The best Dubai city tour for you

Short on time

The half day tour covers the essentials and has you back at your hotel by 1:00 pm.

City by day, desert by night

Take the half day tour in the morning and an evening desert safari with a 2:00 pm pickup.

First visit to Dubai

The full day tour gives you time to go up Burj Khalifa, have lunch and see the Marina.

You know what you want

The private city tour is built from your own list, whether that's shopping, photography or beaches.

Families with children

The full day or private tour lets you slow down and take breaks whenever the kids need one.

Best value for groups

Every tour is priced per group, so six people pay from about AED 92 each.

What a Dubai sightseeing tour covers

Dubai has two very different sides, and a good city tour shows you both:

  • Old Dubai: the wind-tower houses of Al Fahidi, an abra across Dubai Creek, and the gold and spice souks of Deira.
  • The Jumeirah coast: Jumeirah Mosque and the beach in front of Burj Al Arab.
  • Palm Jumeirah: the drive out to Atlantis The Palm.
  • Modern Dubai: the Dubai Frame, the Museum of the Future and Burj Khalifa in Downtown.

FAQ

Dubai city tour questions

How much is a Dubai city tour?

Our Dubai city tours cost AED 550 for the half day tour or a 5-hour private tour, and AED 845 for the full day tour or an 8–9 hour private tour. Each price covers a group of up to 6 people, including pickup and a vehicle for your group.

Which Dubai sightseeing tour is best for first-time visitors?

The full day tour, because it combines Old Dubai, the coast, the Palm and Downtown with time to go inside attractions. If you only have a morning, the half day tour covers the highlights by 1:00 pm.

How many hours do you need for a Dubai city tour?

Four to five hours is enough to see the main sights from outside. Eight to nine hours lets you visit places like Burj Khalifa or the Dubai Frame properly and have lunch.

Can I do a city tour and a desert safari on the same day?

Yes. The half day city tour finishes by 1:00 pm, and the evening desert safari picks up from 2:00 pm, so both fit comfortably into one day.

Do your sightseeing packages include attraction tickets?

No. Tickets for places like Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Frame or the Museum of the Future are not included. Tell us which ones you plan to visit, and we'll build your route around the ticket times.
