The idea of the Dubai Frame is to serve as a frame (literally) that symbolically captures views of old Dubai on one side and new Dubai on the other. It also functions as a museum & observatory: you move through galleries showing Dubai’s past, then go up to the sky deck to see the present, and there are exhibits envisioning Dubai’s future.
Jumeirah Mosque, located on Jumeirah Beach Road in Dubai, is one of the city’s most beautiful landmarks built in traditional Fatimid style. Opened in 1979, it’s one of the few mosques in the UAE open to non-Muslims for guided cultural tours. Visitors can explore its stunning architecture and learn about Emirati culture through the “Open Doors, Open Minds” program.
Marjan Islamic Art Gallery in Dubai (Jumeirah 3, Villa No.49, Al Yaheel Street) displays a wide collection of Islamic art including handmade carpets, lanterns, gold-frames etc.

One of the good experiences. My family took a tour with them

We booked the Dubai Half-Day City Tour expecting a professional sightseeing experience and an opportunity to learn more about Dubai’s culture, history, and landmarks. Unfortunately, the tour was overshadowed by a lengthy shopping stop at Marjan Art Gallery, which was presented as a cultural or museum-like attraction but appeared to function primarily as a sales showroom. A significant amount of time was spent there, and visitors were subjected to persistent sales pressure to purchase perfumes, saffron, artwork, dates, chocolate, and souvenirs. The driver appeared familiar with the shop staff and reassured us that the prices were reasonable. However, after comparing prices elsewhere in Dubai, we found that several products, particularly the perfume oils and saffron, were sold at prices far above comparable market prices. What disappointed us most was the lack of transparency. We booked a sightseeing tour, not a shopping tour. Had we known in advance that such a substantial part of the excursion would be dedicated to a sales presentation, we would have chosen a different tour. To be fair, after we raised our concerns and informed the company that we were considering reporting the matter to the police and consumer protection authorities, we received a partial refund of €70. While this gesture was appreciated, it did not fully address our concerns regarding the pricing and sales practices. Our recommendation to future visitors is to be very cautious during the shopping stop, compare prices elsewhere before making any purchases, and not feel pressured into buying anything. Dubai itself is a fantastic destination, but this tour experience left us disappointed and did not meet our expectations of a genuine cultural sightseeing tour.
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to respectfully clarify a few points regarding your tour. At the time of booking, we informed you that we operate private tours and do not offer sharing tours. The tour price and itinerary were provided in advance, and there was never any obligation to purchase any products during the tour. Regarding the visit to Marjan Art Gallery, this location is a regular part of our city tour itinerary. Our driver also informed you upon arrival that the gallery offers various products for sale, but any purchase decision was entirely at the discretion of the guest. Neither our driver nor our company forced or pressured you to buy any items. In fact, during the tour, you specifically asked our guide where you could purchase items such as saffron, perfumes, and other local products. Based on your request, our guide brought you to a location where such products were available. The pricing and sales policies of independent shops are determined solely by those businesses, and we have no control over the prices they charge. After the tour, you expressed concerns about the purchases and suggested that our company was receiving commission from the shop. We would like to clarify that such assumptions are incorrect. Nevertheless, despite the matter being outside our direct control, we made every effort to assist you. As a goodwill gesture, we first offered a complimentary airport transfer. We also proposed helping you return the purchased items to the gallery and facilitating communication with the shop. However, this solution was declined, and a refund of €200 was requested, which exceeded our ability to compensate for purchases made directly with a third-party business. Even though we were not responsible for the pricing of the products purchased, we still provided a refund of AED 300 as a gesture of goodwill and in the interest of customer satisfaction. We always strive to provide the best possible experience for our guests and regret that this situation affected your overall impression of the tour. We appreciate your visit to Dubai and sincerely wish you all the best in your future travels.
