More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The tour opens with the city laid out like a modern map of ambition: glass spires, a shimmering creek, and the Burj Khalifa rising above like a steel-weathered compass. You step off the coach into Al Fahidi’s narrow lanes where wind towers and coral-stone walls recall Dubai before oil—a place of merchants, pearling and dhow trade.
