Useful Information
Private Tour: Dubai City Half-Day Sightseeing Tour
After pickup at your centrally located Dubai hotel, relax in your comfortable private vehicle and learn interesting facts about the city of Dubai, as well as the emirate of the same name, from your private guide as you start your city sightseeing tour.
Head first to Jumeirah Beach, where you'll get a great view of the striking sail-shaped Burj Al Arab hotel, one of the tallest hotels in the world, at 1,053 feet (321 meters).
Continue along the Jumeirah Beach shoreline to Jumeirah, one of Dubai's upmarket residential areas. With your private guide, wander through winding lanes and hidden courtyards, and take in views of the mud-brick homes topped by traditional wind towers, designed to catch cooling offshore breezes.
Back in your vehicle, head to Al Bastakiya's old Al Fahidi Fort. Here, visit the Dubai Museum and see the cannons, fortified walls and turrets of the old city.
Next, hop aboard a traditional water taxi called an abra, and cross Dubai Creek to Deira. On this side of Dubai Creek, which is Dubai's central waterway, follow your guide toward the spice souk to soak up the colors and perfumes of the city, and then continue to the legendary gold souk where you can shop for souvenirs or glimmering accessories.
Your tour ends as you are returned to your Dubai hotel.
