Experience the charm of Dubai Creek on a traditional abra, leading you to the vibrant textile souk of Bur Dubai. Wind down the evening by savoring a beloved Indian street snack before indulging in an authentic Emirati feast at a waterfront Emirati restaurant that keeps alive local maritime flavors and culinary traditions from the 1960s.
