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!

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.

A truly interesting morning in a really little-known place in Dubai. Both Michela and Alessandra were very skilled and friendly! I will definitely participate in some other special itinerary.

"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 organized and managed our trip to Oman perfectly. The guide was fantastic, everything was well-timed, and honestly, there’s nothing to criticize. GREAT JOB!!!!
Thank you again for the messages and the attention you gave us.
The trip was perfect, and the hotel, especially for families, is just right. The staff was very attentive and kind, especially with the children.
Great job!

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

Once again, I participated in one of Michela's tours, and I was very happy with the experience.

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.

I did the tour with some friends, and it was incredible. Even though I live in Dubai, I didn't know much about the area and its history, but I came home with so many interesting facts I could never have imagined! Michela was super engaging and well-prepared.

The Malatacca agency, especially Michela, helped me organize more than one vacation in Dubai, Oman, and the Maldives! Michela is very helpful and truly understands what we needed, providing appropriate suggestions based on the travelers' ages, weather conditions, food, etc. I would always recommend her! Fabulous service!!!!

Good morning!!!
We had such a great time; in the end, we went dune bashing and the girls (3 and 4 years old) were super duper excited 🤣🤣
It was a wonderful adventure for us, and that’s what matters ❤️
