Discover the Dubai that existed before the towers: the wind-tower lanes of Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, the sensory overload of the Spice Souk, and the glittering Gold Souk — crossed the traditional way, by abra (water taxi) over Dubai Creek.
Your licensed Emirati guide weaves history, culture and food into one morning. You will taste six local specialities — fresh Emirati kleija, camel-milk chocolate, luqaimat with date syrup, karak chai and more — and end with a museum visit and plenty of time for questions (and photos). Small groups only, maximum 12 guests.
Select from upcoming dates — each departure has its own availability and pricing.
