Dubai City Tours

Dubai City Tours is a tour operator running guided and self-guided experiences across one of the world's most rapidly transformed cities. Its programme spans the full breadth of Dubai, from the gleaming towers of Downtown and the sail-shaped silhouette of the Burj Al Arab to the atmospheric lanes of Deira and Bur Dubai, where the old city retains its trading-port character along the Creek.

Current experiences include a half-day modern city tour with a Palm Monorail ride, a 15-stop sightseeing tour by SUV with hotel transfer, and a guided walk through Old Dubai taking in the gold and spice souks, an abra crossing, and street food. Those preferring to explore independently can use the self-guided audio app. Other options include a guided city tour combining the Dubai Frame, the Museum of the Future, and the Blue Mosque, a classical city tour covering the established landmarks, and both half-day and full-day chauffeur-driven private tours for those wanting a more personal pace.
