Dubai Aladdin Tour: Museums, Souks, street food and Boat Guided Tour

our guide “sav” was incredible! He was extremely knowledgeable, well spoken and willing to answer all of our questions! he helped us navigate the markets, learn how to “haggle” and even helped me purchase gold from a great seller! would absolutely recommend this tour to everyone coming to Dubai! Just come for the 9:30 tour to beat the heat & arrive early to enjoy walking through the souk before it opens!

We booked our Dubai Aladdin Walking tour with them and we loved how knowledgeable and entertaining Hamza (our tour guide) was. He explained very well the history of Old Dubai, the 7 emirates and had a brief comparison of their respective cultures with others currently residing here in the UAE. He discussed the differences between the real and fake Dubai Chocolate and some spices. He also gave us tips on how to deal with the market specifically the price range and advised us to be careful with “extra zeros” before paying for the items.

We took the Dubai Walking Tour and right from the get go we had a very fun, informative and great experience. Seef is an fantastic guide who keeps you engaged. He proactively prepares for food orders so that when you reach the spot you’re ready to grab and eat without having to wait. He explained us about Emirates, Dubai, the culture, which would be missed if we just take a stroll around the area. He also did let us know of what’s the maximum one needs to pay for each item category, so that anyone from the group does not get scammed. I would highly recommend this trip in order to understand the perspective of Dubai and Emiratis.

This was my first visit to Dubai, and the Old Town tour was a great experience. It helped me learn more about Dubai’s history, culture, and traditional life, which was very interesting. Our tour guide, Mr. Islam Shady, was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly and made the tour enjoyable. He was always happy to answer questions and made sure everyone felt comfortable. I highly recommend this tour, especially for first-time visitors to Dubai.

My 1st time in Dubai. Very glad that I joined this tour with Hamza. He is a wonderful tour guide with rich knowledge about Dubai. Will give this tour 10 out of 10. However, because of Hazam, I will give 11 out 10 if possible. 😀😀😀

Hamza made our Dubai Old City tour genuinely memorable. We did the 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM slot, and everything was smooth, well paced, and thoughtfully organized from start to finish. He was warm and welcoming right away, and he kept the experience light and enjoyable without ever feeling rushed. What I appreciated most was how he combined structure with flexibility. As we went through Dubai Creek, the abra ride, the old souks, and the Gold and Spice Souks, he shared clear, interesting context and pointed out details we would have missed on our own. He also gave practical tips that made everything easier, from where to look and walk to how to enjoy each stop more comfortably. The snacks were a nice bonus, and Hamza consistently checked in to make sure we were doing well. Overall, Hamza is friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful. We are very glad we had him as our guide, and we would gladly book with him again.

We did a morning walking tour covering Al Seef Souk, the Spice, Textile and Gold Souks, along with the Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The tour was very well paced, thoughtfully curated, and never felt rushed. Our guide, Hamza, made all the difference. He is extremely knowledgeable, well mannered, and incredibly patient in answering every question—big or small. His storytelling and insights into Dubai’s history, culture, and everyday life added so much depth to the walk. A lovely bonus was the Arabic coffee tasting and Dubai chocolate tasting, which added a beautiful local touch to the experience. Overall, it was an enriching and memorable way to explore old Dubai. Highly recommend this walking tour, especially with Hamza as your guide.

I had an amazing experience on the Aladdin Tour at the Dubai Souk, thanks to our exceptionally charismatic guide, Hamza. He was incredibly informative and explained Dubai’s culture in such a clear and engaging way. He also gave a handful of useful tips when buying at the souk. The tour was enjoyable from start to finish and truly not to be missed. I genuinely enjoyed every moment!

Hamza was very well knowledgeable about the history and fun facts of the area, and was engaging in his delivery as well. I found it especially helpful that he gave us tips on what the appropriate prices of several more popular items in the souks should be, it helped us to avoid getting scammed. Would recommend going on tours with him!

We highly recommend this tour! Our guide Lamine was amazing, kind, thoughtful, patient and gave us a lot of insight to the cultural & historical aspects of the areas we visited. thank you again Lamine for everything! we truly enjoyed every minute of this tour with you!
