Description
Discover traditional local markets alongside an expert guide who shields you from high-pressure vendor tactics and scams, and who reveals the real value of the products. Before entering each market, we stop to give you practical insider tips on how to bargain, realistic product prices, and the common tricks of salespeople so you completely avoid getting ripped off or having a bad experience.
Best of all, you will have dedicated free time on your own to shop wherever you like in the market with absolutely zero pressure from your guide to buy from specific shops!
Your experience deeply covers the historic Al Fahidi neighborhood, one of the oldest areas ever established in Dubai.
Walk among authentic Arabic houses featuring traditional wind-towers built from natural coral stone. As you wander, your local guide will narrate the fascinating story of Dubai’s evolution from a tiny 1830s fishing and pearl-diving village to oil discovery and the rise of the world’s tallest skyscrapers.
Get all your questions answered about Emirati culture, the local lifestyle, and how different communities live peacefully together.
Enjoy different culinary tastings in different stops including Arabic coffee and dates and different breaks for street food like shawarma, Dubai chocolate, fresh juice, rare camel milk ice cream, water and refreshing hibiscus juice and more.
Your guide will lead you through the Bur Dubai Grand Souk, famous for its vibrant textiles, pashmina shawls, and souvenirs where we would have the street food snacks and time on your own to do shopping before we cruise Dubai Creek.
Enjoy a private traditional abra boat cruise on Dubai Creek to make your experience even better.
We continue to the spices Souk where we explain almost all the products in the display including different medicines, herbs and different spices and of course reveal the real value of the products so you don't get overcharged.
Finally, conclude your journey at the legendary Gold Souk, home to over 200 jewelry stores and spectacular Guinness World Record designs.
