“Travelling- it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller” - Ibn Battuta
My name is Naeem. I am from South Africa, a beautiful country with a diverse population, a mix of cultures and colours. Unspoilt coastlines and nature reserves. Growing up there, provided me with the opportunity to travel this beautiful landscape and planted the seed of travel deep within…
Over the years, my wanderlust increased and I have been exploring new countries ever since.
I have travelled to Columbia, Venezuela, Argentina and Brazil in South America. In Africa, I have been to Egypt, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Sudan and Kenya. In Asia, I have explored India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Turkey. My European tour covered Switzerland, Belgium, France and Netherlands. I have relaxed on the islands of Maldives and Seychelles. In the Middle East, I have been to Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and my current home the UAE.
In the four year that I have lived in the UAE, I have stayed at over twenty five hotels and resorts locally.
So join me, as there is so much more to discover. My experience from the cities I have travelled and research into lands I intend travelling to, will be a great starting point to plan your perfect itinerary.
I can advise you from experience, which hotels would be best for that perfect getaway. Be it a honeymoon or a family vacation. A spa retreat or a business trip. A special occasion or a once in a lifetime dream.
With a formal education in accounting and Information systems, you can expect your ideas and dreams ideally integrated with your budget reality.
I will handle the searches, comparisons, figures and all the other time consuming bits , so that you can reward yourself by experiencing the world, enjoying the culture, savouring the tastes, indulging in the moment and closing your eyes to sounds that awaken your imagination.
As a Travel Counsellor, I am part of a global network of 1500 people around the world, having access to award winning technology. Being linked to airlines, hotel, resorts and tour companies worldwide, gives me the resources to provide you with an exceptional travel experience – 24/7!
