Dear team of the AYA museum. I want to thank you for the unforgettable moments that your museum presented. I want to thank your employees for their professional approach to each guest. Each room was beautiful in a different way. The creativity of your museum makes every tourist come to Dubai and visit your museum. The impression I got will last for a long time. I can't wait to visit Dubai again to visit your museum. Sincerely, Tural

We had an incredible experience of desert safari, our tour driver Mr. Najam were very professional, made the drive very comfortable and full of fun during sand bashing. Our group consisted of one senior citizen and one infant but Mr. Najam made it very comfortable and everybody enjoyed... At Atlanta it was a good show in the evening.. Only thing is the dinner which was very average.. Overall it was a nice experience..

    This was by far one of the best experiences I’ve had in Dubai! The desert safari was absolutely thrilling – dune bashing was so much fun, and our driver Najam made the whole adventure even better. He’s not only an incredibly skilled and safe driver, but also super friendly, professional, and attentive to every detail.

    It was a mind blogging experience, the entire room was a different experience with the aura of a parallel universe. Dubai never disappoints with the top notch architecture and the innovative technology. I am still reliving the experience, the calmness and grounded energy.
