Itinerary
When you arrive at Dubai, meet your guide and hop inside your private, air-conditioned minivan. Then, set off on your 4.5-hour city highlights tour.
Along the way, hear entertaining tales about Dubai and its history from your guide, as well as intriguing facts about its architectural wonders. Keep your camera poised to capture the forests of glitzy skyscrapers on route to Jumeirah Beach, the city’s buzzing seaside district. Stop for photos at the instantly recognizable, sail-shaped Burj Al-Arab hotel and hear how, at 1,053 feet (321 meters) high, this Dubai icon is one of the tallest hotels on the planet.
Continue past the swanky hotels and villas of the residential neighborhood of Jumeirah. Take a stroll around the lanes and hidden courtyards, and admire the gleaming white domes and slender minarets of Jumeirah Mosque.
Next, enjoy a scenic abra ride across Dubai Creek to the bustling Spice Souk.
Peruse the colorful wares as you breathe in the heady aromas, and then visit the glittering Gold Souk. Perhaps up some great-value gold and jewelry here before your shore excursion ends back at the cruise terminal or Hotel in Dubai.

My friend and I had the pleasure of taking a city tour of Dubai with Faisal, and I can’t recommend him enough! He was punctual, and his car was spotless. On top of that, he smelled amazing, which was a nice touch! His knowledge of Dubai’s history and culture was impressive, and he made every stop, including the souqs, informative and enjoyable. He answered all of our questions with ease and had a fantastic personality that made the tour so much fun. We’ve kept in touch since, and I definitely plan to book him again on my next trip to Dubai. If you’re looking for an incredible guide, Faisal is the one to book!"

This was an excellent tour for us as we only had limited time in Dubai to see the sights. With this tour we were able to choose what we wanted to see as well as being guided on recommendations provided by the guide. Our guide was Nimish. He was extremely knowledgeable about Dubai and he was very conscious of our needs. We spent a very pleasant 5 hours with Nimish and his driver taking in the sights of this amazing city. I would highly recommend this tour and Nimesh to anyone who is looking to learning more about Dubai in a short time.

Our guide was on time, communication was informative and he answered all our questions. The city tour was great and we got a beautiful overview of Dubai while travelling in an air conditioned car. Travelling by boat to the old part of Dubai to the gold vendors was an experience in itself. We got to see all the major attractions which was great as we only had 3 days in Dubai. Throughly recommend this tour and hope you get our wonderful guide.

Stunning views and a great history of Dubai old and new. Souks were an eye opener for someone with no experience of that style of selling.
