Dr's 8 days trip to Dubai

We three sisters, one from UK and two from India, had decided to meet and enjoy at Dubai. Our tour of 7N8D was organised by Shilpaji of Travel Vichar who has given us a nice and comfortable hotel at reasonable price. The rooms and washroom were nice, large and comfortable. Staff was polite and co-operative. Breakfast was delicious and healthy. There are many good Indian restaurants near this hotel and food quality is good. Shilpaji had given us comfortable 7 seater taxi and a driver for our whole trip right from airport pickup to return drop. Driver was English and Hindi speaking and co-operative. Dubai is tourist friendly country and there are 35 tourist destinations. You need 15 days to see all. However Shilpaji had selected popular and outstanding destinations for us and we used to see 3 destinations every day. We enjoyed our trip thoroughly, thanks to Shilpaji of Travel Vichar.
