Your Experience
This tour offers a full-day guided exploration from your hotel to another, taking in iconic sites such as Old Dubai, the Creek, the Blue Mosque, Burj Al Arab, and Dubai Mall. Enjoy lunch included during this complete journey.
Morning: Exploring Old Dubai on Foot and by Water
Starting with a pick-up from your hotel, you'll first visit the Museum of the Future for an ideal photo opportunity before crowds gather — note its distinctive torus shape adorned with Arabic calligraphy. The tour then leads to the old city via Abra across the Creek, followed by stops at Spice Souk and Gold Souk. Your knowledgeable guide will share insights beyond narration, pointing out noteworthy stalls, pricing systems, and families who have been trading for generations. After a leisurely browse, you'll proceed to Oasis Mall for lunch.
Afternoon: Discovering the New City's Iconic Sites
The afternoon segment begins with post-lunch transportation to Zabeel Saray Hotel on the Palm for another photo opportunity before continuing past the Blue Mosque (Farooq Omar Bin Khatib Mosque). This mosque, one of Dubai’s largest, features stunning blue tilework that appears even more impressive up close. Next is a stop at Burj Al Arab where you'll enjoy an exterior view from the causeway. The tour concludes with a visit to Dubai Mall, where your guide will lead you through highlights including the 140-species Dubai Aquarium and position you near the massive 32-metre internal waterfall — weighing in at 650 tonnes within a structure that also houses an Olympic-size ice rink. Your journey ends after exploring the fountain show area.
