Return to the hotel and relax.

Today, unlike the Bur Dubai yesterday, we are going to venture in the Deira Dubai which is the old section of town where the traditional lifestyle has been well preserved. Dubai was a small fishing village but because of the prime location and easy transportation, this place has been the trade and wholesale hub for spices, jewelry and textile in the Middle East for a long history. Join our group to walk through the hustle and bustle Fabric Market where the locals often come for picking their favorite materials, choosing various accessories and having apparel custom-made. Jump into a Water Taxi Abra with the natives to ride across the Dubai Creek and call on the Dubai Spice Souk, an inviting place full of colorful, aromatic ingredients and herbs. Wander along the narrow alleyways lined with stalls offering all kinds of spices and additives from the Middle East and as far as India. If you are so curious, pinch and taste the flavors and ask for the recipes from the friendly vendors as you explore this fragrant marketplace. Dubai Gold Souk is another must-see spot not far from the spice bazaar where you have more small passages to discover. The stores here expose travelers to an endless array of stylish gems, silver, platinum and of course gold from around the world that attract dealers and brokers in large numbers every year. There must be something to your liking from the range of products here and get ready to practice your bargaining skills with these outlet owners and select a piece of keepsake to take home. Follow our guide to meet our bus via Perfume Souk. Bastakiya Quarter is a historical district where old wind-tower houses of wealthy merchants are still in good shape. If you wish to know more about the city behind all the looming skyscrapers, step in the art gallery, the café, and Sheikh Mohammed Centre to learn how Dubai emerged from a small unknown town to such a futuristic cosmopolitan metropolis within 50 years. Meet and chat with your host at this old neighborhood about the traditions and history of the city followed by a lunch of authentic Emirati cuisine. 

Come back to the hotel and the rest of the day is at leisure or you are welcome to opt for our optional Dubai by Night excursion.
