Tryp Advisor

Snap photos of the sail-shaped Burj Al-Arab, one of the world’s tallest hotels, and catch glimpses of the soaring 2,716-foot (828 meter) Burj Khalifa, the world’s highest building. Continue into Jumeirah, one of Dubai’s upmarket residential areas, and admire Jumeirah Mosque before driving to the Al Bastakiya quarter, home to a cluster of restored courtyard houses with traditional wind-towers. Stretch your legs around the narrow lanes as your guide explains how the towers capture and circulate cool breezes, and hear how the area was first settled by pearl and textile merchants in the 1900s. Next, board a traditional abra water taxi to sail across Dubai Creek, the central waterway, to the Deira district. Absorb the city views from the water and breathe in the heady aromas around the colorful spice and herb stalls of the traditional Spice Souk. Then, when the time comes, your tour ends with a drop-off at Dubai International Airport.

    You are basically paying for a drive around town and 2x 5 minute photo stops. Don’t forget to ask for your complimentary water if not offered. Be wary of the very overpriced shops driver may take you to.

    Junaid was a very well informed tour guide who very quickly picked up on our interests and helped us get a good understanding of Dubai and the culture and story of its rapid evolution. This is a good way to spend a long layover in Dubai!

    I wasn't sure what to expect for our layover in Dubai- this tour exceeded our expectations! After 2 weeks in Africa we were ready to be home! We had 2 teenagers in tow- both of who also had a fantastic time on our tour of Dubai. Our guide was amazing- showed us all the sites we wanted to see and more! He was very knowledgeable, friendly and flexible. Would highly recommend!
