Overview
Although a relatively new city, Dubai enjoys a rich
heritage with a history that goes as far back as the
Bronze Age. Take this journey with us back in time
and explore the roots of this country.
Visiting Bastakiya and its narrow lanes is an
experience you will never forget. A
ride on a lovely little abra will transport you to the
busy market area with the famous Gold and Spice
Souks. From here, you will move on to see Jumeirah
Mosque, to admire the 8th-century Islamic
architecture.
