Excursion Dubai discovery (tour & airport/hotel transfer) tour at Dubai

Discover the historic and modern landmarks of Dubai during this scenic, half-day sightseeing excursion through the city.

Burj Al Arab and Jumeirah Mosque

Depart the pier for the brief drive to the Burj Al Arab. Upon arrival, a brief exterior photo stop is made at this luxury hotel, which was built on its own man-made island. From here, your panoramic drive takes you to the Jumeirah Mosque, where an exterior photo stop is made to admire this impressive example of Islamic architecture.

World Trade Centre, Palaces and Bastakia

Next, your guide points out the fascinating sites as you drive along Zabeel Road. Pass by the approximately 525-foot-high (about 160-metre-high) World Trade Centre, one of the tallest buildings in the Gulf region, and the palaces of Sheikh Mohammed and Sheikh Rashid. A brief stop is then made at Bastakia, the Old Quarter of the city, where Iranian merchants built houses made of limestone and corals. Here, see the wind towers that served as air-conditioners years ago.

Dubai Museum and Gold Souq

After re-boarding your coach, a visit is made to the Dubai Museum. Located in the 150-year old Fort Fahidi, the museum contains many artefacts from the times of pearl diving and before oil discovery. Proceed to the famous Gold Souq for a brief shopping stop.
