- Bastakia Quarter - Dubai is renowned as one of the most modern cities globally, yet it also offers a glimpse into its past before becoming a tourist hotspot. Situated along Dubai Creek, the historic Al Fahidi Neighborhood allows visitors to experience the traditional lifestyle that was prevalent in Dubai from the mid-nineteenth century to the 1970s. The tour starts with a visit to the historical district of Al Fahidi, also known as Al Bastakia. There will be several stops to discuss the history, culture, traditions, and lifestyle of Old Dubai’s residents.
- Bur Dubai Abra Station - We will board a small boat (known as Abra) to cross Dubai’s famous creek, heading to the old markets (Spice & Gold).
- Coins Museum - Temporarily Closed for Renovation Right after the traditional house, we will pass by the wall of Old Dubai on our way to the coin museum, where you can see ancient coins of Arabia and Dubai, followed by a stop in front of a mosque to learn more about Islam.
- Textile Souk - A short walk through the aisles of Dubai’s textile markets leads to the Abra (Boat).
- Dubai Spice Souk - The Spice Souk is located in Deira, the commercial and cultural hub, and one of the oldest parts of Dubai. The souk is famous for its narrow alleyways and shops filled with a vast array of spices from around the world. The Spice Souk is a stunning blend of vibrant colors and aromas that attracts many visitors.
- Dubai Gold Souk - During your visit to Dubai, don’t miss the Deira Gold Souk. Tiny stores in narrow streets are filled with mostly Arabic and Indian style gold jewelry, featuring traditional styles and incredible designs.

An enjoyable experience - Visiting the old part of Dubai and going into one of the original houses and being served Arabian coffee in a wee cup.
The Abra ride across the Creek was very good and the guide was very informative about Dubai and UAE

Very worthwhile tour. Highly recommend - What incredible knowledge our tour guide had. She was friendly, showed us an incredible amount of things and places and was helpful right to the end. Absolutely worthwhile. We were extremely fortunate to have the guide just for the two of us but even if you were with others the groups are a max of 15 unlike some other groups we saw.

Really informative and great fun - Rehab was excellent! We ended up having a private tour with Rehab, our guide and her knowledge and insight was amazing. She gave us loads of information and even shared some of the local cuisine with us to really immerse us into all things Dubai. Couldn’t have asked for a better trip! Thank you so much Rehab. Felt like we were with a friend not a guide! 🤩

Mo is a great guide. An experience we strongly recommend - We are very happy with the tour we had this morning. Our guide Mo did a great job, answering all our questions and explaining history and culture. Thank you also for bargaining on our behalf in order to get a good price at the souks. We recommend!

Tour of old town Dubai - This tour was planned by the cruise we were on. It was hot, wear good walking shoes, sunscreen, wide brim hat. The tour included a boat ride across the river, walk around historic areas, souk and snack at river home. I find the spice and gold markets to be most interesting.
