Emirati Heritage Private Tour

Overview

Dubai did not begin in 2005, and this day makes that case properly. A licensed Emirati cultural guide walks your party through the coral-and-gypsum lanes of Al Fahidi, across the creek on a private abra, and into the spice and gold souks of Deira before an unhurried majlis lunch in a restored merchant house. The afternoon closes at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque with a private architectural tour arranged ahead of the public schedule.

Highlights

• Licensed Emirati cultural guide throughout
