Description

Visit the Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood in Dubai on a cultural tour. Explore wind towers, heritage walk paths, Emirati culture, and pure hospitality.

Go out of the current Dubai and take a guided tour of the Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood. It is one of the most culturally diverse regions in the United Arab Emirates. The area is also referred to locally as Fahidi or the Al Fahidi Historical District, Dubai. This area is a historical quarter that provides a true-to-life insight into the life of Dubai along the Dubai Creek before the skyscrapers redefined the scenery. You can escape to sand-colored windtower houses, dark alleyways, and classic courtyards that are reminiscent of the trading and pearl-diving history of Dubai. The Al Fahidi Historical Creek Walkway is a place that will reveal to you the history of early inhabitants, construction, and traditions that made the Emirati society. The tour starts at the Sheikh Mohammed Centre of Cultural Understanding (SMCCU), which is the destination of Emirati hospitality. It will be guided by an experienced cultural guide who will facilitate free dialogue, interest, and cultural interaction. No question is out of bounds, whether it is architecture, religion, everyday life, or traditions. We recommend this tour to the traveler who is eager to get out of sightseeing. Book now, and get to know more about the essence of Dubai through its people, history, and heritage.
