City Sightseeing Dubai puts you on an open-top double-decker bus that loops past the city's main sights at your own pace. The ticket covers three routes, Red, Blue, and the Sunset and Night Tour, with hop-on hop-off privileges at more than 24 stops.

The Red Route runs through Old Dubai, past Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, Al Seef, and the Gold and Spice Souks, then on to Dubai Mall, Burj Khalifa, and Atlantis, The Palm. The Blue Route takes in Madinat Jumeirah and the Dubai Marina Promenade, while the Sunset and Night Tour covers the same skyline after dark. You can sit on the air-conditioned lower deck or climb to the open-top upper deck, and pre-recorded commentary in 12 languages plays through a headset at every seat, with a separate kids' version in Arabic and English.

If you have more time, a Full Day Dubai City Tour or a Big Bus Tour Dubai covers the city at a similar pace, and a Helicopter Ride in Dubai offers a different way to see its landmarks.

  • Hop on and off at over 24 stops across Dubai, from Old Dubai souks to Downtown skyscrapers.
  • Choose from three routes, the Red Route, Blue Route, and Sunset and Night Tour, to match your schedule.
  • Sit on the air-conditioned lower deck or the open-top upper deck for uninterrupted views of the city.
  • Follow pre-recorded commentary in 12 languages, plus a kids' version in Arabic and English.
  • Pass landmarks including Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, Atlantis The Palm, Madinat Jumeirah, and the Dubai Frame without leaving your seat.

Fab way to fit in a lot of sightseeing when you're short on time

5/5

Our guide Ali Basit was fantastic and so was our driver Amjad. It was a full day of hopping on/off bus, abra and monorail, plus some walking in between. We kept to the time and were able to cover a lot of sights in Dubai. I would recommend this to anyone who is short on time but want to see as much of Dubai as possible.

Great site seeing tour option for the summer

5/5

Our guide Sakali was very friendly and knowledgeable. We were taken to many interesting places as well as tailored the tour to include places we requested. We were given time to explore and take photos if we wished. Would recommend this sight seeing tour especially in hotter summer months.
