Overview

Experience the real Dubai at night on a private tour of Old Dubai’s markets, souks, and street‑food spots instead of eating in a hotel restaurant.
Walk through Al Fahidi (Al Bastakiya), Meena Bazaar, the Textile Souk, the Spice Souk, and the Gold Souk with a local guide who knows the best hidden lanes and snack stops. Enjoy classic Dubai street snacks such as shawarma or falafel, sweet, and karak tea, and ride a traditional abra boat across Dubai Creek to see the wooden dhows and city lights.
With flexible street‑food tastings, hotel transfers or Metro meeting point, and a private group of up to six guests, this night tour is designed for travelers who want authentic flavors and stories in a short, easy evening.
