The Good Old Days of Dubai: Explore Half Day City Tour Dubai Past

The lifestyle of the people in Dubai has shifted remarkably. The city was once a small fishing hub, and the people were relying on natural resources to provide for their basic needs through pearl diving and agriculture. The palm trees were an integral part, with dates being the source of food, and the leaves were used to make homes. Dubai’s transition from a fishing village to a metropolis is “surreal,” for the stories may sound like a fairytale. Your day will start by exploring the Al Bastakiya Area; some of the old Dubai is still visible in these areas. Visit the Dubai Museum at Al-Fahidi Fort. The museum is one of the most popular attractions in the city. It provides a unique glimpse into the bygone era of Dubai.
