This city tour is thoughtfully designed to showcase the very best of Dubai—its iconic landmarks, rich cultural heritage, and luxurious modern lifestyle. Prepare to journey through a city that effortlessly blends the past and the future.

Your day begins with a visit to the world-renowned Burj Khalifa, the tallest building on the planet. Take in the stunning views from the 124th-floor observation deck and marvel at the impressive architecture that defines Dubai’s skyline. Just a short walk away lies the Dubai Mall, one of the world’s largest retail and entertainment destinations. Inside, you can explore countless shops and attractions, including the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, before stepping outside to enjoy the spectacular Dubai Fountain show.

As the tour continues, you’ll pass through the stunning Dubai Marina—a modern waterfront development filled with luxurious yachts, striking skyscrapers, and a lively atmosphere. From there, make your way to Palm Jumeirah, the famous man-made island shaped like a palm tree. A stop at Atlantis, The Palm offers fantastic views of the Arabian Gulf and a glimpse of one of Dubai’s most iconic resorts.

Next, view the sail-shaped silhouette of the Burj Al Arab, often referred to as the world’s only seven-star hotel. While access inside is limited to guests, you can capture beautiful photos from the nearby Jumeirah Beach. The tour then shifts from modern marvels to Dubai’s historical roots with a visit to the Dubai Museum, housed in the Al Fahidi Fort. Here, you’ll discover the city’s transformation from a modest fishing village into the global metropolis it is today.

Continue the journey through the charming lanes of the Al Fahidi Historical District, also known as the Bastakiya Quarter. This area showcases traditional Emirati architecture, art galleries, and cultural spaces, offering a deeper understanding of Dubai’s heritage.

No visit to Dubai is complete without experiencing the lively souks of Deira. Wander through the Gold Souk, filled with stunning jewelry, and the Spice Souk, where the air is rich with the aroma of exotic spices. Then, enjoy a peaceful ride across Dubai Creek aboard a traditional wooden abra, offering a unique view of both old and new Dubai from the water.

Your final stop brings you to the Jumeirah Mosque, one of the few mosques in the UAE open to non-Muslim visitors. With its elegant design and welcoming guided tours, it provides an opportunity to learn more about Islamic culture and architecture in an open, respectful setting.

This immersive city tour offers a comprehensive look at the many sides of Dubai—from sky-piercing towers and luxury resorts to historical landmarks and cultural treasures. Whether it’s your first time in the city or a return visit, you’ll leave with unforgettable memories and a deeper appreciation for this dynamic destination.

FAQs

What is included in a Dubai City Tour?

Inclusions may vary by tour operator, but most Dubai City Tours typically offer the following:

  • Roundtrip transportation in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle
  • Services of a professional driver and/or guide
  • Entry to key attractions such as the Burj Khalifa observation deck or Dubai Museum (if specified in the package)
  • A traditional dhow cruise experience

Please note: Meals, souvenirs, and optional activities are usually not included and may incur additional charges.

What should I wear on a Dubai City Tour?

Dubai is warm and sunny for most of the year, so it's best to wear lightweight, breathable clothing made from fabrics like cotton or linen. Light-colored outfits help reflect the heat and keep you cool. When visiting cultural or religious sites such as the Jumeirah Mosque, modest attire is essential—shoulders and knees should be covered. Comfortable walking shoes are highly recommended, and don’t forget a hat and sunglasses for added sun protection.

What is the local currency in Dubai?

The official currency in Dubai is the United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED). You can exchange your currency at the airport, local banks, or authorized currency exchange offices. Major credit cards are widely accepted across hotels, restaurants, malls, and most tourist attractions.

Do I need a visa to visit Dubai?

Visa requirements for Dubai depend on your nationality. Citizens of many countries—especially from Western and European regions—are eligible for a visa on arrival, typically valid for 30 days. However, it’s strongly recommended to check the most up-to-date visa regulations with your nearest UAE embassy or consulate before traveling to ensure a smooth entry.

What is the best time to visit Dubai?

The ideal time to visit Dubai is between November and April, when the weather is cooler and more comfortable for outdoor activities. These months are considered peak tourist season, especially around Christmas and New Year, so expect larger crowds and higher prices. While Dubai is sunny year-round, July and August can be extremely hot, making them less ideal for sightseeing unless you plan to stay indoors or enjoy summer deals.
