Manoj Tulsani- CoFounder of Rayna Tours and Travels
Modest Start:
Manoj Tulsani and Kamlesh Ramchandani met while working at Safeer Group of Companies. Their like-mindedness for travel and unrelenting urge to reach out to more and more people marked the modest beginning of Rayna Tours a decade ago. Working within the Flora Grand Hotel, the start wasn’t a direct route to their business success; they didn’t have enough money or a great team/mentor or other resources to support their efforts.
Although they had to give their entire personal savings away, they still took it upon themselves to work their way through these bouts of setbacks. As the focus was to organize tours for hotel guests meticulously, this innovative idea which was something overlooked then soon got clicked. They went on to add more of such outlets inside the city’s significant four-Star and five-star hotels till they established themselves as a full-grown Destination Management Company. Rayna Tours is now an ISO certified company with its main office in Abu Hail, Dubai. It also has more than 70 outlets across Dubai’s popular shopping centres and hotels.
Reaching Greater Heights with International Branches, Launch of Value-Packed Services and Diversified Business Solutions:
Following its massive success in the UAE and India, it exploded into the international markets by opening branches in different parts of the world, such as Cape Town, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Turkey. The company has also recently launched the first of its kind Abu Dhabi sightseeing pass, namely, My Abu Dhabi Pass, in association with Abu Dhabi Government’s Department of Culture and Tourism (DCT). This remarkably offers up to 50% savings on Abu Dhabi sightseeing. That’s not all; the company has been successful in diversifying its business activities into real estate, construction etc., with its sister concerns including Raasha Real Estate and KNR Transport.

Today, Rayna Tours has their line-up of products including desert safaris, dhow cruises, limousine tours, yacht tours, adventure tours etc. Remarkably, these tours don’t involve any dependence on middlemen. This indicates that they have complete control over the services’ logistical requirements, and not to mention its affordability and quality. On the whole, they promise exceptional customer experience and more importantly, best price guarantee for most of its offerings.
