Top Dubai Day Trips - page 3

This was a full day Dubai tour which covered many of the main tourist attractions. Some stops were brief, but fine if all you wanted was photo opportunities. The Burj Khalifa stop is fascinating, but be prepared for a long queue if you arrive at the wrong time. We were quite lucky, apparently. The time spent in The Dubai Mall was purely for food. This suited me as I'm a non-shopper. With 2 000 outlets and 14,000 parking spaces, you can imagine the size of this place. The trip across the Dubai Creek was very enjoyable. There, we strolled along an old gold souk. Again, it was interesting if you're into that type of thing. The area of the Burj Alarab is very pleasant with a fantastic beach. We didn't enter this 7* hotel, just viewed it from a point handy for our excellent driver, Jared. The Dubai Marina is also a good stop. The skyline is incredible and the Marina is constantly on the move with private yachts, water taxis and pleasure boats entering and leaving the area. Plenty of cafes etc in this area. The trip was made all the more enjoyable by Javed, our very knowledgeable guide and driver. He gave us very full descriptions etc of each area we visited. He was very pleasant, helpful and courteous. If it's possible to request him for your driver I would recommend him. Just be prepared for the odd traffic jam! Sundays have the lightest road conditions.

Great experience and excellent value for money! Our guide was helpful and communication was clear throughout! We all had a great time. My top tip would be if you have any questions about anything (Ie quad bikes which aren’t included) ask the guide, as it is a bit overwhelming when arriving at the camps with all sorts going on but he helped us and could tell when we needed a bit of guidance! Great experience the fire show was fantastic, as was the dune bashing!!

We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Saif! He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, kind, and patient throughout the entire trip. He answered all our questions thoughtfully and made every part of the tour enjoyable and stress-free. We truly appreciated his dedication and warm attitude. Highly recommended!
