I was not born in Dubai nor am I an Emirati, but Dubai is my home. I have been living in Dubai for for more than 12 years and am a certified licensed guide. My life is filled with a lot of real life miraculous Incidents which led to me become a Dubai expatriate. I worked as a hospitality professional (chef, bartender) in this city for first 6 years before I became a tour guide by peoples' recommendations. I have seen Dubai transform to what it is today.
