Dubai in a Day - Full Day Dubai City Tour

Let us show you Dubai in a way that will appeal to all your senses and have you leave with a deep understanding of this city's past, regional command, and emerging international presence. 

In Dubai, everything is bigger and better. It’s home to the world’s tallest building, the largest mall, the biggest indoor theme park, and the largest Ferris Wheel. The city is constantly evolving under the leadership of the visionary Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

At the heart of the glitz and glam, however, is a city with a rich cultural heritage. Dubai first made its name as a fishing and pearling village and as a strategic port on the Persian Gulf. Even with modern developments, the city’s history is still alive in an area where one can savor a cup of traditional coffee, catch a ride on an old-fashioned abra, or shop in the traditional souks.

This city tour will show you the oldest neighborhood of Dubai to the tallest building in the world and is an amazing way to see the highlights of Dubai in a day at your leisure. Each day can be customized to your interests. You also have the option to add on a few other activities like getting on top of the Burj Khalifa or ending the day with a beautiful ride on a yacht, taking in some great views the city has to offer.

Highlights of the tour:

We will start the day walking through the Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood, through the souks. This two-hour walking tour is the perfect introduction to the history and culture of the UAE.
