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!

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.

Spent a very nice afternoon touring the old part of Dubai with Pri; she was super informative on the background and history, guiding us around to a coffee house for tasting, thru courtyards I would never have found on my own, all the while patiently answering our questions.

She guided us thru the gold, textile, and spice Souks. Pri also helped us barter for a few items which was fun!

Most of all she was amazing with my teenage daughter, age 13, who absolutely did not want to go on this tour at all!! By the end of our few hours my daughter had the biggest smile on her face as she really enjoyed herself!

I would sincerely recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see a bit more from a locals perspective!

Thank you!

Two field trips with this company in one week for us. Year 4s and Year5s about 290 students each day. As teachers of a high standard school we cannot recommend this company enough. Very flexible and professional and really focused on learning and experiential learning for school students in particular.we did the farm visit and old Dubai both were excellent.
