Explore Half Day Dubai Traditional City Tour

Explore Dubai’s past and experience the essence of the city with our Half Day Dubai Traditional City Tour. Dubai is a city that has well combined its historical background with the contemporary image. Starting from a small pearl diving station on the bank of Dubai Creek, the city has grown into the world’s leading financial and business hub where the spirit of the desert merges with the technologies of the future. Visit the Al Fahidi district it is the oldest neighborhood in Dubai and the home to the Al Fahidi Fort which houses the Dubai Museum. When you walk along the narrow streets of Deira and shop at the Dubai Spice Souk and the Gold Souk it is the rich feels and the brilliant sights and colors of Dubai will embrace you.

On the other hand, Al Seef provides exceptional view of Dubai’s transformation, as it represents both the historic and the modern aspects of the city. Stretching along Located 8 km away from the Dubai Creek, this district reflects the city’s history of pearl diving and diversifies it with modern architectural features. Here you can watch the calm movement of the boats crossing the creek which is as a tribute to the seafaring traditions that are still very much alive in Dubai. Take a cultural tour on foot to get the best feel of the past and the present about Dubai.

Experience Old Dubai on a Half-Day Guided Tour

The lifestyle of the people in Dubai has shifted remarkably. The city was once a small fishing hub, and the people were relying on natural resources to provide for their basic needs through pearl diving and agriculture. The palm trees were an integral part, with dates being the source of food, and the leaves were used to make homes. Dubai’s transition from a fishing village to a metropolis is “surreal,” for the stories may sound like a fairytale. Your day will start by exploring the Al Bastakiya Area; some of the old Dubai is still visible in these areas. Visit the Dubai Museum at Al-Fahidi Fort. The museum is one of the most popular attractions in the city. It provides a unique glimpse into the bygone era of Dubai.
