Walking Tour in Old Dubai

Points forts

Inclus

Itinéraire

1. Discover what life in Old Dubai was like during the mid-19th century at Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood. Located along the Dubai Creek, this district is a key heritage site with much of the original infrastructure preserved and intact. The traditional wind towers – constructed from sandstone, teak, gypsum, palm wood and sandalwood – represent only a small part of Al Fahidi’s history. Each alley, twisting pathway and breezy tower tells a story of a life before the seven emirates.

2. Al Seef is the perfect destination for a pleasant stroll, with a waterfront promenade dotted with boutique stores, art galleries, food outlets, and open-air markets. Splurge on a range of Emirati handicrafts, and bespoke fragrances, all the while discovering hidden gems around every corner. Don’t forget to stop by the Museum of Illusions to snap photos with your loved ones amid mind-bending optical illusions.

3. The bustling Dubai Creek has been the lifeblood of locals for generations. It was the favoured site for early settlers, becoming the city’s first port and home to a thriving pearling industry. Today, it is still a lively spot, continuing to attract visitors year-round. you can hop aboard one of the many traditional ferry boats, known as abras, to cross the creek that separates the Bur Dubai and Deira neighbourhoods. The journey is one of the most affordable and authentic experiences in the city. An abra, which means “to cross” in Arabic, runs every few minutes throughout the day between four stations along Dubai Creek. The first route goes from Deira Old Souk Abra Station (near the Spice Souk) to Bur Dubai Abra Station (west of the Textile Souk). The second, much busier route, runs continuously from Al Sabkha Abra Station (just southwest of Baniyas Square) to Dubai Old Souk Abra Station.

4. Home to more than 150 small retailers, the Spice Souk is evocative of Dubai's rich trade and influence. There is more to this place than just shopping. Nestled within these streets is a culinary history infused with the true spirit of Arabia. Watch the stocks pile up every morning, freshly shipped in from India, Pakistan and Iran. Or taste the best varieties of crunchy nuts and dried fruits, guided by local sellers passionately explaining the richness of their offerings.

Whether you’re just browsing, or genuinely on the hunt for even the smallest amount of precious gold, walk through the glittering bazaar to find designs from around the world crafted with a variety of carats.

About Dubaï

Dubaï surgit entre désert et Golfe : tours vertigineuses, immenses centres commerciaux, plages et anciens quartiers marchands le long de la crique.

Le Burj Khalifa, construit pour être le plus haut bâtiment du monde, s'élance au-dessus de Downtown, où la fontaine de Dubaï danse sur un lac à ses pieds et où le Dubai Mall s'étend à côté. Le long de la côte, le Burj Al Arab en forme de voile, l'île en forme de palmier de Palm Jumeirah et les tours de Dubai Marina dessinent un horizon érigé à l'échelle d'une vie.
