UAE · DHOW CRUISES

“I am very happy we did this bus tour. We choose to do the red (historical) route. It is an excellent way to learn (with the provided audio) more about Dubai and its famous buildings. We planned a bit in advance and knew which spots we really wanted to visit. The highlights were definitely Al Seef (where you'll find many nice shops in a wonderful setting), Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood, Gold & Spice Souk and the Al Shindagha Museum. Take your time to visit this latter museum, as there are 22 pavillions in total! But it is really worthwile. Dubai museum is still closed, so no need to get off…”
