Visiting Dubai while on a Cruise in Abu Dhabi
A Dubai tour is a must while visiting Abu Dhabi on a cruise ship. Dubai is the first city in the Arab World to bag a spot in UNESCO’s ‘creative cities of design’ list. A potpourri of cultures existing harmoniously to paint a diverse landscape of culinary, fashion, performance and music while holding on to its Islamic roots firmly, Dubai is a city loved by all. Its not just superlative-winning high-rises and high-end malls, this city has many personalities and a Dubai city tour will introduce you to every one of them. Head to Dubai’s oldest building, the Al Fahidi fort, situated in an ancient neighborhood where you can still see mudbrick walls and houses with wind towers. Go inside the coral and mortar walls of the fort to observe the many dioramas and exhibits that showcase artifacts and daily life scenes that date back to the 1800s. Go on a trip that will open all your senses, an Abra (water taxi) ride. The eyes will view the splendid mix of old and new Dubai buildings lining the banks. The ears will revel at the peaceful sound of water mixed with the bustling sound of shoppers at the nearby souks. The nose will pick up scents of the fragrant spices that you will soon be able to touch and taste at the spice souk. From coffee and incense to spice and dried flowers, the spice souk has every kind of dried item. Dubai is not named the city of Gold for no reason. Let your eyes take in the variety of designs as you walk through the Gold Souk. Stop by at Dubai Mall that is home to not just 1200 shops but also the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater zoo. Then, for a look at a traditional shopping souk visit Madinat Jumeirah and finally the showstopping icon, the Burj Al Arab.
