Waqar Ali Abro Made sure to guide us about all the places we where visiting. We have travelled with more than 5 of your drivers and only Waqar was courteous enough to guide us to the entrances and make sure that we dont get lost somewhere. His services and behaviour made our visit to dubai mall and warner brothers even better.
