Old Dubai City Tour
Overview
Sometimes, in order to appreciate the new, we must look back to the past. This tour of the more traditional side of Dubai gives you a look into modern Dubai before turning your gaze to the more cultural side of the city from where its roots came. Depart from your hotel to see the world famous Burj Al Arab for a photo opportunity before heading to Jumeirah Mosque, the center of religion in the city. In Bastakyia, you’ll be able to see some of the older forms of households as well as visit the Dubai Museum that showcases valuable artifacts from the past. Now there’s a treat: You get to ride an Abra Taxi! It’s actually a boat that sails down Dubai Creek, ferrying passengers along
