Full-day Dubai City Tour with Burj Khalifa - From Pearls to Skyscrapers

Old Dubai's history is rooted in the early 18th century when it emerged as a small fishing and pearl-diving village. The Al Maktoum family established Dubai in the 1830s, transforming it into a vital trading hub due to its strategic location along the Persian Gulf. The bustling neighborhoods of Al Seef and the Bastakiya Historic District, with their wind-towered buildings and narrow alleys, preserve this rich heritage. The turn of the millennium heralded a new era for Dubai. The city experienced unprecedented growth and modernization after the year 2000, driven by visionary projects and a focus on tourism, real estate, and finance. Landmark developments like the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, and the Palm Jumeirah, an iconic man-made island, exemplify Dubai’s architectural ambition.
