Description
Join me on an immersive walking tour through the historic heart of Old Dubai, where tradition, culture, and stories come alive. We begin our journey inside the beautiful Al Fahidi Historical District, a charming area filled with narrow lanes, wind towers, and traditional houses that reflect Dubai’s past. I will share insights about the city’s heritage, lifestyle, and the transformation Dubai experienced over the years.
From there, we will walk through the Old Souk (Textile Market), where you will see colorful fabrics, pashminas, and local handicrafts. After exploring the market, we will enjoy a traditional abra ride across the famous Dubai Creek — one of the oldest transportation methods in the city and a perfect spot for photos.
On the Deira side of the Creek, we will visit the aromatic Spice Souk and the world-famous Gold Souk. Here, you will discover spices, souvenirs, perfumes, and some of the largest gold displays in the world. Along the way, I will show you hidden gems, give you useful tips, explain local traditions, and help you experience the real, authentic side of Dubai. This tour is ideal for first-time visitors and anyone who wants to explore Dubai beyond the modern skyline.
