She also specializes in Saudi Arabia, where she recently organized a business trip to AlUla for several dozen executives. “After living in Abu Dhabi for three years and visiting almost every year since, I have come to love the local culture and people. I arrange for clients to have a private guide for the day to take them around to sites like the Grand Mosque and the Louvre,” Gallo says. “If a traveler wants to indulge in fine dining, I recommend they eat at Mezlai in the Emirati Palace.” Language(s) Spoken: English Average Daily Spend: $500 per person Trip Planning Fees: $250 Contact Info: agallo@royal-travel.com | 847-997-7435 royal-travel.com Instagram.com/ashleygallo319 Was this page helpful?
