Tour description

Hi! I’m Alena, and I’d love to show you around the heart of this amazing city.

Think of this as a relaxed walk with a FRIEND who knows the best spots. During our time together, I will tell you the stories behind the landmarks we see—like why the Waterfall is famous or how a Dinosaur ended up in a mall.

But our conversation really depends on our common VIBE! I don't follow a boring script. I am happy to answer your questions about the local heritage and give you an insider's look at what the modern city lifestyle is really like.

Our walk together:

The Mall Highlights: We’ll meet at the Metro Link (next to HUAWEI shop) to see the massive Waterfall, the Aquarium, and a 155-million-year-old dinosaur skeleton.
The Best Views: We will step outside for iconic views of the Burj Khalifa. I’ll be your PHOTOGRAPHER during the walk, so I'll help you find the best angles for your memories!
Traditional Vibes: We’ll stroll through SOUK AL BAHAR and DOWNTOWN PALACE, a beautiful area that feels like old Arabia.
Burj Park: We will finish our walk at Burj Park. It is a beautiful green island with the best view of the Burj Khalifa and the fountains. It is the perfect spot for our final PICTURES before we say goodbye.

Good to know:

Duration: 1.5 to 2 hours maximum.
Meeting Point: Dubai Mall Metro Link near HUAWEI shop (check photos).

Solo travellers: You are very welcome! I’m happy to help you capture great photos of your trip so you don't have to worry about selfies.

I can’t wait to meet you and share the magic of Downtown Dubai!
