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.
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.
