Dubai Creek (Khor Dubai) Tours and Tickets
Free Admission
The seawater Dubai Creek (Khor Dubai)—which flows between Deira and Bur Dubai in the historic center of the United Arab Emirates city—is the reason for Dubai's very existence. It’s been widened many times during the last century and, today, it's often full of abra (wooden water taxis) ferrying passengers between the souks of Deira on the northeastern bank and the historic district of Bur Dubai on the southwestern bank.

Had the best guided tour experience with Hamza
Hamza was a fantastic guide, loaded with historical facts and stories, and very entertaining. Loved the Soulk Walks and Abra ride.
Angela_E, Sept 2023
Old Dubai souk tour
A great way to experience Old Dubai when limited for time. Highlights were the explanation of Dubai / Emirati history and culture, and the ‘spice tutorial’ and demonstration by the guide. The ‘inside intel’ on the market prices and negotiation tactics would be useful for those planning to buy. The ‘street food’ lunch was surprisingly good.
Beaut_B, Sept 2023
Great experience and wonderful tour
Our tour guide francis was excellent, he took his time and explained the interesting facts about the sites we visited. Also was more than happy to answer any questions we had and was very engaging throught the whole trip. Also providing complementary drinks and snacks for us. The driver Mohammed was great every time we made a stop he got up to open the doors for us and when leaving the sites he always arrived on time to pick us up.
