The Experience

Discover Old Dubai on a curated walking tour led by a passionate local expert. You'll join Nada, a licensed guide, cultural enthusiast and storyteller who's lived in the UAE for over 30 years, for a trip down memory lane through Al Shindagha district. Explore a museum, wander through fragrant spice markets and glittering gold souks and cruise the Creek aboard a traditional wooden abra. Then, you'll stop for cardamom-laced gahwa (Arabic coffee) before tucking into a leisurely Emirati lunch. Nada has snagged you a spot at one of the hardest places in the city to get a seat at, MICHELIN Bib Gourmand–awarded Al Khayma Heritage Restaurant. Afterwards, you'll visit a boutique hotel and café Mazmi, set in a restored 1940 wind-tower house, for a delicious, slow-melt gelato. Here, Nada will share her top five hidden gems, including lesser-known Dubai treasures even locals may not know and insider stories. Plus, you'll take home a special keepsake of your journey. Exclusively for Mastercard cardholders.
