Discover both old and modern Dubai with stops at Burj Al Arab, Jumeirah Mosque, Bastakiya, and the famous Spice & Gold Souks.
This is a glimpse into the modern and old parts of Dubai. Begin the tour at the Burj Al Arab to take some photos of the only 7-star hotel. Then, we'll pass by the Jumeirah Mosque. We'll then visit the Bastakia area with its old merchants' houses, galleries, restaurants, and cafes, giving us a glimpse into Dubai life in the days before oil. We'll then board an Abra (river taxi) for a glimpse of the other side of the bay. We'll continue to the exotic and aromatic Spice Souk and the world-famous gold bazaars.
