Although a relatively new city, Dubai enjoys a rich heritage with a history that goes as far back as the Bronze Age. Take this journey with us back in time and explore the roots of this country. Visiting Bastakiya and its narrow lanes is an experience you will never forget. A ride on a lovely little abra will transport you to the busy market area with the famous Gold and Spice Souks. From here, you will move on to see Jumeirah Mosque, to admire the 8th-century Islamic architecture.

We had an amazing experience exploring old Dubai with our guide, Ahmed Magdy! He was knowledgeable and friendly, making our visit to the Gold Souk and water taxi ride truly memorable. The stop at Burj Al Arab was breathtaking, and the beautiful mosque added a serene touch to our day. Ahmed’s guidance made this tour unforgettable! Also many thanks to our driver who made the journey nice and smooth.

As a previous review say, you buy mostly with the eyes. Vendors are relentless, does not stop after the words "no thanks" It is just the way it is. Gold to me looked too shiny to be real, but according to various websites, it is real gold. I'm still not convinced. Trip with water taxi was cheap and quick. The wait in the que can get a bit long. all and all a great day out.

Make sure you have 1 dinar for the driver. You can also buy your ticket from the courter. It is the easiest way to get around from one souk to another souk. I enjoyed the ride. It was quite hot waiting, so make sure slap on your sun screen.
