Guided heritage trolley tour of old Dubai cultural landmarks

Experience Dubai's cultural heritage on a guided trolley tour led by Emirati storytellers. You'll journey through Old Dubai's iconic landmarks, including Al Fahidi Fort (Dubai Museum), Abra (Dubai creek), Al Seef, Jumeirah Mosque (15 minutes external tour), and the Etihad Museum (Union House) - trolley stops at each location for 5 minutes. The tour offers a unique glimpse into Dubai's transformation from a pearl-diving village to a modern metropolis.

Your adventure begins with a traditional Emirati welcome, complete with Arabic coffee and dates. As you travel through narrow alleys and historical sites, you'll gain insight into local life, architecture, and hospitality. Highlights include exploring the wind-tower houses of Al Fahidi Historical District, seeing traditional dhows at Dubai Creek, and wandering through the aromatic Gold and Spice Souks.

The tour culminates at the Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Centre for Cultural Understanding, where you'll enjoy a traditional Emirati lunch and an open Q&A session. You may also meet camels and a falcon (available from October to June). This experience offers a comprehensive look at Dubai's past and present, providing a deeper understanding of the city's cultural tapestry.
