Dubai Creek, Al Fahidi, and Gold & Spice Souks Tour

At the indicated time, we'll meet in front of the Al Khayma Heritage restaurant to start this tour in which we'll visit Dubai Creek, the old Al Fahidi neighborhood, and the Gold and Spice Souks. You'll love it!

First, we'll enjoy a delicious Arabic tea accompanied by dates—the perfect start to the day! Then, we'll go into the historic district of Al Fahidi to discover the oldest buildings of the city. We'll tell you interesting facts about these buildings and their architecture.

We'll walk through the narrow streets of Al Seef and enter the Coffee Museum. Here, we'll see how this product has played a fundamental role in the development of the city throughout its history.

Afterwards, we'll board a traditional abra to navigate Dubai Creek, an estuary that runs deep into the land and is said to have been the starting point for the construction of the Emirati city.

After a 10-minute abra ride through Dubai, we'll return to the mainland and visit the Spice Souk and the Gold Souk, two ideal places to soak up the aromas and richness of the city.

Finally, we'll end the tour after 3 hours of sightseeing, saying goodbye at the Gold Souk.
