Overview

Dive into the heart of Old Dubai on a captivating 4-hour journey that showcases the city's soul beyond the usual tourist paths.

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 in a historic home from the early 1900s. Our spread will feature a sumptuous rice and lamb pilaf, a hearty vegetable stew, and dumplings sweetened with decadent date molasses.

Join us to experience Old Dubai's must-dos, from spice souks to dinner in Fahidi, in a way that feels like exploring with friends.
