The tour proceeds along the Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai’s main highway lined with architectural wonders, before reaching the Old Dubai area. Here, step back in time as you visit the Spice Souk and the Gold Souk in Deira two traditional markets that reflect the city’s trading heritage and vibrant culture.

Discovering the Best of Dubai

I thoroughly enjoyed the city tour. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared fascinating information about Dubai's history, culture, and landmarks. There were plenty of great picture-taking moments, and the visits to the Gold Souk, Spice Souk, and Diamond Souk were both informative and enjoyable. The drive-by views of the Dubai Frame, Burj Khalifa, and other iconic hotels and architectural landmarks provided a wonderful overview of the city. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Dubai.

Joshua the tour guide is amazing

Joshua the tour guide is amazing. Very friendly, gentle, patient and kind. He explained everything well with history of how things started. He gave statistics of some of the things that we asked. He is very clear and he took good care of us. I recommend JTR tour guides.
