Your Old Dubai Guide FAQs

What is the best part of this Old Dubai Guide?

The best part is the contrast. Our Old Dubai Guide recommends starting in Al Fahidi, then taking the 1 AED abra ride across the creek to the bustling Gold and Spice Souks.

How much time do I need for an Old Dubai Guide?

We recommend at least half a day (4-5 hours) to properly explore Al Fahidi, ride the abra, and get lost in the souks. A full day is even better.

Is it easy to get lost following an Old Dubai Guide?

The souks can be confusing, but that's part of the fun! Nxvoy's Old Dubai Guide provides key landmarks and metro stations to keep you anchored.

What is the best time to visit Old Dubai?

The best time is in the morning (around 10 AM) to see the souks open, or in the late afternoon (around 4 PM) when it's cooler and the Gold Souk is at its most active.
