What you'll do

Explore Dubai at your own pace with a hop-on, hop-off bus tour that lets you see the city your way. From the top deck, you'll get to see Dubai's top places of interest - everything from the world-famous Burj Al Arab, the world’s tallest building Burj Khalifa, Atlantis The Palm and the bustling souks of Deira. You'll have the freedom to jump off wherever something catches your eye or sit back and enjoy the full loop with wide, open views along the way.

Two routes make it easy to experience different sides of the city:

City Tour (Red Route): travel through cultural districts, traditional souks and heritage areas. Marvel at Downtown Dubai, home to the Burj Khalifa and the world’s largest shopping destination, Dubai Mall.

Beach Tour (Blue Route): follow the coastline past beaches, marinas and striking waterfront landmarks. Visit Jumeirah Beach, Atlantis The Palm, Ain Dubai, Media City, Dubai Marina and Souk Madinat.

With regular buses throughout the day, you can plan as much or as little as you like. Along the way, you’ll hear pre-recorded commentary (available in 6 languages) sharing insights into Dubai’s history, culture, architecture and rapid transformation.

Your ticket also includes a relaxing Dhow Cruise along Dubai Creek, offering a slower, scenic perspective on the city’s trading roots.
