Old Dubai Walking Tour | Abra Ride, Gold Souk & Spice Souk

Step off the tourist trail and into the living, breathing heart of the original Dubai. This private walking experience takes you deep into Al Fahidi Historical District, where centuries-old wind towers rise above narrow coral-stone lanes and the scent of frankincense drifts from open doorways. Cross the glittering waters of Dubai Creek aboard a traditional abra, exactly as merchants and fishermen have done for generations. Wander through the legendary Spice Souk, where mountains of saffron, dried rose petals and aromatic blends fill the air with colour and fragrance. Continue to the world-famous Gold Souk, where over 300 shops display some of the finest jewellery in the world. Along the way, discover hidden stories, local secrets and authentic moments that only a licensed DTCM guide can share. This is the Dubai that existed before the skyscrapers — and it is still very much alive.
