Fantastic tour, knowledgeable guide and great shopping - I had a great time with my guide Abdullah as I joined a group of people from all over the world to learn about the history of Emirates, Dubai, its population, traditions, religion, customs and culture. We visited heritage homes, tasted local street food , embarked on an abra boat across the creek and shopped the souks with great help from our guide in bargaining. This tour is very recommended, especially the evening one, with a cooler breeze and when the souks come alive.

Interesting trip through old Dubai - A very interesting and entertaining trip through old Dubai. Our flight was cancelled due to the storm, but we were able to reschedule our tour on another day without any problems. We got a lot of information about Dubai and its people and there was always something delicious to eat or drink.
