Full description
Sample historic sites and the vibrant cosmopolitan life of Dubai on this tour starting in the popular Jumeirah district. Make a stop at the traditionally recreated Madinat Souk for stunning photos of the iconic Burj Al Arab Hotel then drive onto the man-made Palm Jumeirah island, an incredible architectural marvel for a closer look at another icon, the Atlantis Resort.

Pass the Al Fahidi Fort, the ruling family’s former residence and take an Abra (water taxi) to sail across Dubai Creek. Disembark at the Spice Souk where the fragrances of the orient come together then there is time to shop in one of the most visited sites of Dubai – the Gold Souk.

Faisal was our tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable about the culture and everything Dubai. What a wealth of knowledge! He was on time. The great part about the tour is that my husband and I were the only tourists. There was a photo op at the Dubai Marina and Burj Al Arab. We were able to go to Za’abeel Palace which was not on the list of sites to visit. We then went to Old Dubai and rode on an abra across the creek. We explored the spice souks. You have to be strong because the vendors can be very assertive but, not rude. We didn’t have time to visit the gold souks but, if we really want to visit, we can take the metro. The station is centrally located on the strip. This excursion was, most definitely, worth every penny well spent.

The tour was really nice! 5 stars. The 4 hours countdown started from the palm with a view to Atlantis hotel. We’ve seen new dubai and then passed the creek with an abra to see old Dubai. Really different, but this is what we wanted! A lot of stops, a lot if explanations received. Chamil, the tour guide, was really nice and helpful. Best photo stop for burj khalifa. He handled all tourists gracefully. There is transport from hotel to meeting point included. Be prepared to add extra time to your schedule. There were time/location and seat adjustments. Since i had no internet roaming outside the hotel it was a bit tricky.

Although the Tour started late, it still incorporated the allocated time and we saw all the advertised sites and was given ample free time. The tour guide I found was extremely informative and made it very enjoyable. As first timers in Dubai, I would recommend this tour.
