MSC Cruises offers two different bike tours of Dubai: one on a traditional bicycle and the other on an e-bike. The ‘ Dubai Active Tour by Bike ’ (covering around 15 kilometres by bike) is centred around the Old City . Starting at the cruise port, you’ll cycle to Dubai Creek , the city’s main waterway. Then, travel under the creek to Deira , the oldest part of Dubai, to explore the area’s alleyways and traditional markets, such as the gold and spice souks. There’s some free time to explore the souks before riding past the Dhow Harbour and over Al Maktoum Bridge . Afterwards, spend time exploring a clothes souk before returning to the cruise terminal.
The half-day ‘ Dubai by E-Bike ’ excursion travels around the modern part of Dubai. It starts at Dubai Marina , heading past the Jumeirah Mosque on the way to Dubai’s main beach. Take in views of stunning villas and the Burj Al Arab hotel before taking a break to explore a traditional souk. The tour then moves to the world-famous Burj Khalifa before heading along Jumeirah Beach Road and back to the cruise port.
