The Experience
Before You Go
Book morning slots
Temperatures climb quickly; morning departures make walking at Jumeirah and Al Fahidi more pleasant.
Dress respectfully
Wear shoulders-and-knees-covering clothes when visiting mosque viewpoints and older neighborhoods to respect local customs.
Carry ID
A valid passport is required for pickup and is useful for any museum admissions or checkpoints.
Comfortable footwear
Expect short walks on uneven alleyways in Al Fahidi and on the creekfront; closed-toe walking shoes are best.

Rapid urban development stresses coastal and cultural sites; respect designated walkways, avoid littering, and support local conservation programs when visiting historical neighborhoods.
Dubai grew from a creek-side trading entrepôt; Al Fahidi and the creek were central to pearling and regional trade before the oil era transformed the skyline.
