TRADITIONAL AND MODERN DUBAI,Discovering the past and the future

About this activity

This tour is unique because you will see something different from what Dubai is known for: tall buildings and big malls. This journey will take you back in time to where it all started: the old town of Al Fahidi with its famous wind towers and narrow streets; the famous Dubai creek, where you will see boats crisscrossing; and the spice and gold markets, a traditional market.
