What To Expect

Begin your 8-hour tour with a pickup from your Dubai hotel. Hop inside your air-conditioned minivan and set off to explore the city’s must-see landmarks.

As you travel, hear from your guide how Dubai began life as a humble fishing village before a 20th-century oil boom saw it grow into one of the world’s most dynamic cities.

Explore its roots with a visit to Al Bastakiya, the city’s oldest quarter. See the mud-built wind towers along the narrow lanes, and then chart more of Dubai’s history at the Dubai Museum, housed inside the 18th-century Al Fahidi fort. Stroll around the historical artifacts and trace the city’s lightning-speed development through the interesting scale models, photos and multimedia displays.

Having explored here, take a scenic abra ride across Dubai Creek to Deira’s souks. Absorb the exotic aromas and colors of the Spice Souk and then dive into the Gold Souk, a maze of glittering gold, silver and jewelry outlets.

If you wish, buy a souvenir from the souk (own expense), and then continue to Jumeirah Mosque, one of Dubai’s must-sees. Admire the gleaming domes and minarets of this magnificent modern mosque, and learn how its design echoes the medieval Fatimid style.

Stop for photos of the sail-shaped Burj Al-Arab hotel, and make your way into Dubai Mall to head up the Burj Khalifa, the world’s highest tower.

Ride a high-speed elevator to the ‘At the Top’ observatory on the 124th floor, and marvel at the incredible, bird’s-eye views. Walk around the full-height glass walls to fully appreciate the panoramas before descending back to ground level.

Your tour then concludes with a drop off in Emirates Mall.

The trip was greyhound. Viator needs to better inform who you will be traveling with. The burj Khalifa was a mess as the lines were long and by the time we got to the top we had to get back in a line to go back down to meet our guide and never was able to get lunch. I would advise those who are on a layover to consider the hop on hop off bus as it will get you to all the places on your own time.
Congratulations Viator

All my experience in Dubai full day tour it was very nice, but I can to put ligth in the competence of the guide and in the kindness of the customer service Kaleen.
Crap
Mike_J, Mar 2024
Getting no chance to have a break for a drink or food for 7 hours. Queueing for hours at the Burj. Taking 2 hours to get back to the hotel after the trip. 11 hour trip of terror.
Don’t pick this excursion
David_C, Mar 2024
Was promised a pickup from the cruise terminal, the meet times were agreed weeks ago, 12 hours before we were due to go, messaged to change the time 750 am the ship wasn’t docking until 9 am. We were then told would have to take a taxi to the meet point costing us a further 87 AED, but of a con the same ship docks there every week. Tickets for the Burg Khalifa had to queue for an hour to go up and an hour to come back down, leaving hardly any time at the top and no time to get lunch, not a great experience
Poor
OINDRILLA_G, Mar 2024
It was too rushed up. Hardly 10 mins given for lunch that too after 3pm. We reached Burj khalifa ticket counter at 1pm and was asked to immediately enter the que and then finish the top floor view and lunch and return by 3.15pm. the que took us 1.45 hours. We stayed at top for hardly 10 mins and rushed back. Lunch time was 10 mins where we somehow managed to take burger and eat whole walking back to bus. The bastakiya quarters and fort was not visited. Souk was rushed through. Marina walk we were given 5 mins to take photo. We could not even enjoy the views of a place before we were driven like cattles to the other. Guide walked like wind immaterial whether old people can catch to the pace of not. While returning there was chaos because our car was not there to drop to hotel (I had taken pick up drop service). After standing for 15 mins under the scorching heat a car came to drop us. It was unplanned and not worth the money. Rather take another tour operator which is cheaper. They did not cover dubai fountain and dubai frame which are the main ones. Atlantis, whatever view you get from monorail that is the only thing they show. They don't give photostop to take photo of Atlantis. It's waste of money and time. Guide wS not at all good.
Was with it 😊

Horrible Experience, buy hop of hop on Bus instead. Cheaper
Tessie_L, Mar 2024
We started our tour with trouble shooting cause there was an issue in audio in the bus there were sits that you can’t hear nothing. Headphone was also cheap materials. We had to changed sit in order to hear the audio on the bus. This tour was way more expensive, experience was like hopping on hop on and hop off bus. Pretty much give you earphones listening to the audio, drop you in one of the stops. Supposed to be guided tour but English was very bad. He doesn’t talk that much. Dropped us in Dubai mall with uncleared instructions, the after that out of 11 people only 3 understood his instructions.. 8 of us had to cut our tour short cause we had to stayed in Dubai mall to experience Burj Khalifa cause we thought we are all going up on same time, not just handling our tickets and meet you up at 3. We thought we only had lunch break and will guide us to go up. End up the 2 hours waiting time was on our own to do what we wanted to do. We missed some of the experience and I paid the whole day tour. I’m demanding for refunds because the your itinerary that was provided was incomplete due to language barrier and communication errors.
Dubai in a day.

Excellent tour that gave a flavour of Dubai for those that have a limited time in Dubai. Very good value for money.
Love Burj Khalifa Top and city tour

Everything was memorable to us a family and we enjoyed every minute of it. We will gladly share our experiences to both family and friends alike.
One day tour of Dubai
Rui_P, Mar 2024
It was a good one day tour to get a good impression of the city. I would skip the islamic art centre as it is mostly aimed at getting you to buy some local arts and crafts. Also, when visiting palm Jumeirah I'd allow more time to explore the views close to hotel Atlantis.
A must do tour in Dubai

Awesome tour with a great guide
Anup_D, Mar 2024
Navi was amazing as a guide and the audio was excellent with history and present of Dubai . Well planned stops and places too
Scammy Tour
Miguel_M, Mar 2024
The tour was very rushed and you basicaly just visit shopping malls or stores whose owners know the tour guides. The tour guides will tell you to trust a specific when you visit the souks, but make no mistake, you will be even more scammed in the prices here. I payed 200 euros for two low quality hijabs unkowingly because I trusted them. You will also not learn anything about Dubai or have time to enjoy each place since you are always on a rush. Will ask for money back.
Great day tour
Ankona_B, Mar 2024
Great day tour. Our driver Naveen was very knowledgeable. We went to Burj Al Arab, a beautiful mosque, Old Dubai markets, Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, Palm Jumeraih and Dubai Marina. For those visiting just for a day this tour is a must. It is a full 12 hour tour.
Overall great!
Carolyn_N, Mar 2024
The tour was great - lots of highlights! Loved old Dubai - strongly dislike the staff in the shops! Frankly a big turn off! Won’t recommend that part of the experience - the staff are annoying - and pushy - and rude - not fun!
Excellent tour.
Ahcene_F, Mar 2024
Climbing in "top" of Buj Khalifa tower (level 124). Riding the monorail. And wonderful other attractions.
Excellent
Harjit_B, Mar 2024
