Full description

This half-day tour links the Dubai Frame in Zabeel Park with the historic Creek area. You start with entry to the Frame and its glass-floored skybridge, then drive to Bur Dubai for a walk through the older lanes before crossing the Creek by traditional abra.

On the Deira side, your guide leads you through the spice and gold souks and explains how the city grew from a pearl-diving and trading port. Along the way there is a photo stop outside one of Dubai’s tiled mosques. Hotel pickup and drop-off keep the day simple.
