Abids Tours & Travels

The office is right there at 50 Residency Road, inside Ebrahim Residency. It’s a busy part of town, so there’s always something going on outside the window. We spend the day on the phones or looking at computer screens trying to find flights that aren't too expensive. It can get a bit hectic when someone needs a visa last minute or a bus gets cancelled. We’ve been at this spot for some time, and the desk is usually covered in papers and ticket printouts. People come in looking to go see family or maybe just take a break somewhere far away. We do a lot of the boring stuff like checking schedules and making sure the dates line up right. Sometimes the internet is slow and we have to wait, which is annoying when a customer is sitting right there. It’s not a big glamorous place, just a room with some chairs and a lot of maps. We mostly handle local trips and some bigger ones too. Most of the work is just double-checking names and passport numbers so nobody gets stuck at an airport. It’s a lot of back and forth with airlines and hotels. Sometimes the coffee machine breaks, but we keep going. It feels good when someone comes back and says their trip went okay. Just a normal travel shop on Residency Road where we try to get the bookings done right.
