This is an educational tour where you would learn about the history, cultures and customs. We took a morning tour which was on time as promised from 10 -2 PM. We wandered in the gold and spice souks and again learned about various spices and usage in middle eastern cooking. In the gold souk we saw worlds biggest gold ring!. Along the way we went to two museums and took a boat ride Abra crossing from Diera to Bur Dubai. The tour concluded with middle eastern food which was good as well. Above all, the tour guide was great. She took time to explain. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wishes to learn about Dubai beyond its glitz and glamour including to families with children.

Nada was an excellent passionate tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about Dubai and provided a thorough guided experience through Old Dubai. Because of our small group size, we were able to interact on a personal level and share many stories of my country and hers. I highly recommend this experience. This was my third trip through Dubai and I gained a deeper vision into the culture and people of the city of Dubai.
