A new tour guide course is being held at the Dubai Cruise Terminal which operates under the Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM).

The nine-day course, which started on April 11, aims to enhance the knowledge of all the participants on tourism in Dubai and all aspects about the emirate which interests tourists.

It is being supervised by the Training Solutions section of the department, which regularly arranges courses for tour guides.

Faisal Kadfour Al Mohairy, senior trainer at Training Solutions, said: "The tour guide plays an important role as they are the medium between Dubai and the tourists and are their main information providers that will educate them about what the emirate has to offer as a destination."
