Big Bus Dubai is a hop-on hop-off sightseeing tour that covers the city aboard an open-top double-decker bus. Your ticket is valid for 24 hours from first boarding, with unlimited stops across two routes, the Red City Route and the Blue Beach Route.

Onboard, you can sit in the enclosed lower deck or head up top for open-air views as the bus moves between more than 20 stops. The Red City Route runs through Old Dubai's souks and heritage areas before crossing into Downtown Dubai and City Walk, passing Burj Khalifa along the way. The Blue Beach Route continues along Dubai Marina, Jumeirah, and Palm Jumeirah, with stops near Atlantis The Palm, Jumeirah Beach, and Burj Al Arab. Pre-recorded audio commentary plays on board as you travel, and you can step off at any stop to explore on foot before catching a later bus to continue.
