Discover the roots of Dubai on a private heritage tour designed for those who want more than the typical sightseeing experience. Avoid the crowds and travel in comfort with a private, air-conditioned vehicle and a knowledgeable guide who brings the city’s rich past to life through captivating stories and local insights.

Explore the charm of Old Dubai before its transformation into a city of skyscrapers. Stroll through the historic Al Fahidi neighborhood and cross the scenic Dubai Creek aboard a traditional Abra boat taxi, just like the locals. Wander through the vibrant souks, where you can shop for spices, textiles, and gold, and enjoy authentic tastings like fresh dates.

This experience takes you inside Blue Mosque for a guided visit, complete with traditional attire for an immersive cultural encounter.

With a flexible itinerary, and personalized attention throughout, this premium private tour offers a deeper, more meaningful connection to Dubai’s heritage—on your terms.

    Our tour guide Subhan was very professional and spoke perfect English. Since we had taken a similar tour the night before he adjusted our tour to allow us to shop longer in the gold area. We really enjoyed the tour. 😊
