Walks of Dubai

Walks of Dubai (registered as Mohamed Mawla Tourism LLC) is a tour-and-travel company based in Dubai, UAE. According to its public listing:

• They describe their mission as: “Explore Dubai like a local! Our goal is to show you the best of Dubai, the real Dubai. See Dubai through our eyes.” 

• Their contact details show a phone number +971 55 282 4856 and a website at www.walksofdubai.com. They are listed under “Walks of Dubai (Mohamed Mawla Tourism LLC)” according to MapQuest. 

Essentially, they offer guided walking tours and broader travel-packages in Dubai, targeting both sightseeing and an “authentic/local” experience rather than purely luxury sightseeing.

What They Offer

From available material, here are the key services and offerings:

Guided Walking Tours

One of their highlights is a walking-tour experience through “Old Dubai”, souks (markets), Creek and heritage areas. For example:

• A “Dubai Aladdin Tour: Souks, Creek, Old Dubai Without Food” deal listed on Groupon for children or adults. Includes guided walking tour, local guide, bottled water, photo stops at places like the Dubai Museum & Al Fahidi Fort, Bastakia Quarter, Abra ride across the Creek. 

• The itinerary shows that the tours aim to take participants off the glitzy high-rise circuit and into the older parts of Dubai (heritage district, souks).

Full Travel Packages

Beyond walking tours, they offer full travel-packages:

• Their website mentions “All inclusive Dubai Package… Starting from $599 – Flights, Hotels & Tours Included.” 

• So they appear to act also as a tour-operator/aggregator for visitors to Dubai, not only walking tours but also hotel accommodations, transfers, flights in some cases.

Target Experience & Audience

• The “see Dubai like a local” tagline suggests they are targeting travellers who want more than just the standard “tower/photo-stop” experience—those interested in heritage, local culture, markets, walking, exploring the older neighborhoods.

• They also position themselves competitively in terms of pricing (e.g., deals via Groupon).

• Based on reviews: their TripAdvisor listing shows a large number of reviews (1,834) and a good rating (5.0 on MapQuest listing) which suggests they are recognised and used by many travellers. 

Why It Can Be a Good Choice

Here are some of the strengths of Walks of Dubai, based on the evidence:

• Authentic heritage focus: Many Dubai tours focus on skyscrapers, mega resorts and modern glitz. Walks of Dubai offers tours through Old Dubai, souks, traditional neighborhoods — which is a differentiated experience.

• Local insight & walking format: The walking-tour format means you spend time on foot, in smaller groups, in actual neighborhoods — which can give you more of a sense of place, history, architecture, and local life.

• Multiple levels of offering: Since they also provide full travel packages (hotel, flights, tours), you can possibly consolidate your travel planning through them (if that suits you).

• Reviews & volume: Large number of reviews show many people have used them; good ratings suggest quality is acceptable.

• Affordability: Their deal offerings (e.g., via Groupon) indicate the tours may be relatively budget-friendly compared to premium exclusive tours.

Things to Check / Consider

As with any tour operator, especially in a destination like Dubai where there are many players and a wide spectrum of quality, here are things you should check when booking with Walks of Dubai:

• Itinerary details: Confirm exactly what the walking tour covers (which neighborhoods, how long, what landmarks), what’s included (guide, water, entry fees, boat rides) and what’s not included. For example in the Groupon deal, food was excluded. 

• Group size / pace: Since it’s a walking tour, make sure the pace and comfort level suit you (especially if you are older, have mobility issues, or children).

• Meeting points & transfers: Usually walking tours require you to reach a meeting point. Make sure transport from your hotel is easy or included; check how far the meeting point is from your location.

• Footwear / weather considerations: Dubai can be hot, especially midday — walking outdoors means sun, heat, etc., so plan accordingly (water, sun-hat, comfortable shoes).

• Authenticity & expectations: While the “local heritage” promise is good, check how much time you’ll actually get in really old neighborhoods vs. how much is still “tourist-friendly”.

• Additional costs/optional upgrades: Some tours may offer upgrades or optional add-ons (e.g., street-food tastings, private transfers, premium hotel picks) — check what is included in your price.

• Reviews for the exact tour you’re booking: A company may have many tours with varying quality. Read reviews for the particular walking tour you plan to join (date, season, group size).

• Cancellation policy & flexibility: As with any international trip, check how they handle cancellations, changes in tours (weather, trade fairs, etc.).

• Matching your travel style: If you prefer very high-luxury, personalized private tours with premium cars, alternative operators may offer more of that. Walks of Dubai seems more mid-range and heritage-oriented.

Typical Example Itinerary

Based on their advertised tour (and similar walking-tour listings for Dubai), a typical itinerary with Walks of Dubai might look like:

• Meet at designated meeting point in Old Dubai (for example Al Fahidi area or near a metro station).

• Walk through the historic district (maybe the Bastakiya/Al Fahidi neighbourhood) and view traditional architecture (wind-towers, coral-stone buildings).

• Visit a coffee museum or local café for photo-stop / quick refreshment.

• Continue to the Creek (Dubai Creek) and take a traditional Abra boat ride across the water (common in these tours).

• Explore the Spice Souk and the Gold Souk (traditional markets) — wander among the shops, see local trade & architecture.

• Photo-stop at a heritage fort (like Al Fahidi Fort) or at Al Fahidi Museum area.

• Finish perhaps at a promenade or a café area at the Creek or historic district.

• Duration: A few hours (often 2-4 hours) depending on the tour.

• Included: Guide, bottled water, boat ride (depending on version) — Excluded: meals (often).

(This is consistent with the Groupon listing and other walking-tour descriptions in Dubai.)

Practical Tips & Advice

Here are some additional tips if you decide to book with Walks of Dubai (or similar walking-tour operators in Dubai):

• Best time to walk: Early morning or late afternoon/evening tend to be cooler and more comfortable for walking. Mid-day in summer can be very hot.

• Wear comfortable footwear & clothing: Good walking shoes, light breathable clothes, sun-hat, sunscreen.

• Hydration: Bring or ensure they provide bottled water — walking outdoors in Dubai heat demands it.

• Bring your camera/phone: These walking tours go into interesting historic/photogenic neighborhoods (souks, alleys) so you’ll have photo-op moments.

• Arrive on time: Since you’re part of a guided group, being on time helps.

• If your hotel is far out: Check how you will reach the meeting point and how far it is from your hotel or metro station.

• Ask about inclusions: Confirm what exactly is included (e.g., boat ride) and what will cost extra.

• Mobility & children: If you are travelling with children, elderly, or someone with mobility constraints, ask about the walking pace, terrain (some alleys in old districts can be uneven).

• Weather & season: If you’re visiting in the hot summer months, check if the tour has indoor breaks or shade, and plan accordingly.

• Cultural respect: Old neighborhoods and souks may reflect traditional Emirati/Arab culture. Dress modestly (especially for women) and follow local customs.

Walks of Dubai offers a solid option for travellers who want more than just high-rise glitz in Dubai — those who wish to explore the heritage side, the souks, the historic districts, and walking on foot with a local guide. If that aligns with your style (mid-range budget, heritage experience, comfortable walking pace) then they could be a very good pick.

If instead you are looking for ultra-luxury, private chauffeured tours, or major resort experiences, you might compare with other premium operators. But for the “walk-through-old-Dubai” style experience, Walks of Dubai delivers value.
