A YEAR IN REVIEW
TESTIMONIALS
I loved the ease of the interaction. It felt like meeting with friends that would answer all our questions that we had regarding the UAE and it’s heritage. They were both fun and knowledgeable making us guess the reason for some traditions which enhanced our learning. I had been in the souq several times before but never had the opportunity to experience it this way. It was truly enjoyable.
Ahmed and Abdallah are two of the most hospitable humble people who showcase their passion for Emirati culture. This was very obvious in the whole experience and i can’t recommend them enough! Definitely looking forward to taking more family and friends and enjoying the different experiences they offer.
I had a beautiful experience today. I am so happy to learn the different techniques of the Arabic calligraphy. Abdallah was an amazing teacher. He was so kind and patient to answer all my questions. I felt the introduction was a little long that we could have had more practice with the lettering. Overall, I really enjoyed and learnt how to do Arabic Calligraphy. Thank You MyDeleel for these workshops. All the best for all your future projects.
Truly fascinating, the amount of dedication from the founders is amazing, the experience itself was unbelievable and the instructor was lovely!
Great to see a group of passionate locals bringing the community together through different experiences that include culture. Looking forward to many more events.

I was never into yoga and thought of it as a very boring activity. But MyDeleel changed my perception of it. First of all, the instructor was amazing. She took into consideration everybody's yoga experience and level. But what played major role is the place itself. Having a yoga class in a historical part of Dubai, under the sky, in a quiet yet open area was beyond all my expectations. It will definitely have a place in my heart and my mind. Thank you, MyDeleel for such a breath taking experience.
