My name is Muhammad Mazhar, and I have been working in Dubai as a tour guide for about twelve years, especially in Old Dubai. I meet thousands of guests from all over the world. It is my passion to make sure that the people who come to Dubai for sightseeing can enjoy their visit in the best possible way

Pickup

I will be standing right outside Al Fahidi Metro Exit 3, near the small park. Arrive a few minutes early to spot me easily. I will be standing in front of the wooden arch gate, holding a tour guide license. Look for the traditional wind-tower buildings behind me. If needed, you can call me or message for a live location update

Description

Explore the historic heart of Old Dubai on this free walking tour that takes you beyond the usual tourist paths. 


Starting at Al Fahidi Metro Station, we’ll wander through the Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood (Al Bastakiya), marvel at the traditional wind-tower houses, and step into the narrow, winding alleyways that hold centuries of local stories. Along the way, you’ll visit the Dubai Museum / Al Fahidi Fort, see the bustling Dubai Creek, and experience the lively Gold, Spice, and Textile Souks, where traders have sold their wares for generations.

This tour is unique because it combines history, culture, and hidden local experiences — from secret photo spots to local cafés and interactive storytelling. Optional experiences include an abra ride across the Creek and tastings of traditional sweets and tea, giving you a full taste of Old Dubai’s charm.

I’ll be your guide, sharing fascinating stories, legends, and fun facts that most visitors never hear. The tour is small and personal, allowing plenty of time for questions, photos, and exploration.

Meeting Point: Look for me at Al Fahidi Metro, Exit 3, holding a red umbrella and wearing a yellow T-shirt. 
This is a tip-based free tour, so you pay what you feel the experience is worth. 
Wear comfortable shoes, bring your camera, and get ready to discover the authentic side of Old Dubai.
