A superb tour with an excellent host!
I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. My guide, AJ, was extremely knowledgeable, well-spoken and a superb host during this approximately 2 1/2-3 hour tour. We viewed several shops, market places and of course restaurants while meeting a number of locals along the way. I wold highly recommend this service to anyone who enjoys learning about history, culture and local cuisine.

This tour is a must-do!
We did the food tour with Sandy and it was great. He told us a lot about Dubai, was very personable and also catered to our personal wishes. In addition, the food stops were totally delicious, authentic and so plentiful that we couldn't finish everything at the last stop. We felt well looked after all round and would book a tour with Sandy again at any time. 100% recommendation!

Great walking tour, so much more than just the food.
We were fortunate enough to be the only couple on the tour. Our guide for the day was Malick and he was brilliant.

A Good History Walking Tour and you won’t go Hungry
Ikram was my tour guide and I was very appreciative that the tour was still going ahead when I found out I was the only one. Ikram was terrific with his knowledge and history of Dubai and had pictures handy to illustrate some of it. The charming restaurants that we visited and the food provided was awesome and it was hard work getting through all of it, in fact, I had to give up at our last stop in the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood in a lovely courtyard setting where I was given a camel meat burger and couldn’t quite get through half of it I was so full. As we walked and ate, I truly enjoyed the great conversations that we had which made the evening all the more enjoyable. I also particularly enjoyed the visit to a shop in the spice souk where I had a delicious drink of tea with a cinnamon stick and saffron, the boat trip across the Dubai Creek and seeing all of the terrific work where the old buildings had been restored. Thanks very much to Ikram, Gomez & Sandy.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dubai's Favourite Food & Historic walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Dubai's Favourite Food & Historic walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $350 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dubai's Favourite Food & Historic walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dubai is not rushed.
Is Dubai's Favourite Food & Historic walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 32 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dubai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dubai's Favourite Food & Historic walking Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dubai's Favourite Food & Historic walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 10. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Dubai's Favourite Food & Historic walking Tour?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dubai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dubai and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dubai's Favourite Food & Historic walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dubai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dubai?
+
On Outty we rank every Dubai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubai Premium Red Dunes Safari, Camels & 5* BBQ at Al Khayma Camp, Dubai: Red Dunes Safari, Quad, Camel, Dune Bash, BBQ & Shows, Dubai Dune Buggy Safari Tour in Red Dunes Options. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dubai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dubai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
