Description

Start your tour of Traditional Dubai with a photo stop in front of the stunning Burj Al Arab hotel, also known as the Tower of the Arabs. This hotel is one of the most luxurious and expensive in the world, standing at a height of 321 meters, and is considered one of the tallest hotel buildings globally and a landmark of Dubai.

Next, take a drive along Jumeirah Road, where you will pass by magnificent villas adorned with beautiful floral decorations, bustling cafes, and upscale seaside shopping malls. It’s no surprise that this coastal district is one of the most sought-after addresses in Dubai. You will then reach the iconic Jumeirah Mosque, a spectacular sight built entirely of white stone in the medieval Fatimid tradition. The mosque boasts two towering minarets framing a large central dome, which is particularly breathtaking when illuminated at dusk, highlighting its delicate and artistic design.

Continue your journey with a visit to Bastakiya, the first district built in Dubai, which still retains 60 old houses and features small alleyways and narrow streets. This area offers a glimpse into life a century ago and allows you to imagine what it was like in the past.

Finally, enjoy a boat trip across Dubai Souks and Creek to reach the city’s spice market. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of this traditional bazaar, surrounded by mountains of aromatic herbs and spices overflowing from large baskets as you stroll through the narrow corridors of Dubai Souks and Creek. From there, visit the Gold Souk, home to over ten tons of gold and 170 gold shops, offering a truly unforgettable experience at Dubai Souks and Creek.
