Half
day Dubai Ciy Tour
This half day tour through the modern and progressive city of
Dubai (also known as City of Gold) is really an interesting
one. Dubai still retains much of its original character with
the over crowded creek with the ancient dhows and the wind-
towers of the old houses in the Bastakiya District. The Dubai
creekside is a contrast of old and new. The tour starts from
the elegant Jumeirah Mosque, which is a landmark of Dubai followed
by the Jumeirah Beach, Jumeirah Hotel - the jewel in the crown
of Dubai - to Nad Al Sahiba race course where you can see herds
of camels coming and going for training. We return to Zabeel
Palace, the family residence of the ruling Al Maktoum family

Centre. We proceed further to the creekside to see the Skyline
of Dubai where you can see the fascinating views of skyscrapers
and to Bastakiya, which is the old part of Dubai. Next to visit

links with trading and pearl diving. After the visit to beautifully
restored Palace of Sheikh Saeed, the grandfather of present
ruler of Dubai you will be dropped at Abra (the ancient water
taxi ferry) crossing point from where you cruise along the creek
