This half-day city tour of Dubai starts in the Jumeirah district. The first stop is the traditionally recreated Madinat Souk, which has views of the Burj Al Arab Hotel for photos. The route then goes onto the man-made Palm Jumeirah island for a closer look at the Atlantis Resort.
The tour continues along Jumeirah Beach, a palace and residential area of Dubai, to a photo stop at Jumeirah Mosque. It then goes to Al Bastakiya, the old part of Dubai, and passes the Al Fahidi Fort, the former residence of the ruling family.
An Abra (water taxi) takes you across Dubai Creek to the Spice Souk. There is time to shop at the Gold Souk, one of the most visited sites in Dubai. The tour ends in Downtown Dubai, where you see the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building.
