The trip was outstanding. The destinations, the unique experiences, the hotels and itinerary were excellent, which made the trip so very memorable. The amount of experience and tours provided were of great quality and value. Also, the tour guide, Massoud, was excellent. A kind, thoughtful and informative guide and great asset for Gate1. Finally, the Tour Manager, Attia, was outstanding. He has the perfect disposition, professionalism, knowledge and demeanor for this job and is a great asset for Gate1.

Í have completed about 14 to 15 tours with Gate1 and I want to inform you that Ramy has been by far the best manager that I ever got with the company. He did a great Job with our group and everybody want home happy with Ramy's service. Thanks for having such a great person working for you.

My trip with your company to Dubai and Abu Dhabi was unforgettable! Our tour guide Hend was very professional, knowledgeable, friendly and overall just the best! I will definitely be using your company again for future trips.

I just returned from my wonderful trip to Dubai and Abu Dhabi. We saw so many wonderful sights, the weather was warm and sunny and the food was delicious. Our hotels were excellent. I met so many people and enjoyed their company. My favorite activity was going to the Berj Khalifa 124 floors high. The observation deck is spectacular. Going to the mosque in Abu Dhabi was very exciting. Tito, our tour guide was knowledgeable and kept us informed with pertinent information on things we were seeing and the places we were going. I would recommend this trip to everyone, I had a great time.

Our trip was absolutely amazing - and so was our guide, Lynette! The itinerary was well planned, giving us ample time to experience all the key sights of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Lynette's extensive knowledge of the region's history, combined with her wonderful sense of humor and personal attention to each traveler, made this journey both memorable and enjoyable. After taking a Gate 1 trip, you can't help, but start planning the next one!

The trip was more than I expected. It was a perfect trip. We have not stopped talking about it. You have me for Life. I will never go anywhere without Gate 1 being in charge of my travel. I will tell everyone I know who travels to use Gate 1. It was perfect from the time we stepped off the plane and were welcomed at the airport by your staff. We will never forget Mr. Attia, our tour guide. This man was amazing. He was professional and treated us as though he knew each of us personally. He gave up so much knowledge regarding the history and culture of Dubai. I hope this company knows the value this man brings to your organization. He is a great asset to your organization. If half of your tour guides have the personality, knowledge, and charisma Mr. ATTIA has, your organization will continue to thrive, and longevity will be with you. Thank you so very much. I think you will receive a response like this from everyone who traveled with me. Mr. Attia made this trip and exceeded my expectations.

What a fabulous trip. Special thanks to the guide, Lynette. She's special! What a great gift to the trip. But, thanks to your company on providing another wonderful experience and terrific guide.

As someone who's traveled with Gate 1 more than 21 times, I've come to expect high standards-but this tour through Dubai and Abu Dhabi exceeded even my seasoned expectations, thanks to the outstanding duo of Attia, our tour manager, and Sadiq, our bus driver. From the moment we landed, Attia leadership was nothing short of exceptional. His deep knowledge of Emirati culture, history, and modern development brought every stop to life with vivid storytelling and thoughtful context. He managed our group with grace, humor, and precision-always anticipating our needs and making sure every detail was handled flawlessly. His passion for the region was contagious, and his ability to connect with each traveler made the experience feel personal and enriching. Sadiq was the quiet hero of the journey. His driving was smooth, safe, and impressively calm-even through the bustling streets of Dubai and the long desert highways. The bus was always immaculate and comfortable, and Sadiq's warm smile and punctuality gave us peace of mind every single day.

We had a spectacular time. Our first tour with Gate 1 was amazing! Starting from the agent who met us at the Dubai airport to the departure time was excellent. The hotels we stayed at, the meals, the places and excursions, the tour guide Ruhee and the driver Sohil, were all perfect 10 ! Communication, organization, planning, patience on the part of the tour guide and driver, punctuality, and most of all the always consistent, caring attitude of the tour guide and driver were all out of this world, They went the extra mile helping and constantly reminding us of important information. Overall, it was sincere and caring customer service. Job well done!

I don't even know how to express how wonderful this tour was. It felt like a dream, and I'm incredibly happy that we traveled with your company. I would choose this tour again-and again, and again. You took care of every need and every beautiful detail, giving us peace of mind and complete comfort. We were treated like royalty, and your tour guide Hend was truly one of the best, polite, knowledgeable, respectful, kind and helpful. I'm so grateful and appreciative, especially since organizing a trip like this would have been impossible. You did it perfectly.

I recently came back from my tour to Dubai and Abu Dhabi. My tour guide Shalini had made my trip an unforgettable experience from start to finish. She was not only knowledgeable but incredibly engaging. She had a rich history of the culture and local customs. In conclusion what really stood out was the passion for the work she did for gate one.

All positive notes about my latest Gate 1 tour. My tour of Oman, Abu Dhabi and Dubai was outstanding. The tour guide Ramy was exceptional. Ramy was the perfect gentleman. Ramy is well versed and has extensive historical knowledge. He was never trumped by any question. He has perfect knowledge of all cities and sites that week visited. Ramy kept our group engaged with his extensive knowledge and his sense of humor. Ramy went out of his way to ensure our comfort and wellbeing. It's rare to be acquainted with such a remarkable tour guide as Ramy. Keep up the good work.

Lynette was an EXCELLENT Tour Manager. She was very punctual and enforced it in a nice gentle way. She made sure that we were all safe all the time. She was very knowledgeable and informative about UAE and she answered all our questions even post tour. She created our group as a family and looked after us like her children. She suggested places of interest not included in Gate1 optional tours and suggested good restaurants. She was courteous and friendly and most of all respectful of our needs. She was proactive and designed changes in our tour to suit our schedules. We always arrived before the big crowd came in. She was very modest about herself and we encouraged her to tell us more about her. Everybody listened when she talked. She's the best Tour Manager we've had in all our 9 Gate1 tours

It was great and a very enjoyable experience. Our tour guide Shalini was excellent and very accommodating to the needs of the members of the tour. She created a real family atmosphere and fun experience. High remarks to her and the driver Ewaldt.

I just want to add that this trip was a dream come true. After my father passed I never thought I would see my mom smile again like I did on this trip. I want to truly thank Gate 1 and Ramy for such a beautiful and wonderful experience. I learned so much from the culture, buildings, living, food, and so much more. Ramy truly goes above and beyond and it really shows that he absolutely loves his job. I am so grateful to have met Ramy. And I hope to do this trip again so many more... BTW I talk and promote Gate1 like my life depends on it... thank you Gate1

The Gate1 trip went as planned with on-time airport pickups and tours as scheduled. Accommodations at hotels in Dubai and Abu Dhabi were good (mid range) and hotel locations were convenient. We liked the independent but well organized travel bookings and tours provided by Gate1. It was easier than doing the bookings by ourselves in unknown cities and in an exotic country (UAE). We also felt reassured that Gate1 had done this for many other travelers and that we would avoid "getting into a pickle" with poor quality hotel or tour experiences or being ripped off. Thanks for your help.

Thank you so much. The trip was FANTASTIC. Our guide Tito was EXCELLENT. We couldn't asked for a better tour guide. He was so friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and punctual. We will definitely be using Gate 1 in the near future. Thank you for everything.

I would like to express my gratitude to our Tour Manager, Ramy, who truly is the best tour guide I've ever had. He is one of those people who live by the motto, "Do what you love, love what you do." Cheerful, professional, caring, knowledgeable, loud, and clear-I couldn't have asked for a better person to be our tour manager during my recent guided trip to Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Ramy made our tour unforgettable, and I feel lucky to have had the chance to be taken care of by him.

This was a fantastic trip, made even better with the Omani Guide Masoud and a Marvelous Tour Guide Shalini. Both went out their way to bring the two countries cultural history to life. Extremely well organized, punctual and entertaining. The buses and 4 wheel Drive Vehicles were clean and comfortable. 10 out of 10.

My trip was fabulous. I had a wonderful time. Our tour manager, Ramy was very nice and catered to our needs. Our driver, Samad was very skillful and efficient. They made our trip most memorable.

The trip was wonderful and Tito was an excellent guide. He gave a lot of information.

My trip was amazing, more than I expected. I enjoyed experiencing and learning about a whole new culture, food, shopping, beautiful hotels and last but not least, our amazing tour guide Attita. Thank you for your guidance from beginning to end.

My very first tour with Gate 1 was excellent! This was my third trip to Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and it was my best trip to the region. Our tour guide Attia was magnificent, extremely professional, yet personal and very accommodating. His depth of knowledge and delivery of information and logistics went well beyond previous tours to the region. Between Attia and our bus driver, I would highly recommend my next group and travelers have that exact team, to help them discover the beauty of Dubai and all that has to offer the world. It was a very impressive tour that will be hard to compete with. Thanks to our wonderful tour guide Attia and driver for providing lifelong memories that I will happily share with my family and friends. I look forward to future Gate 1 adventures and would like for my next group trip to Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Oman to be led by Attia. My wife is a travel advisor, and she was equally impressed with the services received during our tour. We are anticipating our next Gate 1 Tour.

The trip was great. We had a caring and knowledgeable tour guide Hind, who is an amazing person as well. We stayed in excellent hotels. The food was delicious and offered in abundance. The tours were well organized, and we appreciated the cultural experience that was offered to us. GATE1 will be our number one choice for discovering new places in our future travels.

Thanks, Gate1 for an excellent and well-organized tour of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Our tour Manager Shalini is exceptionally knowledgeable about the history of Dubai, it's government, it's rulers, it's locals and seemingly every aspect of life in this developing nation. She was a fun tour manager, firm when it was needed and witty and entertaining. From the time we entered the tour bus there was a running commentary until we reached the next stop. On our free time, there was always a suggestion of what we could do. She also thought us how to haggle our way in the marketplace as we went shopping. Thanks again Gate1.

Our Dubai/Abu Dhabi trip was beautiful. I completed the survey but also wanted to thank Shalini for her care of the group. She was very knowledgeable about the country and culture. She was excellent about explaining what we'd experience and what was expected of us at each stop. I also wanted to mention the excellent job our driver, Anwar, did. We felt safe whenever in his care as well.

It was an amazing trip with an amazing tour guide. This was my first traveling with a guided tour travel company. Gate 1 exceeded my expectations. I would have no problem traveling around the world with this company by myself. Shalini was amazing and funny and knowledgeable. I felt myself missing her when I returned home. I made new friends and had so much fun! I cannot wait to book my next trip! I also feel that there was great value for the money. Thank you so much for making travel affordable for me.

Simply the best trip ever. I don't usually like guided tours. I like to take my time on my own. I changed my mind now. The atmosphere, hotels, foods, etc... were simply Amazing. Let's not forget Attia, the tour manager, he was simply Amazing. He made it so at ease for everyone, I felt like I was traveling with my own family. Let's just say that my upcoming trips will be with gate1 travel moving forward.

It was awesome! Our first escorted trip from Gate 1. Definitely not our last! My husband & I are already scheduled to go to Spain in December thru Gate 1 too. The blazing desert heat did not dampen our excitement & enjoyment. Like everything especially, the desert dune bashing & camel ride. Shalini mad everything smooth & easy. I miss her!

Would like to give a special thanks to our tour manager Attia. During our time spent he was informative, entertaining, enthusiastic , engaging and his passion for the culture was apparent. Great asset to the Gate1 team.

My husband and I had the most wonderful vacation. Thanks to your tour guide Shalini we learn so much about the culture, the people and sites we visited in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. She took good care of us and made us feel safe because it is very safe in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Enjoyed all your optionals and highly recommend Shalini as a tour guide and Anwar as your driver .

Shalini was one of the best tour managers my family could have asked for- she was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout our trip. She navigated the group and treated everyone like family. She also kept us very safe every day and offered us suggestions of activities to do in the cities we visited. I will definitely be coming back to visit based off of this vacation experience!

I recently had the pleasure of joining a Gate 1 Travel trip to Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and I cannot express enough how fantastic the experience was! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organized, making our journey smooth and enjoyable. Our guide, Shalini, was truly the highlight of the trip. Her extensive knowledge of the local culture, history, and attractions made each destination come alive. Shalini was not only informative but also incredibly friendly and approachable, always ready to answer questions and offer personalized recommendations. Her passion for the region was evident and infectious, which made us even more excited to explore. The itinerary was well-structured, allowing us to see iconic landmarks such as the Burj Khalifa, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, and the stunning desert landscapes. Each day was filled with memorable activities, and we never felt rushed. The accommodations were top-notch, and the transportation was comfortable and timely. What I appreciated most was how Shalini went above and beyond to ensure everyone in the group felt included and engaged. Her warm personality created a wonderful camaraderie among the travelers, turning strangers into friends. Overall, I highly recommend Gate 1 Travel for anyone looking to explore Dubai and Abu Dhabi. With Shalini as your guide, you're in for an unforgettable adventure filled with laughter, learning, and lasting memories! Thank you, Gate 1 Travel, for an incredible trip!

Our trip was fabulous. Transportation to and from the airport was on time, accommodating, and the drivers/agency communicated with us when and where to meet. The hotel (Millennium Al Barsha) was excellent, with a great ample breakfast; it is in a great location. Emirates airlines, needless to say, was excellent. This was our first but definitely not the last trip we will take with gate 1!

Visiting Dubai & Abu Dhabi was an excellent choice for my first travel of the year!! Our tour guide Shalini, however brought this experience to new heights. I I felt as though I have known her all my life. Her sense of protection as well as her involvement in making sure we optimized every minute of our time there, was simply superb!! Shalini I sincerely enjoyed my time in Dubai/Abu Dhabi especially because of you!!!

WOW!! What else can I say to explain my Gate1 experience!! I believe a trip can be a great experience but what makes it remarkable is the people you experience it with. With that being said... our tour guide Shalini completely made this trip an experience like no other! How someone can go from being a complete stranger to being an auntie and friend all within a week says a lot about them. The trip was so much fun. She really made it feel this wasn't her "job" but instead a fun trip with family. You can tell that even after all the years she has done this every single week, it doesn't get old for her. She has so much love and energy for giving guests the ultimate experience. I could not have imagined anyone else but her doing this tour simply for how much fun she makes it and how much she cared about each and everyone of us. Constant laughing, smiles, and memories on this trip. I feel Like we all left and have talked more about Shalini than we did the sites we saw and activities we did. All in all, it was such a great trip that I'll forever be grateful for. Thank you Auntie Shalini for making me fall in love with Dubai! See you next time!!

My recent trip to Dubai and Abu Dhabi was nothing short of extraordinary, filled with awe-inspiring sights, cultural experiences, and the warmth of Arabian hospitality. From the glittering skyscrapers to the tranquil desert landscapes, every moment was unforgettable. Dubai greeted us with futuristic skyline and vibrant energy. The towering Burj Khalifa and the opulent Burj Al Arab hotel are a marvel of modern engineering. A highlight of our time in Dubai was undoubtedly the desert safari. Riding over the golden dunes in a 4x4 vehicle, we felt the exhilarating rush of adventure as our skilled driver navigated the sandy terrain. The sunset over the desert was a breathtaking spectacle. Abu Dhabi was a blend of tradition and luxury. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was majestic. It was such a peaceful place, and we felt a sense of calm as we explored its grand halls. Visiting the Louvre Abu Dhabi was like stepping into another world. The art and artifacts from different cultures and times were so fascinating Now to our tour guide...Our amazing tour guide, Shalini, was a beacon of knowledge and hospitality. She was the heart and soul of our trip. Shalini's love for the country and its culture was infectious, enriching our experience at every turn. She shared so many stories and facts with us along the way. She was not just a guide; she felt like a friend always looking out for us and making sure we were having the best time. Shalini went above and beyond to make our trip special, from recommending the best local spots to ensuring everything ran smoothly. Her warmth and hospitality made us feel like VIPs, and we are so grateful for all she did to make our adventure unforgettable. Our trip to Dubai and Abu Dhabi exceeded all expectations, thanks in large part to the incredible sights we witnessed and the exceptional guidance of Shalini. It's an experience will cherish forever, and I am looking forward to returning to explore more of this captivating region.

I wish to commend our tour guide, Ruhee, for the hard work she had shown us. She is very pleasant, very knowledgeable and goes out of her way to accommodate us. She did not mind taking our picture despite the sand and wind during our Safari tour. She is the best! I highly recommend Ruhee to be the tour guide to anyone who wishes to visit Dubai. You will be in good hands.

Our trip was amazing! Shalini was one of the best tour guides I've ever had. She was very knowledgeable and very helpful. Our guests were impressed.

Exploring the vibrant and diverse landscapes of the United Arab Emirates was a dream come true, made even more memorable by the expertise and warmth of our guide, Mrs. Lourdes. From the bustling streets of Dubai to the serene deserts of Abu Dhabi, Sharjah markets every moment of our journey was enriched by her knowledge, professionalism, and genuine passion for sharing the beauty of her country. Mrs. Lourdes's deep understanding of the UAE's history, culture, and traditions provided us with invaluable insights at every turn. Her storytelling skills transported us through time, allowing us to connect with the rich tapestry of this fascinating land. Whether it was navigating the labyrinthine souks of Old Dubai or marveling at the futuristic skyline of Sheikh Zayed Road, Mrs. Lourdes's commentary added depth and context to our experiences, making them all the more enriching. In addition to her wealth of knowledge, Mrs. Lourdes's warmth and hospitality made us feel like welcomed guests. Whether it was recommending the best local eateries to savor authentic Emirati cuisine or providing invaluable tips for navigating the bustling city streets, she went above and beyond to ensure that our trip was nothing short of perfect. Overall, our journey through the UAE with Mrs. Lourdes was an unforgettable experience that exceeded all expectations. Her passion for UAE, coupled with her professionalism and genuine care for her guests, truly set her apart as an exceptional guide. We left the UAE with hearts full of memories and gratitude, thanks in large part to Mrs. Lourdes's invaluable contributions to our adventure. We can't wait to return and explore more of this captivating country with her guidance once again

I thank you guys for having arranged such a fabulous truly, small group discovery which started with a country I could not find on a map; however, it has so much to offer. Days were not enough to discover this beautiful, peaceful and welcoming country of Oman. We enjoyed the history, the cruising of its beautiful chains of mountain all over, and every family with which we shared and enjoyed their homemade and traditional meals and learned from and about them and their culture. It was a fun experience traveling, not only seen the panoramic of the desert as we crossed the border over to the Emirates. We arrived and climbed over 4,000 feet to our Mercury Hotel in Al Ain, a city in Abu Dhabi and as well explore its culture and beauty and then Dubai, both with such magnificent architecture. Thank you, guys, for making a dream a reality. Just didn't want vacation to end!

One of the best ones yet- Salini was incredible!!! I wish she could lead all of my tours. Wonderfully efficient, organized, caring, kind and able to handle any situations that developed -including dealing with UAE's brand-new regulations regarding busses crossing from Oman. She miraculously made food and beverages appear (and bathrooms) wherever. we were. I cannot say enough about her ability to take care of every situation with a smile, sense of humor and efficiency. I have traveled with Gate 1discovery tours for years and have never been disappointed with any aspect of the tour. Your product development crew do a fantastic job negotiating with excellent hotels, restaurants and excursions. Thank you!

This trip was one to remember. The flight with Emirates is excellent there was layover in Milan which was great for us to walk around in between 2 long flights. Got to the airport and Gate1 representative was there to put us into hotel. We met our awesome Tour Manager Ms. Shalini who's really awesome as she plays 2 roles a local tour guide as well. She presented all the places cities we visited with such an insight as we are one of the locals. She's incredibly helpful and very friendly. We are wishing and hoping to have her in our next trip wherever it might be. The extra night was great as we were able to have a relaxing time do a little shopping, enjoy the hotel pool and took a cab to a beach nearby. Back to the hotel to sleep for an early pick up and hour drive back to Dubai. This trip was affordable and amazingly fun we surely enjoyed and recommend to our friends.

My first experience with Gate 1 to Dubai was impressive in excellence, connection and friendliness . The tour guy Ramy made the difference in every day of my birthday adventure . The knowledge about his culture is impressive and the way he relates to us as tourist was fascinating ! Ramy's integrity and faithfulness to his roll as a tour manager made the Dubai experience to be in another level. He is phenomenal and at all Times our safety was his priority . I hope that he could be recognize for all he does with tourists year round. Ramy was able to resolve a problem with a purchase I did even on the last day of my tour in Dubai . He promised and he Delivered!

The trip is so wonderful. It has more fun than we expected. Shalini - our tour manager is very professional, responsible and patient. She is the best tour guide we ever have. All drivers are very scheduled. They drove safely. The entire trip is very well organized and scheduled. For sure, we will have more trips with Gate 1 soon.
