A fascinating historical
excursion and orientation
tour of the city. First we
pass the beautiful flamingo
lagoon. Then our route takes
us to Nad Al Sheba - home of
the famous camel & horse
race track. Afterwards you
will have a visit to the new
falcon market, where you can
see these amazing animals
very close. Then we drive
through Jumeirah and all its
popular hotels until we
reach the magnificent
Jumeirah Mosque which shows
the beauty of Islamic
architecture (the mosque can
only be visited on Thursday
and Sunday at 10:00 hrs with
a prior reservation).
We move on to the Bastakiya
area, where we stop for a
while to admire the old
wind-tower houses built by
wealthy merchants. Close by,
stands the 150-year old Al
Fahidi Fort, which now
houses the Dubai Museum.
Here the Dubai Museum
records the city's past as
an important pearl diving
and trading centre. We
continue our journey by Abra
- a local water taxi which
had survived over the
centuries and which will
bring us to the spice and
gold souk. The spice trade
gives the city its special
oriental atmosphere and the
famous gold souk will be a
pleasure for your eyes.
Dubai is a bustling city
with its own individual
charm. So come and join our
tour and you will discover
