Itinerari Speciali
is a project I started in 2020 to present a new Dubai, distinct from the usual representation of the city, by helping people discover hidden corners away from typical tourist routes. The goal of Itinerari Speciali is to change the common perception of the city and reveal its authenticity and uniqueness.
I am Michela Spugnini, welcome!

Cose
means things in Italian. This is the blog of Itinerari Speciali.
These are inspirations and insights that I then use in my storytelling, during my tours. They start as notes and scattered ideas, and here they finally come to life…
My name is
Michela Spugnini,

I live in Dubai, and since 2018, I have been a tour guide and expert in creating tailor-made vacations in the United Arab Emirates!
How can I help?
Is the phrase I repeat most often each day, and it is the essence of my work! My goal is to make your travel experience the best it can be. I aim to make the UAE more understandable, to dismantle common stereotypes, and to share its history, traditions, art and culture.
Write to me and share your dream of visiting this wonderful destination! Together, we can create your trip based on your needs and preferences. You can email me to schedule a free consultation video call or start exploring the experiences I’ve already selected and book the one you like most!
I look forward to seeing you in Dubai,
Enjoy your trip!

Today we visited Abu Dhabi on a tour organized by Michela Spugnini. Everything was perfectly planned: the driver picked us up from home, and we visited the mosque, the Louvre, and Ferrari World. We stopped for a delicious lunch.
Thank you to Michela Spugnini for the perfect organization. In a couple of days, we’ll be heading to the desert, and I’m sure it will be fabulous!

We had an unforgettable day! Mimmo picked us up directly from home. We visited the Grand Mosque, the Louvre, and Ferrari World, everything was absolutely perfect 👍.
We also enjoyed a delicious lunch with local dishes!
In a couple of days, we’ve already booked the desert tour, and we’re sure it will be just as unforgettable!
Thank you, Michela Spugnini!!! You were fabulous!!!!

The trip to Dubai organized by Itinerari Speciali was an unforgettable experience, filled with adventure and culture. Our journey began in the desert, where we had the chance to try dune bashing—an exhilarating activity that made us feel the adrenaline rush as we sped over the golden dunes. The view of the desert landscape at sunset was simply breathtaking, with colors shifting from warm orange to deep blue. […]
The trip to Dubai with Itinerari Speciali was the perfect blend of adventure, culture, and relaxation. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to discover the best of Dubai and Abu Dhabi in an authentic and immersive way.

I visited Dubai in early January with my family and entrusted Michela with organizing our tour. Our expectations were far exceeded. With our guide, Adriano, we explored places in Dubai and Abu Dhabi that truly enchanted us. Adriano was very professional and incredibly friendly, making us feel right at home!
We will recommend this agency to everyone. Thank you for everything, until next time!

The tours to discover Dubai are always a surprise, even for someone like me who has been a resident for many years, and Shindagha was a wonderful discovery; I now recommend everyone to go there. Thanks to Michela Spugnini, who, with her expertise and passion for her work, makes every tour special.

"Shindagha Mon Amour" was my second tour with Michela! I did the Alserkal Avenue tour, and I loved both of them! I highly recommend her tours to anyone interested in getting to know this country better…

[…] Michela helped me fully appreciate the soul, fascinating and much older than I had imagined, of what is often considered a city without soul. […]

We’re heading back now.
Everything was great. We had a lot of fun, and everything went very well.
It was a beautiful experience. The VIP upgrade was definitely worth it. Enjoying dinner seated is a whole different experience.
Thank you so much!!
We will definitely return in March and catch up on what we couldn’t do during these days.

She took my advice and organized everything on her own! But she still wanted to thank me. That’s perfectly fine, too! :)
