Hi friends welcome to my blog site – www.mydubaiguide.blogspot.com
Firstly I take this opportunity to thanks all my family members,
friends, colleagues & especially all my tourists from around the globe that
I’ve have met in the past 11years of my service in United Arab Emirates. With
your support & guidance, I start my blog site & look forward to your
support. Spread the word….
It’s Me …Who? …. KuMaR
I have lived, laughed, loved and enjoyed in
Dubai for over 30 years. It feels home when I get to the creek side, walking
along the wind tower houses in Bastakiya. My family roots are from India & I
am born in Dubai. A Tour Escort…well it all started when a tourist walked into
our family shop & asked the way to the Dubai Museum. I shot my hand up, it’s just opposite my
house then I proudly led them when I was just 8yrs old. Not knowing I was going
to be rewarded a 5$ tip, which was a lot for my pocket money then. Doing my
education in the first private school in Dubai I realized I could easily be the
favorite of my teacher but that’s not going to fetch me any extra marks in my
finals. Somehow I managed to get through the school. I completed my graduation in Commerce &
Marketing. Opportunities in tourism were on a rise in Dubai, so I persuaded my
Diploma & Degree with International Air Transport Association. Also I
successfully completed Introduction to Civil Aviation with Emirates Airlines.
Giving a start to my career in 2001 with a
leading Inbound Tour Company. Today I have mastered my specialty in handling
large incentive groups, hosting events, escorting VIP’s, Media & travel
agent trips, tour guiding in various emirates, holding training sessions for
our new staff our company recruits. The longer I live in Dubai, the more I
appreciate how fortunate I am to be on intimate terms with a country which is
so unique. It is my privilege to share my knowledge with visitors and help them
understand the vision & challenges of this great city. Some of my tourist
say I am lucky to be living in Dubai as it’s like living in paradise! Well my
grandparents stepped in this desert in 1948 then a small fishing village &
a trading port. They challenged the sea sailing from India almost for 18 days
on the wooden boat known as dhow paying 50 Indian rupees for trip to The
Trucial States of Oman. Later in 1971 a federation was formed and then became
United Arab Emirates. The paradise in the Middle East.
The contrasts are so intense. It’s were the
old meets the modern, where culture & luxury go hand in hand, where diverse
nationalities meet to form an authentic cultural melting pot & Where
cuisine varies from local delicacies to global gourmet. It’s truly a city of
endless possibilities. As truly we say “Where the vision is larger than life”.
I can show you the old fort in the city
built for Defense along the creek. I can tell you about traditions, Customs
& Costumes what people wear & where they are from. I can tell you the
history of the places we see and explain how the desert changed to a City of
Dreams. I can introduce you to Dubai coastline, mountains or desert. I am a licensed
guide & have the most updated information. I truly believe I get paid for
being disturbed so as a tourist please feel free to contact me & it will be
my pleasure to serve you with my best knowledge & experience.
