About This Experience

Discover the authentic heart of Dubai on a guided walking and tasting experience through historic Old Dubai. Begin in the charming Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, where traditional wind-tower houses, narrow lanes and historic courtyards reveal the story of Dubai before its modern transformation.

Enjoy a taste of local flavours, with popular snacks such as samosa, pakora and traditional Arabic tea or karak, depending on availability. Continue towards Dubai Creek and experience a traditional abra ride across the water, just as generations of traders and residents have done.

Explore the vibrant Spice Souk, filled with aromatic spices, herbs and local products, before visiting the famous Gold Souk and discovering Dubai's long-standing gold-trading culture.

This experience combines history, local food, traditional transportation and authentic Old Dubai atmosphere—perfect for travelers who want to see Dubai beyond its modern skyline.
