Itinerary

Day 1
Dubai
Airport xfer to Dubai city hotels, with private vehicle, driver, and English speaking guide. To experience the modern and ancient city tour of Dubai, our route takes us to the highest buildings in the Middle East.
After a short break by the Creek we arrive to the oldest part of the city, Bastakia where old wind-towered houses of wealthy merchants are still to be seen. Close by we visit the fascinating Dubai Museum in the Al Fahidi Fort, which has been there almost for two centuries defending the settlers of early days. We continue our tour through material market taking a closer look at the wind-towers on our way to Abras, local water taxis that will take us across the Creek to the area of spice and gold souks. As the final destination of this four hour tour we will walk through the bustling alleys of these souks being amazed by mystical aromas of numerous spices and the breath-taking amount of dazzling jewelry varying from traditional to the latest designs at amazingly affordable prices displayed by almost 200 shops.
This is a group tour.

Dubai is one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and is one of the country's main cities, sometimes called "Dubai City" to distinguish it from the emirate. Famous for its soaring skyline rising from the desert, it is a relatively new, world-class city, that is growing quickly. Famous sights like the Burj Dubai, the world's only six star hotel, and the massive Palms mini-city, and its indoor ski hills - its an exciting city and worth a stopover.
