Learn about Dubai’s rich colourful traditions and history on this city tour which allows you to experience both the ancient and modern in this desert paradise.

Despite being one of the most modern cities in the world, Dubai still retains much of its original character that is coloured with the globally renowned creek, ancient sailing dhows and wind towers of the old Arab homes in the Bastakiya District. Visitors are taken to the Al Fahidi Fort Museum, which throw light on Dubai's historical links with trading and pearl diving.

Enjoy pickup in from your centrally located Dubai hotel and relax in your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle on the way to your first Dubai city stop, the striking sail-shaped Burj Al Arab hotel. Located on the sands of Jumeirah Beach, on an artificial island, this luxury hotel is the fourth tallest in the world, at 1,053 feet (321 meters).

Stop for a photo opportunity, then continue with your guide along the shoreline to Jumeirah, one of Dubai's upmarket residential areas. See the winding lanes that lead to hidden courtyards and the mud-brick homes topped by traditional wind towers, designed to catch cooling offshore breezes. Next, visit Al Bastakiya’s old Al Fahidi Fort, home to the Dubai Museum, and take in views of the cannons, turrets and fortified walls. Then cross Dubai's central waterway, Dubai Creek, in a traditional water taxi called an abra – a must-do activity in Dubai!
