⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Cultural Experience in Old Dubai! - This tour was the highlight of our trip! We learned so much about the fascinating history of Dubai and how it evolved from a fishing village to the vibrant city it is today. Walking through the souks was a sensory delight — the spice market was especially memorable with its rich aromas and beautiful displays. The abra ride across the creek was a unique and peaceful way to see the city from the water. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate, which made the whole experience even more special. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to explore the roots of Dubai!

Dubai old town tour. - Mahmoud was a friendly and knowledgeable guide. Full of interesting facts about Dubai history and culture, this tour took in the old town, a creek boat trip and the souks. There were plenty of tasters of coffee, tea and spices. I highly recommend this trip.
