Top Dubai Day Trips - page 42

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.

What a great afternoon & evening. Our guide, Ravi, was prompt and professional all day long. Every aspect of this excursion was fun and fulfilling. So much authentic food was served at dinner, and gazing at the stars afterward in the middle of the desert was a great finish to the night. Highly recommend Heritage for this excursion.

Booking the tour was easy on the app. The tour driver, Zaman was on time, friendly and had loads of patience with us. We reached all our destinations safely, we were well informed about the sites that we saw. I do recommend booking this tour and Zaman.
