Half Day Dubai City Tour

Dubai Creek - Dubai Creek divides the city into two areas, with Deira to the north and Bur Dubai to the south. The creek has played a crucial role in the city’s development, initially attracting settlers for fishing and pearl diving. Small communities emerged along the creek as far back as 4,000 years ago, while the modern era began in the 1830s when the Bani Yas tribe settled in the area.

On the Bur Dubai side of the creek, adjacent to the Bastakia neighborhood, the waterfront has been revitalized as the Al Seef district, featuring a waterfront promenade lined with traditional coral-block and limestone buildings, a floating market, and shops selling crafts. It’s an excellent spot for a stroll with great water views.

Deira Old Souk Abra Station - Deira is located on the northern bank of Dubai Creek, and its winding streets reveal a melting pot of different nationalities that have made Dubai their home. On the shore, ancient dhows load and unload with modern banks, hotels, and office buildings as a backdrop.

For visitors, Deira is best known for its traditional souks (markets), which are bustling with shoppers at all times of the day. Deira Gold Souk is world-famous as the largest gold bazaar in the world. The Deira Spice Souk offers every imaginable spice, with stalls overflowing with bags of frankincense, cumin, paprika, saffron, sumac, and thyme, as well as fragrant oud wood, rose water, and incense. The fish market provides a much less touristy experience.

Sheikh Saeed al-Maktoum’s House - Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum was the Ruler of Dubai from 1921 to 1958 and grandfather to the current ruler. His former residence has been rebuilt and restored as a museum that is a fine example of Arabian architecture.
Inside are exhibits from the Dubai Museum of Historical Photographs and Documents, featuring many wonderful old photographs of Dubai from the period between 1948 and 1953. The marine wing of the museum has photos of fishing, pearling, and boat building. Throughout the building, there are many letters, maps, coins, and stamps on display showing the development of the Emirate.

Nearby is the Sheikh Obaid bin Thani House, restored with displays of traditional interiors.

The Dubai Heritage Village - Dubai’s architectural, cultural, and maritime heritage is showcased at the Heritage and Diving Village, with displays related to pearl diving and dhow building — two of old Dubai’s historic economic mainstays. There are also recreations of traditional Bedouin and coastal village life, with Persian homes, a traditional coffeehouse, and a small souk where potters and weavers practice their crafts at the stalls. Local music and dance are performed from October to April, and visitors can get advice from practitioners of traditional medicine.

Jumeirah Mosque - Jumeirah Mosque is considered by many to be the most beautiful of Dubai’s mosques. An exact copy of Cairo’s Al-Azhar Mosque, which is eight times its size, the Jumeirah Mosque is a fine example of Islamic architecture. This stone structure is built in the medieval Fatimid tradition, with two minarets that display the subtle details in the stonework. It is particularly attractive in the evening when lit with floodlights.

The Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Centre for Cultural Understanding (which also runs a program of tours, lectures, Arabic classes, and cultural meals) organizes guided tours of the mosque designed to foster a better understanding of the Muslim faith. Tours begin at 10am daily, except Fridays.

Jumeirah Public Beach - This stretch of sandy white bliss is the top beach destination for Dubai visitors. Hotels are strung out all along its length, making it one of the most popular places to stay for tourists. The beach has excellent facilities, with plenty of sun loungers, restaurants, and water sports operators offering jet skiing.

While in the area, take a break from the sand for an hour and visit the Majlis Ghorfat Um Al-Sheef, just a short distance from the beach. Built in 1955, this was the summer residence of the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed al-Maktoum. The residence, made out of gypsum and coral-block, has been restored and maintains much of the original beautiful decor, giving you a better understanding of the opulent lifestyle of Dubai’s rulers. The Majlis Gardens feature a reproduction of an impressive Arab irrigation system and many shady date palms.

Burj Al Arab - The Burj Al-Arab is the world’s tallest hotel, standing 321 meters high on its own artificial island on the Dubai coastline. Designed to resemble a billowing dhow sail, the exterior of the building is lit up by a choreographed, colored lighting show at night. Decadent in every way possible, the Burj Al-Arab is one of the most expensive hotels in the world, with the most luxurious suites costing more than $15,000 for one night.

United Arab Emirates - Dubai’s landmark building is the Burj Khalifa, which at 829.8 meters is the tallest building in the world and the most famous of the city’s points of interest. For most visitors, a trip to the observation deck on the 124th floor here is a must-do while in the city. The views across the city skyline from this bird’s-eye perspective are simply staggering. The slick observation deck experience includes a multimedia presentation on both Dubai and the building of the Burj Khalifa (completed in 2010) before a high-speed elevator whisks you up to the observation deck for those 360-degree views out across the skyscrapers to the desert on one side and the ocean on the other.

Burj Khalifa Entry Ticket is not included in the tour price. It can be requested at additional charges.

The Dubai Mall - Dubai Mall is the city’s premier mall and provides entry to the Burj Khalifa, as well as the Dubai Aquarium. There is also an ice-skating rink, gaming zone, and cinema complex if you’re looking for more entertainment options. The shopping and dining options are endless, and there are nearly always special events such as live music and fashion shows within the mall. The most famous of these are the annual Dubai Shopping Festival in January and February and the Dubai Summer Surprises Festival in July and August.

Sheikh Zayed Road - Sheikh Zayed Road is the main thoroughfare running through Dubai’s modern downtown business district. This wide, eight-lane highway is lined with towering glass, chrome, and steel high-rises along its entire length. It’s one of the best on-the-ground vantage points for Dubai’s famed skyscraper views.

Main attractions are along, or just off, the strip between the roundabout and the first intersection, and most of Dubai’s famous malls are located along the road’s route. The Dubai World Trade Tower has an observation deck on its top floor, which offers visitors panoramic views (a cheaper option than the Burj Khalifa), and the Gold and Diamond Park (Sheikh Zayed Road) is a one-stop shop for jewelry lovers, with 118 manufacturers and 30 retailers all under one roof.

Dubai Frame - Situated right between Dubai’s older neighborhoods clustered around the creek and the city’s modern sprawl, this enormous 150-meter-high picture frame is one of Dubai’s latest attractions. Inside, a series of galleries take you through the city’s history and explore Emirati heritage before you travel up to the Sky Deck, where there are fantastic panoramas of both old and new Dubai to be captured on the viewing platforms.

Afterwards, check out the Future Dubai gallery, which imagines what a futuristic vision of the city will look like.
