We cannot thank him enough ♥️Written February 5, 2025

He collected all of my requests and made a great itinerary that we were able to visit as more as we can during the short stay of 10 hours in Bahrain.

Thank you Maher for a memorable tour of your beautiful country. 🙏Written December 29, 2024

I highly recommend booking this tour with Maher, he was lovely and welcoming and we learnt so much about the history of Bahrain from him.
The fort was closed for renovation but we were still able to walk round the outside at sunset. Having Maher at the Bahrain National Museum was great, there is no way would have left so well informed if we were touring on our own. The highlight of the tour was the Al-Fateh Grand Mosque, the mosque volunteer was a lovely man and we could have spoken to him all day!

Maher was simply fantastic- he was deeply knowledgeable about every topic and question we raised (and we certainly asked no shortage of questions). He was also extremely clear on the pickup process, sending pictures of the car and telling us exactly where he’d be. Everything was really well thought out and honestly couldn’t have been a better tour. We’ve done several of these through the Gulf region and this tour of Bahrain really stood out

Maher is the most pleasant, educational, and polite gentleman. He gave us an exceptional tour of Bahrain. He arrived at exactly the time he said, sent us a pic so we would recognize him, and had a nice car to drive us around the city. He was worth every penny and probably should be charging more. His English is perfect. He is a retired educator and shows in his passion to teach. He helped us practice our Arabic on him and even helped us negotiate good prices in the market when we asked him to help us find a few things we wanted. He even hooked us up with a friend of his for a tour Kuwait when we told him we were in need. That one was just as good.

Mr Maher a soft spoken well mannered and highly educated experienced person who conducted our tour in an excellent manner in the given time frame giving us a great insight of History of Bahrain. In spite of over 40 deg Celsius temperature and being Tuesday when the Bahrain Museum was closed he conducted our tour in a way as if nothing was missed out. He stopped at all those places enroute where we could take memorable photos and helped in clicking the photos also.
His car is well-maintained and his driving is smooth.
His narrations are precise.
Thanks Mr. Maher for Kadak Chai and Samosa. We loved that.

The tour was excellent! My guide was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable; his English was excellent; and he seemed to know most of the people we encountered along the way. He was able to describe parts of the city that we did not have time to stop in. I could not have gotten a better feeling for the city, its heritage, and its evolving future.

I had an enjoyable time with Maher our guide. He was local Bahraini and regaled us with stories of his youth, and the city. Besides being informative, he was punctual with the pick-up, and most importantly communicated very well in English. A friendly, warm, smiley chap :) We first visited the famous Bahrain Al Fateh Grand Mosque 🕌 with a most engaging tour inside. We then made our way to the Bahrain National Museum whereby Maher brought us around, providing fascinating commentary whilst patiently answering our questions. After that, we visited the UNESCO site of the Bahrain Fort. This was my favourite stop. However it was already noon so the sun was literally blazing above us. Perhaps the only suggestion for change is to start with the Fort in the morning whilst it is less hot, and to do all the in-door attractions in the late morning and afternoon.
We finally ended with a fun but brief tour of the Bahrain Souk. (I believe it was the Bab El-Bahrain Souk in Manama). Wish we spent more time here. Maher was exceedingly helpful in bringing us through narrow lanes to find perfumed oils and local snacks.
Totally recommend Maher as your guide!! :)

Thank you so much Sam for your valuable feedback.
I will change the visit to the Fort to make it the first site to visit, before the sun gets hot.
Thank you for this note.
It was my pleasure to escort you and show you around in Bahrain.
Wish you all the best.

Maher is an excellent local guide. He picked us up at our hotel on time. He took us to the spectacular sights for photo ops. He was very patient when we got a little bit delayed at a shop in the Souk. We admire his enthusiasm in explaining about the history of Bahrain at the museum. Also, he has packed chilled water and some snacks for us. Shukran. Highly recommended!!!

Maher is friendly & courteous. He arrived on time. He shows iconic buildings & sharing information the history of Bahrain. Covered the itinerary as stated. At Manama Souq, he treats local special tea. The tea tastes unique & flavour was great 👍. (Tea with Saffrons, mint & Rose).
