Itinerary

Day 1

On this 4 hour tour you will take in the magnificent Burj Al Arab Hotel on the beachfront at Jumeirah and see falcons on sale at the Falcon Centre (seasonal). With the ever-changing skyline of Dubai city as a backdrop, our drive takes us to Bastakia area in the older part of Dubai with its beautifully restored historic windtower houses, many of which are now art galleries and scenic cafes. Nearby is the Al Fahidi Fort, home to the Dubai Museum, showing life as it was for the local people in days gone by.Temperature permitting, we will cross the creek by abra, a local water taxi, and wander into the bustling alleys and pungent streets of the old spice and gold souqs, where hundreds of shops offer the finest gold and beautiful local pearls, and an abundance of market goods ready to be bargained for.With such a mixture of traditional cutlure and modern development Dubai has so much to offer the inquisitive traveller. My City Tour is designed to show the best of what this amazing city has to offer with the added experience, knowledge and perspective of your own personal tour guide who has lived in Dubai for more than 30 years.My tour is by 4-wheel drive vehicle and as such is restricted to groups of no more than 4 passengers.In 2005 I completed the ISO9002 Dubai Tour Guide Award which is a government initiative run by the Department of Tourism & Commerce Marketing. I am now a fully accredited freelance Dubai Tour Guide, working with individuals and tourism companies, giving unique tours with a distinctly personal touch to both the new and historic sights of Dubai.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
