Semi-Private Half-Day Tour of Old Dubai City
We will begin this tour by taking you to the ancient Arab world of the historical district of Al Fahidi or Bastakia. The name of this district comes from the Bastak region of Iran, here are more than 55 houses built of plaster and coral all restored to their original glory. The main feature of these houses are the air conditioning towers called "barjeel".
Here we will visit the Dubai Museum, located in the Al Fahidi Fort which is the oldest building in the emirate (built in 1787). The museum houses galleries that recreate the old Arab houses, the mosque, the traditional market, the date palm farm, the pearl trade, and the way diving was done to find them...
We will then cross with a traditional Abra - wooden boat, typical taxi of the Dubai Natural Canal - the Dubai Creek. This historic site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dubai Creek is 14.4km long and divides the city into two districts: Bur Dubai and Deira. We will stop in Deira, which was once the commercial center of the emirate, to visit the two main markets: the spice souk and the gold souk.
Dubai's famous markets are probably the most representative emblem of Arabia. Since time immemorial, traders from neighboring countries have travelled by sea to bring their goods here. Gold, perfumes, textiles, spices and so many other things can be found here. You will enjoy free time to visit and shop in the spice market with strong Indian and Persian influences and in the gold market which houses one of the largest collections of gold and jewelry in the world, at excellent prices.
We will then head to the last stop, Dubai's most photographed mosque: the Jumeirah Mosque. This mosque was opened in 1979 and is built entirely of white stone - the color of peace. You can admire its beauty and take pictures of it from the outside.
