Tour description
Discover the roots of the futuristic city on this free walking tour of old Dubai along the Creek. With a local guide you'll wander the restored wind-tower houses of the Al Fahidi historical district, learn Dubai's pearling and trading past at the old Al Fahidi Fort, and browse the textile souk. Cross the Creek on a traditional wooden abra boat to Deira, dive into the glittering Gold Souk and the fragrant Spice Souk, and hear how a desert fishing town became a global metropolis in one generation. Pick up insider tips on shawarma, karak tea and the best bargaining. Free to join — simply tip your guide whatever you feel it was worth at the end.
