Photo Stop: Our visits starts with photo-stops of some iconic hotels such as the famous 7 star Burj Al Arab, and The Palm Island which is home to the Atlantis Hotel respectively.
Photo Stop: Jumeirah Beach is one of the beautiful and exotic beaches where you get to sit and relax, bathing under the bright sun. The beach is a white sand beach that is located in and named after the Jumeirah district of Dubai, which is on the coast of the Persian Gulf. The beach stretches along the coast, south of the city’s historic district to the junction with The Palm Jumeirah, the largest man-made island.
The Jumeirah Mosque, which is large enough to hold up to 1,200 worshippers, was built entirely from white stone in the medieval Fatimid tradition, with towering twin minarets framing a large central dome. When it's lit up at dusk, the intricate artistry and true beauty are highlighted. Stop at Marjan Islamic Art Gallery
Guests will be taken to the Visit of Islamic Art Gallery to showcase the culture and traditional goods and to see the valuable artifacts which can be bought aswell.
Gold Souk in Deira is a famous tourist spot where you can find plenty of shops selling gold and other jewelry.
Photo stop: Zabeel Palace is the home of Shaikh Rashid, UAE’s former prime minister. It is constructed in the Zabeel area, which was formerly just bare land covered with sand.
The Dubai Mall is the world’s largest destination for shopping, entertainment and leisure, located next to the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. Featuring over 1,200 retail stores, two major department stores and hundreds of food and beverage outlets, the mall covers more than 1 million sqm – equivalent to 200 football pitches. Our guide will direct you to the entrance to the Burj Khalifa where you will go at the top of Burj Khalifa and get an Eagle eye experience of Dubai

Umair was a wonderful guide! All of the site’s & activities were great. I thought the day was well planned.
Ahmed, our guide, was excellent—very friendly, professional, and helpful throughout the experience. Khan, our driver, was also very courteous and professional. They both made the experience enjoyable and comfortable. Highly recommended!
Very good experience with plenty of chances to get photos. Guide and audio provided excellent information about Dubai. My only negative was time in mall but it's because I am not a shopper.
The Locations included should have covered a few more Tourist Attractions. And 3 hours time at Dubai Mall is insufficient.
It was a great time touring in dubai through you , good services on time snd explaining nicely with audio and personally
Muhammed Rizwan was awesome. He took us to most of the important sites in Dubai. We started at 8a and got back to Abu Dhabi at 6p. What a trip! We ended up at Dubai mall which happens to be right next to Burj Khalifa. Simply amazing!
It was great value for money. Rizwan was a wonderful, assured and informative guide. Would definitely recommend this tour and this company. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ali did a great job. Nice and interesting tour Ali did a great job. Nice and interesting tour Ali did a great job. Nice and interesting tour
To be honest at one point in this trip I wondered if we were on the wrong bus. The itinerary described on here barely matched the day we had. Our first visit after Jumeirah beach involved sitting in a local “art” establishment, where we sat in a room and got the hard sell on tapestry type stitched artworks varying in price from £150 up to thousands. No mention of this on the itinerary. We then went on and did a few other bits that were as described, however the souk “10 mins” turned into us being dropped off at a local boat taxi on the creek, to be taken downriver to the souk. It was SO HOT! We then had to wait for the guide to catch us up in another boat and were then taken to a shop in the souk which felt distinctly like they had an agreement with the guide to split any profit. We were followed around the shop for 10 mins by a chap who wouldn’t take no for an answer, by which time we just had to leave and get out. The street was so hot and we didn’t want to be there, we signed up for a “pass by”, not 30 mins in there too. Because these 2 unscheduled stops took an hour, we then only had 2 hours to do the Burj Khalifa and the mall, as well as get lunch, again, we thought we were getting 3 hours. The collecting mini bus driver Suhail, was constantly harassing me on WhatsApp asking where we were, and spent most of both journeys from and back to Abu Dhabi looking at his phone and not the road.
Very timely excursion. Kept us informed from the beginning to end. Very precise on the timing. Enjoyed the tour guide's commentary and the attention to details. Burj Khalifa experince was as expected.
I had this tour on May 16th 2025 and I had a lovely time... My tour driver Suhail was very courteous, punctual and very knowledgeable.... Any thing my earphones didn't say Suhail filled in the gaps with facts and information. Would definitely recommend this tour. The tour bus was air conditioned and comfortable and Suhail was a careful and safe driver The mall was gigantic but had fun trying to navigate around it. I would book more tours through Grayline.....
It was a wonderful day with nice people and our lovely guide Suhail He was very kind and showed us wonderful places. Amazing experience...do not miss. Svetlana
There were two different sales pitches thrown in this tour that I wasn't aware of. I mainly booked it for the visit to the Burj Khalifa but we spent so much time feeling pressured during the sales pitches that we barely had an my time up at the top. We arrived approximately 40 minutes later than our tickets said they were for for the 124th floor. Had 2 hours instead of the 3 that the tour says for the Dubai Mall. It would have been better to take the bus up from Abu Dhabi and explored myself.
This is a very busy tour but the audio commentary and Suhail our guide gave us a lot of good information. The stop at the carpet/art place was, as others have reported, not a planned part of the tour and we could have done without, but the rest of it was good, especially the Burj Khalifa. There was a really long gap between toilet breaks though, so be warned!
It was a great trip! Be ready for a long day but it’s so worth it. The views are spectacular and the tour was smooth and insightful. Suhail did an excellent job picking us up from the hotel and guiding us through the city!
Warning, included is an "art gallery" stop which is just an very expensive shop. Not enough time allowed for the 1:50 hours to get into the Burj, plus 45 mins to get down - if you want to eat lunch! Pick up was 8:15, which we thought was to get to the Burj before it got busy. No, this was to allow for a few quick dtops and the 40 min layover at the Art Gallery. Driver was nice but drove like a maniac, full gas between stop signs. 2 of the 4 in our group got car sick. I had to ask him to slow down twice. Bring water and snacks for the van, as its a very tight schedule. I would have booked a Burj only ride and skipped the rest so we could enjoy it all rather than rush. Book SKIP THE LINE tickets.
Your young driver of blue van - wild and dangerous (morning's and evening's) ride in Abu Dhabi - no more !! Good and interesting was ride by bus between Abu Dhabi and Dubai. NIce views and interesting information. Trip in Dubai - no time for anything. All was fast, too fast (10 minutes fotoshooting, next 15 minutes fotoshooting), no time for nice view, visit something, coffee, ... Really lost time...
We booked the experience with visit to Dubai mall and entrance to Burj Khalifa. It was a rushed tour with many photo stops. We were picked up from hotel at 7:30 am and there was no bathroom break until 1:30 pm. We made an unscheduled stop at an art gallery that we could’ve done without. This stop took away time from the Dubai mall, instead of 3 hours, we only had 2 hours which were taken up with the visit to Burj Khalifa. We didn’t even have time to eat at the mall before getting on the bus to leave. I would not schedule this tour again.
A fantastic day out. Our tour guide Suhail was great. Gave us lots of information throughout the day. Excellent tour & excellent guide.
Thank you, Suhail, for giving my son and me a fantastic tour today. You gave very helpful information and took great photos in front of fascinating landmarks including the iconic Museum of the Future. You gave clear directions allowing an easy entry to the amazing Burj Al Khalifa. And you drove us very safely at a nice, sensible speed! Thank you so much for your time! 🌸Kristina & Jacoby

Going stop Burj Khalifa was excellent. Very good stops at spice souk where we were taken to a shop where some of the most exotic herbs were showcased. Would recommend allowing 1 more hour to spend at Dubai mall. Maybe cut the stop over at art gallery
Tour was more about shopping than sight seeing. It can be organized better and more clear information regarding the visiting area can be provided.
Brilliant day trip went as a family from Abu Dhabi to Dubai, Suhail was very knowledgeable and took us to some wonderful sites. Would definitely recommend him
Excellent express tour when you have little time and want to see all the sights of Dubai in 1 day. Guide Suhail will take care of your comfort and tell you interesting facts about Dubai. Thank you Suhail. :)
Suhail was a great guide. He was very accommodating and helpful with any questions that we had. The tour itself was amazing and worth it since we got to see many different places.
A very good tour to see most of the land marks of Dubai❤️Our Guide, Suhail has been very knowledgeable and conducted the tour with great efficiency.
We had a great day, saw all sites including Palm, Jumeriah, markets, 20 min stops for photos. Plenty of stops with restrooms and opportunities to buy snacks. Our guide Suhail was great, very good English and gave us good advice, easy going and made us feel at ease. Headsets given to listen to lots of info on Dubai too. My 2 boys age 12 and 24 really enjoyed it. Loved the trip up to top of the Burj
While I enjoyed the shared trip overall, I believe there is room for improvement in terms of pacing and itinerary planning. I felt that there were not as many points of interest included in the itinerary as I had understood from the info provided. While the locations we visited were undoubtedly beautiful, I would have appreciated a more diverse range of experiences and attractions along the way and a more engaged and informative tour guide could have enriched the experience further. I offer these comments constructively, to enhance future trips and ensure an even more fulfilling experience for all involved.
We booked this trip on the basis of getting a whistle stop day trip to Dubai whilst staying in Abu Dhabi, in hindsight, we wish we'd just got a taxi and done a hop-on/hop-off bus once there. We were unfortunate in that we were the first to be collected, so it felt like we spent an hour in the minivan before meeting the coach for the 2hour drive to Dubai. We cannot fault the tour guide, Suhail, he was very good and knowledgeable. The stops for photos were quick but fine to get the views, however we weren't expecting a half hour stop at a souk - this wasn't on our itinerary and not really of interest to us. And were really uncomfortable with being dropped off at an 'art museum' for half hour where we were sat in room and given the hard-sell on rugs... really disappointing and an absolute waste of time. What was most frustrating, was that these stops meant we didn't get to Dubai Mall until 13:30, and the fountain show during the day runs from 13:00-13:30, so we missed it. We then had to rush to get up & back down the Burj Khalifa and grab some food before getting back on the bus at 15:30, a quick photo stop at the Dubai Marina and we were back on the bus for the 2hours back to Abu Dhabi and the hour trip dropping everyone off again. Overall, we spent hours getting there and back, to see very little. In future, we will pick out a couple of things we want to see, and make private arrangements rather than booking a tour like this one.
Good value, great customer service and amazing agenda planning- thanks for making it a fantastic day Soheil!
I booked the trip for my parents it went well and driver was very helpful. Overall it’s good experience.
It was really a great experience! Well organized and our driver/guide Suhail was patient, professional, kind and very helpful. We enjoined this excursion and we recommend it for having a look of Dubai. Thanks a lot Suhail for making this experience unforgettable!
Although the tour was as described, it does have some failings. It's basically a series of photo stops to see highlights of Dubai whilst be dropped at various shopping outlets. The main worry was the driving. Our driver seemed very distracted on the way to Dubai - rubbing his eyes as though very tired and seeming to spend most of the journey texting on his phone and making a few phone calls, allowing the minibus to weave within the lane. The first souk was fine and very touristy - but if you walk straight through to the far side you get a good view of the Burj Al Arab, which probably beats the later view. Then there's the 'art showroom'. Why? Dropped in a unit that looks like the store room of a local rug store, marshalled into a small display room and the handless door is pushed shut behind you whilst the salesman hard sells intricate hand made rugs. After insisting we play 'guess the price' he finally revealed a cost of £7,000 or €10,000 (interesting exchange rate) for the first rug he'd shown us, but said for that he'd arrange delivery to anywhere in the world. We had to do a non-English thing and walk out whilst he was talking else we thought we'd never escape. My advice - when the van stops at the art store don't go into the building. Arriving at the Dubai Mall about 13:00 and told we'd be collected 17:15, we were given our tickets for the Burj Khalifa and left to our own devices. We walked inside and almost instantly found paper maps. We probably did need this amount of time there to allow for getting up and down the tower, having a couple of drinks and an explore of the mall. This meant we arrived back in Abu Dhabi around 19:00, much later than expected after our 08:30 start and messing up dinner arrangements. Basically, there's too much to see and do in a day trip so this is a quick snapshot and a trip up the Burj Khalifa. But the local driving and that art shop I could do without.
This was a great trip! Lots to see and do. The Burj Khalifa is breathtaking and the Dubai Mall can take you hours to see everything. Worth every dollar.
Was a veri nice tour and Rizwan guide was a smarrt man, very funny, a lot of knoledge and information. Thank you for lot I ll be back, of course

Today i did Dubai tour from Abu Dhabi tour is very nice with Rizwan tour guide he IS super man and i like tour and recomended this tour.
Good option for visiting Dubai from Abu Dhabi. Many must-see places in only one trip. Recommend using this tour
we had a great and amazing day in Dubai with Suhail, we stopped at the major sights and had great views, we got a lot of interesting infos about Dubai and had an exciting time at the burj khalifa top and in the Dubai mall.
Our Dubai Day trip was fantastic! Suhail, our guide, accomplished the difficult aim of giving us a taste of the main attractions of Dubai. Thank you Suhail!
The driver was extremely nice and we are overall happy we went on this tour. However, there was a few things. I feel like the stops were a bit rushed especially the souk and the mall and burj kalifa in combination I could have spent a little bit more time on. I feel like it would have been nice to have given a map of the mall to make sure we'd find our way back to the car from the mall. So on that note I would give the tour 4 stars. But the craft store I really feel like I could have been spared. The reviews on the place are not very good, and I to me it was an uncomfortable experience. The salesmen/women were just too eager. They followed you around and kept trying to push products on you - to me it was quite stressful. I realise it is a matter of cultural relativism, but we talked to other participants about it, because I could tell the other lady was obviously uncomfortable too and we both went back to the car early because of it. Had we skipped this and seen something else or just stayed longer at the souk, I'd probably have kept it at 4 stars.
It was an amazing experience. The tour guide Suhail was very professional and patient when we had to stop a few minutes more in some places. He explained the history of the attractions and much more. Definitely recommended.
We had a wonderful time, our driver and guide Suhail was very helpful and nice. We learned a lot during our drive
