Posted by Within a few decades, Dubai has developed from a small town into one of the most modern metropolises in the world. Almost every visitor to Dubai wants to see as many attractions and sights as possible. However, the city is relatively large, between the old town and many modern sights further south lie more than 10 kilometers. In this respect, an organized city tour in Dubai is not a bad idea. We recommend a sightseeing tour through Dubai especially as an introduction to a trip to Dubai. In a few hours you get a great overview of Dubai City. It is important to book a tour in a language that you understand well.

Most city tours in Dubai include the old Dubai at the Creek. The Creek is a river that flows into the sea in Dubai. The Creek used to be the old town of Dubai. Even today you can still see so-called souqs there. A souq is a part of a city where there are many shops. In Dubai there is still a gold souq, a food souq and a spice souq. There are also the spellings Suq, Souk and Suk.
Furthermore, many city tours visit the area around the Dubai Mall, the largest shopping mall in the world. Here is also the Dubai Aquarium (largest in the world) and the skyscraper Burj Khalifa (highest house in the world).
