Top Dubai Day Trips

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was an absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. The heritage desert safari in the vintage Land Rover was unforgettable, and dinner was beautifully done. Our guide, Normand, was fantastic, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely made the experience special. He kept everything running smoothly and created such a great atmosphere for the group. We also lucked out with an amazing group, which made the whole experience even more fun and memorable. Everything was well organized and exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this tour and especially Normand as a guide!

We did the tour and it was great! We had Umar as our guide / driver. He explained different land marks and provided information as we were driving around, which was informative. It was flexible which was nice as we could go at our own pace but still manage to see all the sites. Would recommend if anyone is visiting Abu Dhabi!
