Rashid Al Nuaimi

Ras Al Khaimah, mountains and coastline. Has driven the Jebel Jais road more times than he can count and still stops at the same viewpoint.

About us
Tour Estate runs guided architecture, heritage and waterfront routes across the Emirates. Small groups, a licensed local guide on every one, and a price that is the whole price.
Our work
How a day here is put together
Three emirates, five neighbourhoods
Abu Dhabi and its two islands, Saadiyat and Yas; then Dubai, and Ras Al Khaimah where the mountains meet the sea. It is a short list on purpose — a route belongs on this site once a guide has walked it often enough to know which gate has no queue at four in the afternoon.
What a day looks like
Between two and seven hours, twelve travellers at the very most, one guide, and pick-up counted inside the price you were shown. The stops are published in order before you book, so nothing about the day is a surprise once it starts.
And when none of it fits
Most of the routes here can be rearranged around you. When none of them is the right shape at all, a guide prices a private day by hand — and the stop-by-stop builder that does it for you is live on its own page: you set the route and see the whole price, then a guide prices that exact day and replies.

Why book with us
The parts other operators leave vague
Priced in full, upfront
The number you see includes VAT, entry and pick-up. Nothing is added at checkout, and nothing at the door.
Guides who live here
Every guide is licensed, local, and rated by the travellers they hosted — not by us.
Cancel up to 48h before
Plans change. Cancel more than 48 hours ahead and the refund is automatic, in full.
Small groups, always
Twelve people maximum on a shared tour, so the guide is answering you and not a crowd.
The people
Who you will actually spend the day with
3 guides run the routes on this site, and here they all are — a portrait rather than a staff directory.
