Overview
Dubai is a city that provides a new setting at every turn, offering a rich blend of the old and the new, making it without a doubt the leading tourist destination in the Middle East. Dubai is a city of ages that rises out of the desert and crowns the Gulf Coast with its presence. Your route takes you to the magnificent view of Dubai Creek, passing by the heritage area of Bastakiya, with its fascinating wind-towered houses built by wealthy merchants.
You will then move on to the 225-year-old Al Fahidi Fort, where the Dubai Museum holds precious archives of the city’s past, as well as chronicles of its developing stages. Next you will board an Abra, a traditional boat, to cross the Creek for a visit to the Spice Market and the Gold Souk. Your tour will end with lunch in a local restaurant in the Dubai Mall, with a chance for an hour in Dubai Shopping Mall before heading back to the hotel, or stay in the mall and head back to your hotel in your own time.
