Overview

Our Private Full Day Dubai City Tour covers every side of the city at a relaxed pace, with your own car and driver guide from morning to evening. Start in old Dubai with an abra ride across the creek, the Al Fahidi Historical District and the Gold and Spice Souks, then see the Dubai Frame and the Museum of the Future on Sheikh Zayed Road.

After a lunch break, continue to Jumeirah Mosque, Souk Madinat Jumeirah and the Burj Al Arab, cross the Palm Jumeirah to Atlantis and stroll Dubai Marina. The day ends in Downtown Dubai at the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall, timed so you can watch the Dubai Fountain show after sunset before your driver takes you back to your hotel.

Perfect for

  • First-time visitors
  • Families
  • See it all
Tip from our desert team

Ask your guide to time the Downtown stop for sunset – the Burj Khalifa lights up and the Dubai Fountain show starts right after.
