MARVELLOUS DUBAI
Tour duration 4 hours
Tour starts at 14:00
Sometimes, and for good reason, referred to as the Paris of the Arabian Gulf, Dubai is elegant, cultured and magnificent. At the same time, it is also a typically oriental city with a noisy bustling “souk” (market), traditional barges, “abras”, which dart across Dubai Creek and multicultural, multilingual crowds of locals and tourists thronging the streets.
Join us in this short but dazzling tour of the highlights of the city plus those places which the tourists seldom get to see. Immerse yourself in this astonishing world where tradition and constant change live side by side. Capture on film, and in your memory, the grandeur of towering skyscrapers, the majesty of the Sheikh’s Palace, the grace of pink flamingoes and the serenity of “dhows” (Arabic wooden sailing boats) bobbing in the Creek.
We’ll journey into the past of Dubai in the historic Al Fahidi Fort, cross the Creek in an “abra”, breathe in the aromatic scents of eastern spices and marvel at the vast array of gold and jewellery in the Old Deira Gold Souk. By the end of tour you’ll understand why people return again and again to this exciting city. |
