Stroll through the Gold and Spice Souks, lined with shops and stalls selling exquisite gold and spice items. We shall then head towards Al Khayma Heritage House at Al Fahidi Historical District to enjoy the Emirati hospitality and get welcomed with local tea/coffee. Explore the old Emirati lifestyle as we tour the traditional house, learning more of UAE’s journey, starting with the desert from the tents to reaching Mars.

Before concluding the house visit explore the traditional Emirati bedroom with its antiques, observing the architectural expansion of the authentic house from the tent replica at the restaurant to Arish palm front houses finally to the megastructures.

Then move to the last pit stop of the tour: the Dubai Frame. Witness the 150-meter building that replicates the shape of a photo frame. The structure comprises two lofty towers which are connected by a glass bridge. You can view Old Dubai on one side and modern Dubai on the other side of the Frame. After the tour concludes, you will be dropped back to your selected location.
