    Stunning water fountain show which occurs every 30 minutes. Get a great view from practically anywhere at the front. Songs alternate from Arabic to English. Worth seeing whilst in Dubai.

    Unlike most of modern Dubai, visiting the Dubai Creek is like stepping back in time. On one side of the river is the historic Al Seef and Al Fahidi neighborhoods. You can then ride on a traditional abra across the river to the Old Souk. The cost is 1 Dirham. Make sure you get on the right abra. You want the Dierra Old Souk-Bur Dubai abra which leaves from its own pier.

    The Frame is a really good trip. Buy your tickets online and try to get the first slot as a lot quieter them! It's an amazing sight to see! You go into a lift one side, and up the top, you can walk over the glass floor or choose to walk either side of this if this is something you wouldn't want to do! The views from up here are incredible! You then go down the lift the other side.

    Unlike most of the modern city of Dubai, riding an Abra across the Dubai Creek is like stepping back in time and experiencing the Dubai of old. The Abra is the traditional mode of transport in the region and is still used by locals for public transportation. However, for a tourist, it is a memorable experience and provides beautiful views along Dubai Creek. The cost is 1 Dirham, cash only. You can board at the Bur Dubai near the historic Al Fahidi neighborhood and cross to explore the authentic Gold and Spice Souks. There are several different Abra routes but you want to take the Diera Old Souk-Bur Dubai. You can find the pier by looking on googlemaps for this route,

    Very informative and friendly guide. We got a good high level overview of Islam pillars. The Jumeirah Mosque is beautiful. The refreshments before hand was really appreciated. We weee also provided with appropriate clothing before going into mosque.

    At peak hours rate of dhs 158/- in hot summer it was not that great experience. Bit too hazy view due to humidity also it was partially closed for renovation. Even coffee shop on the top was closed.

    I am a hard core believer of Guru Nansk Saheb Ji, The architecture and vibe really amazing,

    But please dont have langar in this gurudwara, because we eat lanagar as blessings of wahe guru but the servings what people they are doing like we are there are for free meals and we dont have food at our home to eat, so we visited there for free meal,

    The behaviour i noticed it was purely not sewa, it was just like they were treating we are came to have our dinner
    Really disappointed and dishonored.

    I request to all, please go for darshan only, please dont consider there langar as Prasad,

    Because langar should be coming from heart with true feelings.

    But honestly those who will serve you, those people dont have seva bhaav in there heart, so its not langar its just they think you are there for your lunch or dinner.

    Thanks and sorry,
    I have right to write my review.

    These towers are a Dubai institution. Wonderful architecture, inside and out. One tower consists of mainly offices, whereas the other is a hotel owned by Jumeirah. There are also a few standalone restaurants in the middle. The area is beautiful - you can walk from DIFC (Dubai International Financial Centre) and make your way around the Emirates Towers and the Museum of the Future. If you’re lucky, you may see some roaming peacocks as well!
