Overview

Discover the humble beginnings of Dubai on this ultimate private tour! Forget the hassle of navigating crowded groups tours; you'll have the comfort and convenience of a private, air-conditioned vehicle, accompanied by a knowledgeable guide who brings the city’s rich history marvels to life with his insightful commentary. Travel stress-free with convenient pickup and drop-off included. Discover the city before the rise of high skyscrapers. Take a walk through the old town and enjoy the local tradition of crossing the Dubai Creek by an Abra Baot Water Taxi to arrive at the souks to shop and try local tastings like Dates.
