Overview

This tour is unique because you will see something different from what Dubai is known for: tall buildings and big malls. This journey will take you back in time to where it all started: the old town of Al Fahidi with its famous wind towers and narrow streets; the famous Dubai creek, where you will see boats crisscrossing; and the spice and gold markets, a traditional market.

Learned a lot

Had a nice time learning about the history and culture of Dubai. Did not realize how hot it is in September though! Would advise bringing lots of water and a hat this time of year.

Learned so much in such a short time.

Our guide Natalino did an amazing job. I would have loved to have him for each excursion we went on; however, one of our days was crazy without him. Thank you for being great at what you do, lil Christmas🙏🏽🥹
