What does the experience involve?
Dubai’s historic beginnings tell a story like no other and this tour dives right into it. You’ll trace the city’s transformation from humble trading port to cultural crossroads, starting at a museum that unpacks its journey from desert to global destination. From there, you’ll explore the scent-swirled Spice Souk, gold-lined markets, and the iconic Dubai Creek via a breezy abra ride. The charming Al Fahidi neighbourhood comes next, with its towering wind towers and timeless tales. You’ll sip Arabic coffee, swap stories, and close the experience with a local meal that captures the essence of Dubai’s soul: warm, diverse, and unforgettable.

Meet your host, Nada.
Nada is a licensed UAE guide, an MBA-holder, and a cultural storyteller with over 30 years of local experience. After a career in corporate consulting, she traded strategy decks for souk alleys, and now leads small groups through Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. Her aim is to uncover the fascinating tales that the modern skyline often conceals.
During the day, Nada is a walking encyclopaedia of local knowledge, and by night, she's likely pondering the social acceptability of a second slice of knafeh (spoiler: it absolutely is). Her ultimate goal is to help visitors collect souk-scented memories that will linger long after they've returned home.
