Highlights
  • Dubai Frame - Step into the future while diving deep into the past at the Dubai Frame. Towering at an impressive 150 meters, the Dubai Frame isn’t just another landmark; it’s an architectural marvel that offers travelers a unique blend of Dubai’s past, present, and future in one immersive experience.
    Prepare to be whisked up in state-of-the-art elevators to the top of the frame, where the city of Dubai unfolds before your eyes. From this vantage point, you’ll see the city’s evolution
  • Jumeirah Mosque - A true embodiment of Islamic architecture, the Jumeirah Mosque stands as a beacon of Dubai’s rich cultural tapestry. Unlike many of the city’s closed-door religious sites, Jumeirah Mosque warmly welcomes visitors of all beliefs.

Architectural Marvel: Crafted from pristine white stone, its intricate artistry and towering minarets against the azure sky make it one of Dubai’s most photographed sites.

Cultural Immersion: Participate in one of the mosque’s guided tours, where you can dive deep into the customs, rituals, and traditions of the UAE’s dominant faith.

  • Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood - Journey back in time as you stroll through the narrow lanes of Al Fahidi Historical District, formerly known as the Bastakiya Quarter. This preserved segment of old Dubai offers a stark contrast to the city’s modern facades.

Historical Glimpse: Meander through its winding alleyways, flanked by wind-towered buildings, which once served as the homes of wealthy Persian merchants.

Cultural Centers: Engage with local artists at the various art galleries, or delve into Dubai’s history at the Dubai Museum, situated within the district’s ancient fort.

  • Bur Dubai Abra Station - Traditional Abra Ride:

Experience Dubai as the traders once did, aboard a traditional wooden boat known as an “abra”.

Waterway Wonders: As you glide across the historic Dubai Creek, feel the juxtaposition of the old and new worlds: dhow boats transporting goods juxtaposed against the skyline of modern Dubai.

Authentic Experience: It’s not just a ride, it’s an immersion into the city’s maritime heritage, offering both tranquility and a unique vantage point of Dubai.

  • Dubai Spice Souk - Awaken your senses in the bustling lanes of the Spice Souk. The air is thick with the fragrant aromas of cardamom, saffron, and countless other exotic spices.

A Feast for the Senses: Every turn invites a new discovery, from barrels of dried lemons and rose petals to jars of local saffron.

Local Interaction: Engage with friendly vendors, learn about the uses of various spices, and perhaps even haggle for the best prices!

  • Dubai Gold Souk - Step into a world that glitters. Dubai’s renowned Gold Souk is a testament to the city’s moniker, “City of Gold”.

Dazzling Displays: With over 300 retailers, witness window displays dripping in gold, from intricate necklaces to lavish bridal sets.

Craftsmanship: Marvel at the skill of local artisans as they craft bespoke jewelry pieces, melding traditional and modern designs.

Shopping Extravaganza: Whether you’re on the hunt for a precious keepsake or simply window shopping, the sheer opulence of the Gold Souk promises to leave you in awe.

Great private tour with Ibrar - This is a great tour if you also want to explore the more traditional side of Dubai. We enjoyed walking around the bazar and shopping for some local spices and dates. The frame is also a must-see attraction. It’s not “just” a frame to take photos, but a museum, giving a glimpse of Dubai’s past but also how the future will look like. Our tour guide, Ibrar, was very nice and he gave us important information along the way, making sure our experience was memorable. We recommend this tour and Ibrar!
