Discover Old Meets New: Start Your Dubai City Tour at the Historic Dubai Creek Your half-day Dubai city tour begins at the heart of the city's heritage — the historic Dubai Creek, a natural seawater inlet that has served as the lifeline of Dubai for centuries. This iconic waterway is where the story of Dubai began, long before the skyscrapers and mega malls, when it was still a small fishing and pearl-diving village. As you drive or stroll along the creek, you'll get a chance to admire the traditional wooden dhows, which are still used today for trade with neighboring Gulf countries. These charming boats offer a glimpse into Dubai’s maritime and trading history, providing a striking contrast to the modern city skyline in the background.

Just steps away from the creek, you'll explore the bustling lanes of the Gold Souk and Spice Souk — two of Dubai’s most famous traditional markets. In the Gold Souk, marvel at the dazzling displays of intricate gold jewelry and precious metals, a must-see for any visitor.
