Know More about this tour
As you travel, hear fascinating facts about Dubai and its incredible transformation from a fishing port to the city it is today, all since the discovery of oil in the mid-20th century.
Snap photos of the sail-shaped Burj Al-Arab, one of the worlds tallest hotels, and catch glimpses of the soaring 2,716-foot (828 meter) Burj Khalifa, the worlds highest building.
Continue into Jumeirah, one of Dubais upmarket residential areas, and admire Jumeirah Mosque before driving to the Al Bastakiya quarter, home to a cluster of restored courtyard houses with traditional wind-towers. Stretch your legs around the narrow lanes as your guide explains how the towers capture and circulate cool breezes, and hear how the area was first settled by pearl and textile merchants in the 1900s.
Stay on in Bastakiya to visit Dubai Museum, housed in the 18th-century Al Fahidi Fort. Head inside with your guide to chart Dubais history through the interesting exhibits and learn about life here before the oil boom.
Next, board a traditional abra water taxi to sail across Dubai Creek, the central waterway, to the Deira district. Absorb the city views from the water and breathe in the heady aromas around the colorful spice and herb stalls of the traditional Spice Souk. From here, head to the Gold Souk and browse for bargains at the myriad of shops glittering with gold, platinum and gemstones.
Then, when the time comes, your tour ends with a drop-off at Dubai International Airport.

This was the perfect solution for a long layover. It gives you the opportunity to see and learn about the amazing city of Dubai and its evolution.

Excellent overview tour of Dubais main attractions. A few extras were thrown in because we had time it was Saturday and traffic was relatively light. Regina was iformative, congenial, accommodating and efficient. The driver ?Habib was also effective and timely. I was picked up at my hotel right on schedule, and dropped off at the airport with plenty of time to catch my flight. Overall, a memorable experience.

Not enough time to see everything. Too many lines to get to see all the main events.

Our tour guide was absolutely the best! I would HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone! There was a contact person holding up a sign at the airport with our name on it. He connected us with our tour guide and driver. The van was nice and had air conditioning. Our guide listened to our requests and did his best to accommodate our requests! This tour was fantastic!
