Tips
- Wear comfortable shoes – you’ll be on your feet, strolling through heritage sites, souks, and waterfront paths for several hours.
- Dress modestly out of respect for Old Dubai’s traditional areas (light cotton clothing covering shoulders and knees is ideal in the warm weather).
- Carry some cash (UAE dirhams) for small purchases at souks or extra snacks. Many vendors in the older markets prefer cash and you might spot souvenirs or spices you’ll want to buy on the spot.
- Stay hydrated. The tour provides tastes of food and likely water, but Dubai’s heat – especially in the afternoons – means a small water bottle in your bag is a good idea.
- Be adventurous but mindful with street foods. If you have dietary restrictions or a sensitive stomach, inform your guide at the start; they can help you navigate which bites to try or avoid.
- Photography is welcome – you’ll find endless photo ops in the alleyways of Al Fahidi, on the creek crossing, and amid the colourful souk stalls. Just ask for permission before snapping portraits of locals, especially shopkeepers.
