Culture & History in Dubai

Welcome to Dubai, famous for its omnipresent modern skyscrapers yet brimming with history. This audio tour will throw you back to pre-oil times as you walk in the historic Bur Dubai and Deira districts. To begin with, you will get a glimpse of how sheiks of the past would lodge and the early development of the Emirates at the Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum House, his former official residence in Bur Dubai. From there, you will reach the Dubai Grand Mosque of 1500 and climb the tallest minaret in the city to enjoy the stunning views of Dubai from 70 meters above the ground. Don’t miss diving into Dubai’s pearl farming past dating back to 2,500 BC in the emirate’s flagship museum, the Dubai Museum, just across the street. Strolling the Al Fahidi neighborhood, arty and quaint, you will take in the living history of the Arabian peninsula's original houses. To continue the tour in the Deira district, you will cross Dubai Creek by abra, a traditional wooden boat. Nearby the abra station, you will walk the maze of the Gold Souk streets to witness how they make up 25% of the global gold trade in Dubai’s single location. You will also discover an abundance of traditional perfumes and pungent spices at the bustling Perfume and Spice Souks. Finally, you will be invited to learn about the role of women in the development of Dubai at the low-key Women’s Museum. Join the tour and get a complete picture of Dubai with the historic lowrise buildings in the foreground!

If you want to see the best of Dubai in one day and experience its grandeur, beauty, and uniqueness, join this self-guided audio tour that will serve you as a private tour guide. You will start your program with visiting the observation decks on the 124 & 125 levels of Burj Khalifa, an icon of Dubai representing its power, development, and ambitions. The views will seem surreal and otherworldly, one-of-a-kind, and it's worth watching the cityscape from more than 400 meters above the ground. After, you will take a full day walk in Downtown Dubai. You will see some famous attractions like the Dubai Fountain, the Dubai Mall, and Souk Al Bahar. This part is the unofficial heart of the city, as it is well-connected to both Old and New Dubai. Before you get immersed in Old one, you will visit Business Bay, a business hub with a futuristic skyline and commercial spirit. From there, you will take a metro (it's easy!) to the area considered a heritage as it is the oldest area in the city. You will walk the streets of Al Shindagha and Al Fahidi historical districts by Dubai Creek and be surrounded by traditional architecture, a variety of Arabic street arts, and the atmosphere of the 19th century. After Old Dubai, you will travel to New Dubai with its famous Dubai Marina, a luxury and posh area that has it all — shopping, restaurants, beaches, residences, and entertainment. Take a stroll around this world-class neighborhood and end your day together with the cozy sunset.
