Our fascinating excursion through the city of Dubai, also referred to as the City of Gold, where we will explore a contrast between the past and present. The journey begins at the magnificent Jumeirah mosque and continues along the Jumeira beach road, which is the most luxurious urban area in Dubai. We pass in front of the Mercato themed shopping mall and stop for photographs at the Burj Al Arab (Arab Tower) hotel. We continue towards the Nad Al Sheeba camel and horse race tracks, where we can see camels coming and going on their training. We then head along the skyscraper area of Sheikh Zayed Road, also referred to as little Manhattan, where we pass by the Emirates Towers and Dubai World Trade Center. Now heading along the Zabeel road, we pass by the palace of Sheikh Mohammed, as well as the Sheikh Rashid palace, which unfortunately we are not allowed to photograph. We now head towards the Dubai creek, where we will stop for photographs of the creek side. We pass by the Al Bastakiya’s old-wind tower houses, which were built by the wealthy merchants of the past. Our next stop takes us to the historical Al Fahidi Fort, which has been converted into the Dubai Museum. The Museum is the 200 year-old restored Palace of Sheikh Saeed, which has important records of pearl diving and trading activities that went on. The tour takes us to the Abra station, where we will take an Abra (water ferry) to cross to the opposite side of the creek, as was done in the not so distant past. We then set out on foot as we navigate through the bustling alleys towards the spice and gold souks (markets) as you see insight of Dubai’s growth as a major trading center. A visit to the spice souq and gold souq gives you an insight into Dubai's growth as a major trading centre. The last leg of the trip takes you to have a glimpse of Deira City Centre (the largest shopping mall in UAE), Emirates Training College, Aviation College, Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club and Wonderland. Dubai is a bustling city with its own individual charm. So come and join our tour and you will discover more of the hidden secrets of this town.
