Old Dubai is the historic heart of the city, offering a glimpse into its traditional past. Visitors can explore bustling souks, ride Abra boats on Dubai Creek, and experience authentic Emirati culture.

Explore the traditional markets, ride an Abra, and immerse yourself in the authentic culture away from modern skyscrapers.
In their own words: “Welcome to Old Dubai, where history, chaos, and culture collide. Today, I'm taking just £10 into the heart of the Grand Suk, tasting local food in Dra, meeting incredible shopkeepers, and just seeing how much of Dubai's culture you can experience on a tiny budget. If you want to see the real Dubai, this is it.”
