Old and Modern Dubai City Sightseeing

  • Pick up from your hotel or selected location and begin your ride to Dubai Creek, the old part of the city that is deeply rooted in history.

  • Enjoy a photo stop at the Creek, then drive through Al Bastakiyah, the oldest district in the city, with your Dubai tour guide. Known as the first free zone in the world, this area is famous for its cooling towers and narrow, winding lanes.

  • Continue to Al Fahidi Fort, regarded as the oldest building still in working condition. The fort now houses the Dubai Museum, in addition to an old mosque and the former ruler's court.

  • After visiting the museum, take a ride on one of the city's earliest modes of transportation - the Abra water boat.

  • End your tour of old Dubai with a quick visit to the Spice Souk, where shops are filled with sacks of various herbs and spices, and the Gold Souk, the largest gold bazaar in the world.

  • Continue to be mesmerised as the glitzy side of Dubai unfolds before you while driving along Jumeirah Road.

  • Take a photo stop at the charming Jumeirah Mosque.

  • Pause for another photo stop at Burj Al Arab Hotel, the tallest of its kind, set atop a human-made island.

  • Continue to Palm Jumeirah, the artificial island shaped like a palm tree. Be captivated by the island's views and by Atlantis Hotel, which stands like an archway on the island.

  • Feel the pulse of Dubai as you drive down Sheikh Zayed Road, home to most of the city's modern skyscrapers.

  • Double your delight with the world's tallest tower - Burj Khalifa. A photo stop with the backdrop of this marvellous structure will be one of the most cherished things to do in Dubai for tourists and residents alike.

  • After completing the Dubai sightseeing tour, you will be taken back to your selected location or hotel.
