About Dubai Heritage Express Tour

Take the strain out of organizing a busy sightseeing itinerary and simply sit back and relax on a trolley tour to see many of Dubai's most iconic cultural sights. Listen to your local guide tell you amusing, engaging, and historically significant anecdotes while stopping to take insta-worthy pictures at each location. Enjoy a warm greeting and a refreshing beverage before beginning your tour with an incredible desert Bedouin display. Bedouins (or Bedawi in Arabic), a semi-nomadic group of desert-dwellers who traversed the sands, are the oldest inhabitants of the Arabian desert. Known for their resourcefulness and hospitality, the Bedouins survived harsh weather conditions and lived in difficult environments. Make your way to some of Dubai's most magnificent attractions, such as downtown Al Seef, the 200-year-old Al Fahidi Fort, Dubai Abra, and its waterway, the Jumeirah Mosque – the country's most recognizable landmark, and more. You'll leave with a wealth of knowledge, images, and memories of Dubai at the end of your tour.
