Dubai City Tour
City of Merchants
A fascinating historical excursion, the route of this tour takes you to the magnificent Jumeirah mosque and past modern palaces sprawled along the coast. In Bastakia, you will stop to admire the old wind-tower houses built by wealthy merchants. Close by stands the 150-year-old Al Fahidi Fort. Here, the Dubai Museum records the city’s past as an important pearl diving and trading centre. You continue your journey by Abra – the local water taxi – across Dubai Creek. As you cross, you will see the modern metropolis with its splendid architecture dwarfing the bustling alleys of your next destination, the gold and spice souks.
