Seaplane Tour to Dubai from Abu Dhabi and Private Heritage Tour

Summary

Head to Yas Marina to begin your tour to Dubai with a flight briefing before hopping aboard the Cessna 9-seater seaplane that whisks you to Dubai on a 45-minute flight. Take off from the water and admire views of Yas Island from the air as you head toward Dubai, where you can look down on Burj Al Arab, Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, and the World Islands. When your seaplane lands on Dubai Creek, meet your private guide to start your heritage tour, which focuses around the creek, the historical heart of the city. Explore attractions including the spice market and Dubai's oldest building, and listen to stories about Dubai's history from your guide. Wander around the alleyways that make up the souks, learning about Arab traditions as you visit Al Bastakiya, where you'll have lunch.
