guides, and drivers are top-nothch professionals and ensured that everyone was taken care of!

Gate 1 did a superb job as usual. Great itinerary, well planned and executed. The tour guide Shalini was very knowledgeable, helpful and ensured that Vegetarian meals were made available to me wherever possible. Now we are starting to plan for another vacation with Gate 1 possibly to Jordan, Israel or a combination of both! Many thanks for offering great vacations at affordable prices!

Thank you so much. Our trip was exceptional! We had the best tour guy ever. The hotel was excellent and food was delicious. We had a great time in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Trip went off without a hitch. We were surprised at the efficiency, not used to being walked through airports. The air you booked was perfect. Tour guide in Dubai (Lourdes) was way over the top outstanding. In fact, we think Gate 1 should hire her to teach and inspire other tour guides.

The trip to Dubai was absolutely amazing. This was our first non-escorted trip from Gate 1 so was not sure what to expect but it exceeded our wildest expectations. Everything went smoothly and we covered almost everything in that short period of time. Can’t wait for our next scheduled trip next year.

Thanks Joanne. It was Awesome!!! Thanks for making this a problem free vacation. Everything was well organized and amazing. Lulu was amazing. We had lots and lots of fun.

My trip to Dubai was amazing. The best trip I have taken with Gate 1 so far. :) The attention from the Gate 1 personnel was great like always and our tour guide Lourdes was very knowledgeable. I couldn't think twice to take another trip to Dubai with Gate 1.

The trip was fantastic. The hotels were great and a lot better than we expected. The tour guide was amazing and knowledgeable. Thank you very much for providing affordable trips! We are looking forward next trips with your company soon.

It was fantastic! We had a great time, everything was PERFECT!! Shannaz and the drivers and the greeters did a GREAT job!! We enjoyed the good guidance and information, the welcome reception, etc. The whole trip went well, we had a wonderful time.

We had a wonderful time. Appreciate travel tips provided by Gate 1. All guides and drivers were efficient and professional. Hotel was excellent and staff were friendly and provided excellent service, especially Marites in the dining room.

Dubai was wonderful. The itinerary was great. Our guide was very personable and shared a wealth of information about the country and culture with us. The highlight of the trip was the masque and desert safari.

Our trip to Dubai and Abu Dhabi over Christmas surpassed every expectation we had. What an eye opener to another part of the world. The trip was very educational. It was packed with activities. The hotel accommodations were top notch. The food was good and varied. The bus driver was experienced and a safe driver. The highlight of the trip was our guide, Attia S., a/k/a Tito. He was bright, educated, well versed in the culture and sights, humorous, and spoke perfect English. If we were a rating service, this Gate 1 trip would be at the top of the scale.

We are still jet lagged and also in awe about the "cultural immersion" tour of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The cultural diversity of these two mega cities was something that we did not expect to see, especially in this part of the world. Nearly 85 percent of the population is comprised of expatriate workers. This is our second tour with Gate 1 Travel and we will gladly do it again. Credit goes to our knowledgeable tour guide Mr. Attia from Egypt.

The trip was fantastic! We would absolutely use Gate 1 again. In particular the two tour guides were superb!! Shalini guided us on the half day Dubai city tour and the full day Abu Dhabi tour. She is the BEST guide we have had any time anywhere. She MADE the two tours! Amy (I think that was her name - it was so much easier to pronounce we thought we'd easily remember it. I hope we did.), our guide for Sharjah, was also terrific. She knew so much about Sharjah having lived there that the morning with her was fascinating. Super, super, super. Kudos to Gate 1 for finding such capable ladies.

I have been adjusting back to my time zone but had in incredible time in Dubai. So glad I was able to go & have been recommending Dubai & Gate 1 to friends. Can't wait to get another stamp on my passport.

My husband and I had an excellent time! This was our first time using Gate 1 and we were satisfied with every aspect of the trip. Gate 1 gave much attention to detail. Our schedule and the sightseeing stops were excellently planned. We definitely plan on using Gate 1 in the future. Thanks again.

I can only say it was fabulous. From the flight, to the hotel, and the one day trip to Abu Dhabi, I would highly recommend the trip.

I'm speechless by how amazing it was! Gate 1 will be our go to for all our future getaways. Our tour guide Attia was not only kind but a walking History Channel! Gate 1 is lucky to have him on board. Thank you for the amazing experience!

My trip to the United Arab Emirates, Dubai. & Abu Dhabi was an exciting and breathtaking experiences, what a great place to visit. Starting with the plane ride, food, hotel, tour guides, greeter, the sightseeing, bus drivers the people at the hotel. The kindness and hospitality treatment and anyone I came in contact with was great from every aspect. I had an overall peaceful and safety trip.

The trip was comprehensive, exciting, and just the interactions among the Emirates was fantastic. I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see Dubai/Abu Dhabi and its' beauty. Our tour guide Amer was excellent. From the camel rides to the barbecue, and the Grande Mosque and fantastic accommodations, we could not have been more pleased. There was so much history I learned about the country. Thank you for a well planned informative trip.

A wonderful, exotic adventure. Already plan to visit again, only for a longer period. Everything was handled professionally and expertly. Thoroughly enjoyed the desert ride and dinner and the Dhow dinner cruise. Lourdes (Lu Lu) was very knowledgeable. Look forward to my next adventure!

I'm quite pleased with how well-organized the entire tour was and the selection of hotel, food, sites to visits. The professionalism and well-knowledgeable Gate 1 Travel staff in Dubai were awesome and to be commended. Highly recommended and will definitely consider Gate 1 Travel again in future travels. Thank you for such an educational and enjoyable tour.

We had a wonderful time. We had a full schedule during our trip. We enjoyed our desert safari tour.

Dubai was fantastic! Gate 1 provides an excellent tour for the price. This year was even better than last: lodging, transportation; information about the culture, sightseeing and shopping. Marvelous! This is definitely NOT my last excursion.

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! This truly was the trip of a lifetime. The accommodations were perfect. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about everything and everyplace. The people are so gracious and hospitable. There is so much history to learn about this up and coming region. We learned a lot about Islam. The Mosques are breathtakingly beautiful. We in America, have many false impressions that are quickly dispelled by seeing firsthand and understanding when taking a trip like this. The flights were fabulous, the food excellent, the people truly amazing. We are recommending Gate 1 and the value of what we received was excellent. Looking forward to another trip with Gate 1.

The Dubai-Abu Dhabi tour was excellent. I was especially pleased with the variety of activities. There was a good amount of free time which enabled me to see/do things that were not included in the tour. Our tour guide, Shahnaaz, was excellent, very personable and knowledgeable. The Gate 1 representative, Sunil, was extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend this trip to friends.

I've gone on many trips with Gate 1 and this one was the BEST EVER!! The destination was exciting, the tour guide was excellent, the accommodations were first class and the included excursions were wonderful. Gate 1 always delivers what it says it will deliver, and this time it exceeded expectations. Good job, Gate 1!

It was the most wonderful trip we ever had. Gate 1 made it so easy , so educational. They were so organized from the first minute till the last minute. Many thanks to you and your company . Hope to travel again with your company.

I had a great time. Dubai is very clean, safe and westernized. Very satisfied with Gate 1 service. Guide was very knowledgeable with great sense of humor.

I had a great time in both countries. Fell in love with Jordan, it's beautiful and has so many different landscapes. I'm ready for the next trip! Thanks for your assistance in the trip

It was fantastic, the Gate 1 people in Dubai did a super job. No complaints, best trip we have taken. The hotel was great, service, breakfast good selection. Tour activities, great job. There is no way we could have seen Dubai like we did on our own. Thank you Gate 1, we shall travel with you again.

Great! Mr. Tito was an exceptional guide, patient, personable, knowledgeable. He made every day a joy, we learned so much.

The Dubai trip through Gate 1 was great! Dubai is such an interesting, advanced, pushing the limit - place. This is the first organized tour I've ever booked. I've backpacked 15 countries so this was a huge change of pace. Everything was smooth from the airport transfer, right down to the timed visits during the tours. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Dubai and the Emirates. We were impressed to learn so much about the "little" things that some guides wouldn't share. We felt comfortable and well taken care of. We would recommend Gate 1 to other travelers for sure.

The trip was wonderful. Dubai was eye-popping and so modern - I call it a city of "superlatives" with the tallest, biggest, fastest etc. Astounding! Jordan was equally interesting in a totally different way - 2,200 year old Petra was the highlight for me. The Dead Sea experience also ranks at top of my memories. Beautiful trip. Thank you.
