WHAT TO EXPECT?

Kick Off the Tour in a Regal Setting 

This Dubai full day tour begins once your driver picks you up from the hotel and transfers you to the tour’s rendezvous spot close to Zabeel Palace, the residence of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai’s ruler and the UAE’s prime minister. Catch the regal architecture and immerse yourself in its resplendence as it ignites the perfect tone for an extraordinary day of discovery in the city.

See the Most Modern Marvels 

As the tour begins, listen to an informative narration of the extraordinary attractions and innovative architecture that make Dubai a dynamic city. Enjoy the chance to immortalize your moments at these sights as you pause for photo ops at the Museum of the Future, with its groundbreaking, ring-like architecture, and the Dubai Frame, easily recognizable for its stunning design resembling a rectangular picture frame. 

Al Bastakiya Exploration, Haggling at Souks, & An Abra Ride 

A stop at Al Bastakiya Quarter will walk you straight into Dubai’s modest past. Get lost in its old-world charm as you navigate its maze of art galleries, museums, etc., all housed within restored sand-colored structures topped by wooden wind towers. You will also sail along the historic Dubai Creek aboard a traditional sailing vessel, an abra, to absorb Dubai’s real essence. Before you leave old Dubai, roll up your sleeves for bargain shopping at Gold Souk and Spice Souk.

Lunch Stop, Mosque Visit, and Photo Stop at Burj Al Arab 

Following a drive through Jumeirah Mosque and Etihad Museum, experience a seamless transition from Dubai’s past to its avant-garde present as the tour shifts to the Mercato Mall for a dining and shopping session. You will head to the Farooq Omar Bin Khatib Mosque; it stands out for its architectural grandeur and purpose: to share Islamic values and foster harmony. The next stop is at Burj Al Arab, where you can capture some fantastic pictures of this celebrated sail-shaped structure.

A Monorail Ride and A Visit to Dubai Marina 

Prepare to experience Dubai’s unequaled modernity on an immersive monorail ride through the breathtaking sights across Palm Jumeirah and the Arabian Gulf. As you deboard the monorail station within Atlantis, The Palm resort, enjoy the chance to explore the resort and glimpse into its waterpark. What awaits you next is photo ops at some of Dubai’s most enchanting places of interest, such as the Zabeel Saray Hotel (for unparalleled views of the JBR skyline), Cayan Tower, and Dubai Marina Walk and Yacht Club (to take in sleek yachts and structures surrounding the marina).

Wrap Up with Dubai Mall Extravaganza  

End your sightseeing amid the jaw-dropping splendors of Downtown Dubai. See the tallest-of-its-kind Burj Khalifa up close and enter the largest-of-its-kind Dubai Mall to shop, marvel at the waterfalls, and appreciate Dubai Aquarium’s thousands of marine exhibits.
