This is a private half-day Dubai city tour with your own guide and vehicle.
- It costs AED 750 per vehicle for up to 6.
- Stops: the Blue Mosque (Al Farooq Omar Bin Al Khattab Mosque), the old souks, an abra ride across the Creek, and the Al Shindagha Museum. Because it's private, you can swap any stop for something else.
- About 6 hours with hotel pickup.
Who it's for: first-time visitors who want Old Dubai explained, not just photographed. Families who don't want to share a bus.
What guests remember most: the story. Our guides explain how Dubai grew in a few decades from a town that lived on fishing and trade into the city you see today. Most guests also name the Al Shindagha Museum as a highlight. If there's time, our guides sometimes treat guests to a shawarma on the way. It's not guaranteed, just a little extra.
