What You Will See
Old Dubai and Al Fahidi
Your tour starts in historic Dubai, with a drive past the Dubai Museum in the centuries old Al Fahidi Fort, a window into the city’s past as a fishing and trading village. You then pass through the restored Al Seef district, where wind towers and coral stone buildings capture the feel of old Dubai along the Creek.
Spice Souk and Gold Souk
We stop at the lively Spice Souk, where the air carries the scent of cardamom, saffron, and cinnamon, then continue to the world renowned Gold Souk, famous for its window displays and the craftsmanship of Dubai’s jewellers. Both are short stops, with time to browse.
Jumeirah Mosque and Miraj Museum
We drive past the striking Jumeirah Mosque, one of the most photographed landmarks in the city, with its twin minarets and detailed stonework. A short stop at the Miraj Museum offers a closer look at Islamic art and heritage.
Jumeirah Beach and the Palm
Enjoy a stop at Jumeirah Beach, with soft sand, clear Gulf water, and views of the sail shaped Burj Al Arab. We then make a photo stop near the Atlantis hotel on the Palm Jumeirah, one of Dubai’s most famous feats of engineering, before passing the Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Mall on the way back.
