A walking tour of Old Dubai offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's history and culture. These tours typically explore the Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood, souks (markets), and involve a traditional abra (water taxi) ride across Dubai Creek. You'll encounter historical buildings, learn about Emirati traditions, and experience the vibrant atmosphere of the spice, gold, and textile souks.
Old Dubai tours are often walking tours, especially within the historical neighborhoods and souks. Wear comfortable walking shoes. While Dubai is generally modern, it's respectful to dress modestly in Old Dubai, especially when visiting cultural sites or mosques.
In the souks, especially the Gold and Spice Souks, bargaining is expected and part of the experience .A knowledgeable local guide can significantly enhance your experience by providing historical context, cultural insights, and tips for navigating the souks.
