About this experience
What to expect
Meet your guide and start the tour from the Al Seef heritage area along the banks of Dubai Creek, the city's historic commercial hub. Take in views of the shoreline, traditional dhow boats, and old-world architecture.
Along the Dubai Creek, continue to the Al Fahidi historical neighborhood, a heritage site with much of the original infrastructure preserved. See museums and heritage houses that show you where it all started in Dubai.
Pass the Grand Souk and hop aboard a traditional abra water taxi for a sightseeing journey around Dubai Creek. Soak in the panoramic vistas of huge trading ships and the towering skyscrapers of the city’s skyline as you sail.
Try the street food shawara/ Falafel plus fresh juice ( orange, sugar cane, pomegranate) and sip the Arabic coffee along with dates.
Then, arrive at the Spice Souk and experience the enticing smells and vibrant colors of the spices and ingredients on offer. Try your hand at haggling with local merchants if you wish to go back home with a souvenir.
Finally, step inside the Gold Souk and marvel at the array of fine jewelry, silver, and precious stones. Bid farewell to your guide and leave Dubai with a greater understanding of its traditional culture and history beyond the glitz and glamor.
