Description

Explore Dubai's traditional and modern sides in a single day on a guided tour with hotel pickup and drop-off. Stay cool throughout the day in an air-conditioned vehicle and enjoy access to the magnificent Burj Khalifa with an entry ticket. After pickup from your hotel, enjoy a quick view of the city’s top attractions including Dubai Creek on a drive. Discover the heritage area of Bastakiya, the oldest standing residential area of Dubai, with its Arabian wind towers. Visit the historical Al-Fahidi neighborhood, dating back to the mid-19th century. See traditional houses built from stone, gypsum, teak, sandalwood, fronds, and palm wood. Discover the alleys, pathways, and public squares that separate the houses, making the district naturally diverse. Go across from Bur Dubai to Deira Dubai by a traditional water taxi, or abra. Then, walk through the spice and gold souks to marvel at the variety of goods on offer. Continue to the Jumeirah Mosque and Burj Al Arab, known for its distinctive silhouette resembling a billowing sail. Enjoy free time to grab tea or coffee at Madinat Jumeirah Souk, an authentic re-creation of an ancient marketplace with a traditional Middle Eastern vibe. Then, head to the crescent-shaped man-made Palm Jumeirah Island. Stop in front of Atlantis The Palm Hotel, the centerpiece of Palm Jumeirah. Experience the unique beauty of Dubai from the Dubai Marina Walk, a palm tree-lined waterfront path. Find lots of restaurants serving a variety of foods in front of the Marina Canal, where boat, yacht, and dhow rides are available. Next, drive along Sheik Zayed Road, lined with skyscrapers. Then it’s time to enter Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world rising to 829 meters. Soak in unparalleled views of the city and the Arabian Gulf from the observation decks on the 124th and 125th floors. Stop at the Dubai Mall to experience the biggest mall in the world. Explore the mall until the evening and watch a dancing fountain synchronized with classical, Arabic, and international music. At the end of the evening, be dropped off back at your hotel.
