The partnership and the meal-led tour
SMCCU’s Heritage Express page describes trained Emirati guides, an Old Dubai tour and a traditional meal in a heritage house, with time for questions. Its booking link leads to Culture on Wheels and Emirati Hospitality Experience. That product advertises a four-hour trolley programme with a Jumeirah Mosque stop, at AED265 for adults, AED135 for ages 6–12 and free for children five and under. These published categories are separate from Cultural Meals prices.
