About Bushbush Walk:
Bushbush Walks, a result of high demand from my followers asking to join my personal adventures in Old Dubai on (Ana Bushbush) Tourism Vlog.
I lived in 5 countries around the world and I am a firm believer that the only way to re-explore a city and really connect with it is walking in the streets and interacting with locals.
When i lived in NYC in 2006, I walked all of Manhattan on foot using a paper map. All my beautiful memories from Cairo days were from the streets. You want to really know a city, walk.
I live in Dubai since 20 years and I am on an ongoing mission to re-explore it and re-introduce residents & visitors to new authentic sides of Dubai you don’t get to see on TV or social media.
Whether you are a family with little ones, or a company with VIP guests. Bushbush Walks are fun, informative and inclusive; your curiosity will be fed, and you will be entertained while building an unforgettable new memories in Dubai.
Dubai has an inspiring story like no other of it transformed from a pearl fishing village around the creek to a cosmopolitan city. Whether you are a resident or a tourist, you will be inspired & amazed, I promise. I even had locals join & recommend my walking tours!
