Dubai Walking Tour

Day of Operation: Tuesdays

Experience the nostalgia of old Dubai during a walk through the heritage sites. We start in the old district of Al Bastakiya, with its narrow lanes and tall wind-towers (Barajeels). Continue to the Dubai Museum, located in Al Fahidi Fort and stroll through the Old Souk before crossing the creek by abra (water taxi). From the Spice Souk, we continue our walk to Al Ahmadiya School. Established in 1912, it was the first regular school in Dubai. Our last stop is the Gold Souk where you can practice your bargaining skills.

SAFARIS
Our safaris involve off-road driving through sand dunes as well as off-road tracks in mountain areas. As the drive can be rough in certain given rugged areas we are unable to accept any pregnant women, persons with back or neck problems and/or children below 4 years of age.

SEATING ARRANGEMENTS
Seats are not pre-allocated and therefore arranged on a first come first served basis

DRESS CODE
Lightweight summer clothing is suitable for most of the year, but sweaters or jackets may be needed for the winter months, especially in the evenings. Good quality sunglasses are advised, and photo-chromatic lenses for those who wear spectacles. Hats or some protection for the head are advisable when in direct sunlight. The United Arab Emirates has conservative dress traditions.

Swimwear should be confined to the beach and hotel pools. Men and women should ensure shoulders and knees are covered when in public, especially in souks, shops and villages.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Normal tourist photography is acceptable, but it is considered offensive to photograph Arab women. It is also courteous to ask permission before photographing men. Photographs of government buildings, police or military installations are not allowed.
