Dubai Old Town Sentimental Tour

📍 Al Fahidi Historical District & Abra Water Taxi

The first stop on the Dubai trip is the Al Fahidi Historical District, also known as Bastakiya.
Walking through the earthy-colored alleys, traditional tents, and unique Middle Eastern wind towers gives off a distinct vibe.
Visiting before 8 AM allowed for a peaceful stroll with almost no tourists around, and the area is filled with photo spots, making it perfect for capturing memories.

Next, we boarded the water taxi 'Abra' at the Dubai Old Souk Station!
This local transportation, which serves as a lifeline for residents, departs as soon as it fills up with passengers.
Crossing Dubai Creek on the boat, we got a close-up view of traditional trading ships called 'Dhow,' which looked like buildings perched on boats—a truly unique sight.
Though the ride lasted only 10 minutes, it felt like a genuine glimpse into the daily life of Dubai locals!
