What you’ll see
Key Stops on the Tour
Every stop tells a different story about Dubai — from the ancient Creek to the world’s tallest tower. Here’s what to expect at each.
01
Dubai Creek & Abra Ride
The original heart of Dubai — the Creek separating Deira from Bur Dubai. A traditional Abra wooden boat crossing (AED 1) is one of the best travel experiences in the Middle East — 5 minutes that haven’t changed in 100 years.
02
Gold Souk & Spice Souk
One of the world’s largest gold markets — hundreds of shops displaying tonnes of jewellery. The adjacent Spice Souk is a photographer’s paradise of colours, textures and aromas.
03
Jumeirah Mosque
One of Dubai’s most beautiful and photographed buildings — an exquisite white mosque open for cultural tours. Your guide will brief you on Islamic architecture and etiquette.
04
Burj Al Arab Exterior
The world’s most distinctive hotel — designed like a billowing sail on its own artificial island. Spectacular for photography from the public viewing area.
05
Palm Jumeirah & Atlantis
Drive across the palm-shaped island visible from space. Atlantis The Palm at the crescent tip makes for spectacular photography from the boardwalk.
06
Dubai Marina & JBR
The modern waterfront district of skyscrapers, Marina Walk and Jumeirah Beach Residence — the side of Dubai that looks like a science fiction set.
07
Dubai Frame (Full-Day)
Frames old and new Dubai in a single iconic view — the heritage district on one side, the skyscraper skyline on the other. A remarkable piece of architectural storytelling.
08
Burj Khalifa Exterior (Full-Day)
The world’s tallest building at 830 metres. Exterior visit and photo stop included; observation deck entry (At The Top) is an optional add-on — arrange in advance.

Common questions
Dubai City Tour FAQ
How much does a Dubai city tour cost?
Our shared Dubai city tour starts from AED 120 per person for the half-day (5 hours) and from AED 200 per person for the full-day (8 hours). Both include hotel pickup, air-conditioned vehicle and an English-speaking guide. Private tours start from approximately AED 350 per vehicle — contact us on WhatsApp for a private quote.
Can I go inside the Burj Khalifa on the tour?
The standard tour includes an exterior visit and photo stop. If you’d like to go up to the observation deck (At The Top), we can arrange tickets as an add-on — advise us when booking as these need to be pre-booked.
Is the Dubai city tour suitable for children?
Yes — the city tour is fully family-friendly. Children enjoy the Abra ride, Gold Souk, Palm Jumeirah and the Burj Khalifa views. Bring snacks and entertainment for younger children on the full-day tour as there is significant vehicle time between stops.
Can I combine the Dubai city tour with a desert safari?
Yes — a popular combination is the morning Dubai city tour (back by 2 PM) followed by an evening desert safari pickup at 3–4 PM. Both can be arranged through Red Dunes Dubai — WhatsApp us to book both together.
