Dubai City Half-Day Sightseeing Tour

Enjoy pickup in from your centrally located Dubai hotel and relax in your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle on the way to your first Dubai city stop, the striking sail-shaped Burj Al Arab hotel. Located on the sands of Jumeirah Beach, on an artificial island, this luxury hotel is the fourth tallest in the world, at 1,053 feet (321 meters).

Stop for a photo opportunity, then continue with your guide along the shoreline to Jumeirah, one of Dubai's upmarket residential areas.

See the winding lanes that lead to hidden courtyards and the mud-brick homes topped by traditional wind towers, designed to catch cooling offshore breezes.

Next, visit Al Bastakiya’s old Al Fahidi Fort, home to the Dubai Museum, and take in views of the cannons, turrets and fortified walls. Then cross Dubai's central waterway, Dubai Creek, in a traditional water taxi called an abra – a must-do activity in Dubai!

On the Deira side of Dubai Creek, soak up the colors and perfumes of the spice souk. Then enjoy free time to shop for souvenirs or glimmering accessories in Dubai’s legendary gold souk before you return to your hotel.
