Today our English Speaking Guide takes you for your Dubai city tour.
Dubai, a city where Old meets New, a city with culture, glitz and glamour. A tour of Dubai exposes you to the heartbeat of Modern Arabia.
The tour showcases ‘New Dubai’ with its magnificent landmarks like the Burj Al Arab and Emirates towers. We will drive you past ‘The Palm’ and along the famed Sheikh Zayed road lined with skyscrapers like the Burj Dubai (the world’s tallest tower) and Burj khaleefa – the model for Dubai’s rapid development.
The tour shall take you past sprawling palaces owned by Sheikhs and the Zabeel Palace, where His Royal Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum (The President and Ruler of Dubai) resides.
We then move towards ‘Old Dubai’ with a stop at the Dubai creek and the Dubai Museum for a chance to learn about Dubai’s history. This artistically and traditionally inspired museum is definitely worth stopping for. After the museum, you will cruise on a traditional Abra (Arabian water taxi) to cross from one side of the creek to the other. Upon disembarking you will enter the spice and textile souk and make your way to the famous gold souk. Shop for local items in these colourful and lively bazaars.
As an ‘Add On’, guests can be taken to Heritage Village. Here they can shop for local souvenirs at shops that have been built in a traditional setting of small vendors and merchants.
