Guidekin's take

A walking take on old Dubai from Al Fahidi: a traditional Emirati house, the Gold Souk and an abra on the Creek, with dates included and the street food, from shawarma to luqaimat, kept for the premium version.

You meet the guide near a Green Line metro station; pickup is a paid add-on. 4.94 from 3,008 reviews at €16 per person for 3h–4h.

In our comparison: #2 of 43 in Old Dubai & Walking Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
