I wish I could give more stars greater than 5. It was a wonderful, exhilarating, amazing experience. It exceeded up and beyond my expectations. Everything was great, the accommodation, food, transportation, varied activities, the knowledgeable tour guide(Ayaz Ahmed), PCR, pick up to and from the airport, and more. I have recommended this tour to my friends who saw our pictures on Facebook. Keep up the good work. Thank you very much. Myrna Amadora Feb. 20-26, 2022

Explore Dubai & Abu Dhabi 4 Nights 5 Days

Amazing tour in Dubai! We were able to explore majority of the tourist attractions within 3 full days. From the meet and greet at the airport, to the hotel location, and the tour itineraries, the amount I paid exceeded my expectations. I’m happy that it’s not a fully guided tour. I get to do my own exploration of the city.. I already recommended this tour to my friends!

Stars of Dubai - 6 days Tour

Stars of Dubai - 6 days

All of the tour guides were excellent and very knowledgeable. My only issues were that we paid for a 5 star hotel and we got a 4 star hotel. I let a representative know about this hotel discrepancy and nothing was done or corrected. It was never addressed. Also, we were not informed that we would not be seeing certain listed sites until I asked why we didn't see them. I was then told they were closed due to Covid. Those sites are still listed in the online brochure and thus included in the price.

What people love about Dubai Tours

Sehr viel gesehen, sehr gute Organisation, gutes Essen, ausgezeichneter Reiseleiter, insgesamt sehr zufriedenstellend. Allerdings: Beworben wurde die Reise mit einer maximalen Gruppengröße von 20 (!), was ein wesentliches Motiv für die Buchung war. Tatsächlich war die Gruppengröße 39 - 41, also doppelt so groß!!!! Wie vertrauenswürdig sind eigentlich die Angaben zur Reise? Wäre die Gruppengröße mit max 40 Personen angegeben gewesen hätten wir diese Reise NICHT GEBUCHT!
Tour bus audio system wasn't working properly so couldn't hear what tour guide was talking about.

Everything in Dubai promises to be the biggest and the best. The city-state is a one of a kind wonderland where gravity-challenging structures reach to the skies and ambitious mega projects displace seas to shine in the Dubai sun. Dubai’s ostentatiousness is the magnet that draws tourists in throngs from near and far. Lavish malls that are impossible to traverse in a day call out to shoppers to cash in on scandalously fantastic retail deals at the much-awaited Annual Dubai Shopping Festival. Bargain hunters for gold come away satisfied with the price and quality they desire at the Gold Souk. For the adrenalin rush, a Dune bashing tour, riding out steep dunes with a 4-wheel drive is just the thing to do. Remember to ask your Dubai Tour Guide for the complete package, with the graceful moves of a belly dancer providing entertainment at a Middle Eastern feast laid out in the desert. Dubai is undoubtedly the most liberal of the Emirates; waterparks, unparalleled hotels, pubs and restaurants offering an enviable assortment of international cuisines along the walk at JBR are testimony to the successful venture of making a Dubai a truly world class city.

I'm Eman, I have a passion to present my unique experience in my Country. A local ( Emirati) tour guide I grew up and live in Abu Dhabi.

The country can really surprise anyone, you can find here different types of nature, great dishes, and amazing places (such as tallest tower in the world burj khalifa, largest shopping mall i. e dubai mall, the one and only 7 star hotel i. e burj al arab, and old town). As I've traveled around the entire country, I discovered the beauty in each region as well as the Arabic culture and history. I will be delightful if I will have a chance to show you my country's best sides.

What to Do in Dubai: Your Ultimate Guide to the City of Gold

  • Dive deep into the world’s most immersive underwater experience at Deep Dive Dubai.
  • Elevate your perspective at Aura Skypool, the highest infinity pool on the planet.
  • Bask in the mesmerizing charm of the Jumeirah Mosque.
  • Journey through the colorful lanes of the Dubai Spice Souk.
  • Witness the spectacle of the Dubai Fountain, the tallest fountain show in the world.

Dive into the Deep Blue 🌊

Deep dive dubai.

Dubai doesn't just reach for the stars; it dives deep too! Deep Dive Dubai is the world's deepest pool, plummeting to a depth of 60 meters. Boasting a sunken cityscape and holding a staggering 14 million liters of water, it's a haven for diving aficionados. And if you're into movie magic, there's a fun tidbit: the pool doubles as the region's largest underwater film studio! Remember to pre-purchase your tickets for this underwater wonderland.

Reach for the Skies 🏙

Aura skypool.

Ever wanted to swim among the clouds? The Aura Skypool in The Palm Tower lets you do just that! Located 200 meters above ground, it offers a 360-degree view of Dubai's iconic skyline, including sights like the Burj Al Arab. And that’s not even the best part. The statistics from the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM) state that Dubai attracted a whopping 16.73 million tourists in 2019. Why? Attractions like these play a significant role!

The Burj Khalifa

Speaking of skylines, no visit to Dubai is complete without marveling at the Burj Khalifa. Standing proud at 828 meters, it's the tallest building globally and a testament to human ingenuity. As Egyptian novelist Ahdaf Soueif once reflected, "Dubai is... after all, a lonely, transitory place. It's hard to maintain relationships when people are always coming and going."Yet, this skyscraper has permanently etched its mark on the city's horizon.

Cultural Wonders and Gastronomic Delights 🕌

Jumeirah mosque.

Embrace the serenity of the Jumeirah Mosque, the only mosque in Dubai welcoming non-Muslim visitors. Admire its majestic white stone architecture and enrich your understanding of the Emirati culture through guided tours.

Dubai Spice Souk

Step into a sensory wonderland at the Dubai Spice Souk! This vibrant market teems with spices, lanterns, souvenirs, and more. From the fragrant aroma of saffron to picturesque views of the iconic Burj Al Arab, this souk encapsulates Dubai's essence.

Thrills and Spills 🎢

The dubai fountain.

Set against the sprawling Burj Lake, the Dubai Fountain shoots water up to 500 feet, dancing gracefully to melodious tunes. With several shows scheduled daily, it promises a sight you won't forget!

Aquaventure Waterpark

Craving a splash of adrenaline? The Aquaventure Waterpark is your playground! With over 30 slides, the longest lazy river in the Emirates, and even up-close encounters with marine life, it's a day of thrill-packed fun!

Explore Dubai: An Oasis of Wonders

Dubai, an emirate in the United Arab Emirates, has rapidly evolved into a global city and a business and cultural hub of the Middle East and the Gulf region. The city that emerged from the desert now offers a range of activities, sights, and experiences, some of which we'll explore below:

1. Skydive Dubai

If the thrill of free-falling over Dubai at 120 miles per hour appeals to you, look no further than Skydive Dubai. Novices need not worry, as they can experience this adrenaline rush in tandem with the company's seasoned guides.

For those with a skydiving license, solo jumps are an option. For a unique perspective of the city, a tandem flight from Skydive Dubai is a must.

2. The Dubai Mall

Boasting the title of the world's largest mall, The Dubai Mall attracts nearly 100 million annual visitors. Navigate through its expansive space featuring over 1,200 shops - an ideal respite from the desert sun and a haven for luxury shopping. Its global appeal is evident, drawing more international tourists than iconic destinations like New York City and Los Angeles.

3. XLine Dubai Marina

For a different kind of adrenaline rush, XLine Dubai offers an urban zipline experience. Launching from a height of 560 feet and reaching speeds up to 50 mph, riders travel from Jumeirah Beach Residence to Dubai Marina, flying over highways, skyscrapers, and pools. The aerial views are simply unforgettable, and those seeking shared thrills can opt for tandem rides with friends.

4. Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood

Journey back in time to witness pre-1971 Dubai. The Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood showcases traditional structures made from stone, palm wood, gypsum, and teak. For history enthusiasts and architecture aficionados, wandering these narrow, winding pathways is akin to stepping into a bygone era. Far removed from the bustling cityscape , this maze-like neighborhood offers an evocative slice of old Dubai.

5. Dubai Creek

One of the most authentic experiences in Dubai is a ride on an abra, a traditional wooden boat. Docking on both sides of Dubai Creek - Deira and Bur Dubai - these boats offer a serene glimpse of everyday life in the emirate. While primarily used by locals as a swift means to traverse the creek, tourists too can partake in this tranquil journey.

Located at Dubai's cultural heart, Al Seef juxtaposes the city’s rich past with its dynamic future. The 1.1-mile stretch along Dubai Creek is bifurcated into two distinct zones representing Dubai's evolution. Wander through its enchanting alleys, indulge at diverse eateries, or simply relax and observe the creek's lively tableau.

7. Ski Dubai in Mall of the Emirates

Contrary to its desert locale, Dubai houses the world's third-largest indoor ski slope within the Mall of the Emirates. This chilly attraction , buzzing with families and kids, offers more than just skiing – from tubing and penguin encounters to the Snow Cinema. While it doesn't rival the slopes of Vail, it's an unexpected winter wonder in the heart of the desert.

8. Burj Khalifa

Dubai's skyline is dominated by the world's tallest structure. The Burj Khalifa, rising 160 stories, offers breathtaking views from its observation deck. To fully appreciate its majesty, book your tickets online and brace yourself for an elevator ride that culminates in a panoramic vista of Dubai.

9. Dinner in the Sky

Elevate your dining experience – literally – with Dinner in the Sky. Enjoy gourmet dishes while suspended high above Dubai, making for an unforgettable culinary adventure.

This eclectic mix of activities, both modern and traditional, ensures that Dubai caters to every traveler's whim and fancy. Whether you're seeking adventure, shopping, history, or luxury, Dubai promises an unparalleled experience.
