Half-Day Dubai City Tour with Blue Mosque, Creek, Souks & Abra

Susan_F, Feb 2026

Thorough tour, engaging guide

Our guide, Muhammad Ali, was masterful… engaging, insightful and informative. The tour is thorough. You’ll likely enjoy some bits more than others. For me, the Dubai Creek ride was surprisingly enjoyable as was the date and coffee tasting in Old Dubai. Not a big fan of the souks, but they’re a must for others.
