Discover the heart of Old Dubai on a captivating walking tour, where rich heritage, vibrant souks, and creekside views bring the city's past to life.

We begin at Al Seef, where modern meets old-world charm. Pass the Museum of Illusions and stroll along Dubai Creek, vital for early trade. Explore the Al Fahidi Historical Area and visit the Dubai Museum and Coffee Museum, where coffee culture dates back over a thousand years.

Cross the creek by abra to Deira, where we explore the Gold Souk and Spice Souk. End at the Gold Souk Extension, where modern and traditional blend beautifully.

This tour not only takes you through Old Dubai's most iconic spots but also brings its rich history to life with fascinating facts, figures, and untold tales. Whether it’s the architecture, the aroma of spices, or the timeless charm of the abra ride, this is more than just a tour—it’s a storey waiting to be discovered.
