Full description
The tour will commence when you are picked up from the hotel/selected location by your tour guide. The first pit stop of the tour will be at the Palm Jumeirah, the celebrated man-made island that mimics the shape of a Palm Tree. Make a photo-stop at Atlantis Hotel that stands at the apex of the Island.
From this point, get a peek of the Dubai Marina, an opulent waterfront featuring splendid architecture.
Then move to Souk Madinat Jumeirah and experience the charm of Bedouin Culture and marketplace.
The quaint market recreates the bygone trade culture that existed in Dubai before the modernization. Here, you can catch a glimpse of sumptuous Burj Al Arab in the background.
Then you will be driven to Al Farooq Omar Bin Al Khattab Mosque, popularly known as the Blue Mosque. The mosque’s design which is inspired by the Blue Mosque in Istanbul combines Andalusian and Ottoman architecture. The mosque interiors, which can accommodate 2000 people, are beautified with extravagant chandeliers and wall art. After the mosque visit, you'll be driven to old Dubai to witness the past and progress of this ultra-modern city.
Visit the Dubai Creek and enjoy an Abra Ride (ancient water transport system) to cross the Creek.
Stroll through the Gold and Spice Souks which are lined with shops and stalls selling exquisite gold and spice items.
Then move to the last pit stop of the tour: the Dubai Frame. Witness the 150-meter building that replicates the shape of a photo frame. The building comprises two lofty towers which are connected by a glass bridge. You can view Old Dubai on one side and modern Dubai on the other side of the Frame.
After this, you will be dropped back to your selected location.
