Overview

Journey with us on this private two-hour walking tour to explore the city as you have never seen it. We will guide you through the middle east markets, traditional houses, and historic by lanes of the old city. You will go back in time to see what life was like on the sleepy banks of a pearling and fishing village. The tour includes a visit to a Fort, a boat ride across the creek, and visits to the famous textile, spice and gold souks (markets).

Along the way, you will hear the story of the men and women who transformed this regional trading outpost into the global juggernaut that it is today. Elements of Emirati culture will be seen up-close as we explained the nuanced ways that the traditions still thrive.

Far away from the glass skyscrapers of modern Dubai, this tour will introduce you to the real, and fascinating, heart and soul of the town. You simply cannot miss this side of Dubai!

We absolutely loved my walking tour of Old Dubai! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, providing fascinating insights into the city's rich history and culture. From the bustling souks to the stunning architecture, every moment was captivating. The tour was well-paced, allowing us to soak in the sights and sounds of this vibrant area. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the authentic charm of Dubai!

10 stars! Pri was an amazing guide for me and my family (6 adults and 3 kids). I’ve been living in Dubai for 7yrs and still, we learned new things about the Old Dubai. It was very interesting. She’s kind, friendly and patient. We had few requests for souvenirs, and she knows the best spots for shopping and food ;) With no doubt, I will book again with her for any type of tour!

We had a wonderful experience and got to know the old part of Dubai before the construction of all the famous sights. We visited Gold Souk, Textile Souk and Spice Souk. It was dynamic and informative. Our dear guide Pri learned us how life used to be in Dubai and what people did for a living. We really enjoyed ourselves and bought some sweets, spices and jewelry. Thank you very much Pri and I hope to see you again.
