Great Way to See the Real Dubai! - Loved this tour! It was the perfect mix of culture, history, and shopping. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and the abra ride across the creek was a highlight. The Spice and Gold Souks were full of colour, smells, and energy — a true taste of old Dubai. Be ready to haggle a bit, but that’s part of the fun! Highly recommend for anyone who wants to see the traditional side of the city.

Markets of Old Dubai - Really enjoyed this informative and entertaining walking tour. Our guide (Muhammad ) was very entertaining and knowledgeable. Despite the Dubai heat, he included shaded stops and gave us water. The historical parts were fascinating, and the tips on spices, coffee, and shopping in the souks were super helpful. Great value for money.

Dubai Shopping & Cultural Tour - I have booked Dubai shopping tour with tour guide Mr. Muhammad Mukhtiar. We really enjoyed this tour. Mr. Mukhtiar was very knowledgeable & experienced tour guide.
We have visited Gold, Spice & Old Souk. Our tour guide has given us historical back ground of each place we visited during the tour.
Mr. Mukhtiar also helped us in negotiating the prices during our shopping.
The vehicle was clean & drinking water was available inside the vehicle.
I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants an mix of cultural & shopping tour.
