About

The Traditional Dubai Tour is a whistlestop journey through the heritage, culture and classic architecture of Dubai’s old city. For anyone looking to experience the cultural fabric of Dubai on a short and fruitful trip, there’s no better way to do so than on a Traditional Dubai Tour.

This itinerary offers a rich, half-day journey through the customs, traditions and ways of living that continue to thrive in Old Dubai. The old side of the city still has the hum, bustle and cultural foundations that it’s had for many centuries and is as appealing and fascinating as Dubai’s array of modern achievements.
