Dubai Museum & Al Fahidi Fort
The entrance of the museum is our meeting point at 5 pm . The museum is inside Al Fahidi Fort in Bur Dubai in the heart of “old” Dubai. Every taxi driver knows it and it is only 5 – 7 minutes walk from the nearest Metro station, Al Fahidi station. It is a small but very informative museum and if you wish to go inside, you should arrive an hour earlier to experience it. The entry fee is only AED 3 per person. At the moment the museum is closed until further notice due to the corona pandemic. All other stops on our tour are not affected by the current situation. Your guide is looking forward to meeting you at 5 pm in front of the Main Entrance of Dubai Museum (Al Fahidi Fort).
Textile Souk
First we walk through the Indian market. India is the most important trading partner of the region. Long before oil, the pearls found on the sandbanks in the Persian Gulf were the most important source of income of the region and there was a high demand for those pearls in India. So already centuries ago, pearls were exported to India and many goods were imported from India, such as textiles, building materials, food and spices. Since then Indian cuisine has a strong influence in what people eat in Dubai. On our way through Souq Al Khabeer, today the textile market, we will have our first Indian snack and there is time to explore the shops if you wish.

We had a wonderful tour with Ute in January! We were in town for a company event, but a few coworkers and I wanted to see all the best sites during our few free hours. Ute customized a tour for us and was incredibly flexible with the type of car we needed, etc. We stopped for pictures at all the important spots; she knew the vendors who would give us the best prices for gifts and organized a perfect route for us, including picking us up at our hotel. She answered all our questions about history, culture, and anything related to the Emirates. I highly recommend a tour with Ute!

The guide was very knowledgeable and personable. She was able to give great insights into old Dubai and create a personalized experience. The food experience was also fantastic. I can recommend this tour to anyone.

From start to finish, Annette did a fantastic job informing my husband and I of the city’s rich history and culture. Looking forward to doing the tour again on our next visit!

This tour was fantastic. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, and the small size of the tour made it feel very personal. The food was all delicious, and we really enjoyed our trip. If you want to see something more of Dubai than the malls and skyscrapers, check this tour out. It felt much more authentic than anything else we did on our trip.
