Overview of your Dubai tour

I was here when Dubai was only few Km length/breadth from Bur Dubai to Deira Street Food Tour: (First Half) Bur Dubai's backstreets are where Dubai began and are a hub of activities. In this street food tour we will be walking to most places Explore! Taste! Photograph the heart of old Dubai Embark on a food and photography experience of Dubai to the multi-cultural Emirati/Indian gastronomic heart of old Dubai.
