Modern Dubai Landmarks and Old Dubai Heritage

Meeting point: Your Dubai location.

Begin in Dubai Marina, a modern waterfront lined with stunning skyscrapers, luxury yachts, and vibrant energy.

Continue to the Palm Jumeirah Monorail, the most iconic way to travel across Palm Jumeirah. More than just transportation, it is an experiential journey that lets you explore astonishing landmarks along the way.

Stop at Burj Al Arab, one of Dubai's most iconic landmarks - a symbol of luxury, innovation, and architectural brilliance, often referred to as a seven-star hotel. Capture unforgettable photos at this world-famous icon of elegance.

Visit Dubai Mall, the biggest shopping mall in the world, and enjoy views of Burj Khalifa. Tickets are not included. You will also visit Souk Al Bahar, a modern twist on a traditional Middle Eastern marketplace in the heart of the city, combining shopping, entertainment, and dining.

At Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, get acquainted with Dubai's old way of life. Guests will have the opportunity to see buildings with high air towers called barjeel, built with traditional materials such as stone, gypsum, teak, sandalwood, and wood.

Then head to Dubai Creek, the lifeblood of local communities for generations and a favoured site for early settlers. An abra ride here is one of the most affordable and authentic experiences in the city, with riders usually seated on a central wooden bench for the short crossing. Admire spectacular views of old Dubai, including traditional houses, wind towers, and minarets.

End at the Spice Souk, a colourful, aromatic, and sensory experience. Discover new flavours and recipes as you browse a great selection of Arabic spices, along with nuts, oils, and saffron.
