Overview

About this tour

This half-day Dubai city tour shows you old and new Dubai in one morning. You travel in a shared air-conditioned car or van with a guide, and we pick you up from your hotel and bring you back.

The tour starts on the coast, with photo stops at Jumeirah Mosque and Burj Al Arab. Then it heads to old Dubai: a walk through the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, a ride across Dubai Creek on a wooden abra, and free time in the Spice Souk and Gold Souk.

On the way back you stop for photos at the Dubai Frame and the Museum of the Future. Sharing the car with other guests keeps the price low. For a private car, ask us.
