Our city tours show you the best of Dubai and Abu Dhabi in comfortable, guided day trips with hotel pickup included.
Table of Contents
Guided day tours that unpack the story of the Emirates — from Dubai's souks and skyscrapers to the palaces of Abu Dhabi. Or pair it with a desert safari in Dubai.
Our city tours are the fastest way to understand the UAE's astonishing transformation. With an expert local guide, you'll move from historic quarters to modern icons, hearing the story behind each landmark along the way.
The half-day Dubai City Tour covers old and new Dubai — Al Fahidi, the souks, an abra ride, the Burj Khalifa and Palm Jumeirah. The full-day Abu Dhabi City Tour visits the breathtaking Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the Corniche and the capital's palaces. Both pair perfectly with an evening desert safari.
How much does a Dubai city tour cost? The half-day Dubai City Tour is AED 130 per person and runs about 5 hours. The full-day Abu Dhabi City Tour is AED 199 per person over roughly 10 hours. Both include free hotel pickup and drop-off, with your exact time confirmed by WhatsApp after booking.
Looking for standalone experiences instead of a guided day? Browse our Dubai attractions — Burj Khalifa tickets, helicopter flights, jet ski rides and the Marina dinner cruise.

Which of Our City Tours Should You Choose?
If it is your first time in the UAE, start with the Dubai city tour. In one guided day you see the historic Al Fahidi district, cross Dubai Creek on a wooden abra, walk the spice and gold souks, and then switch to modern Dubai with Jumeirah Mosque, a Burj Al Arab photo stop and a drive along Palm Jumeirah. It gives you your bearings for the rest of the trip.
With an extra day, our Abu Dhabi city tour takes you to the capital for the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the Corniche, Emirates Palace and a stop on Yas Island. It is a long day, but the air-conditioned vehicle and licensed guide make it easy.
For views, add Burj Khalifa At the Top tickets or a helicopter tour. For an evening out, the Dubai Marina dinner cruise pairs perfectly with a daytime city tour. Many guests combine city tours with a desert safari on another day, so they see the souks, the skyscrapers and the dunes in a single trip.
All city tours include hotel pickup and drop-off from central Dubai, a professional English-speaking guide and bottled water. Dress modestly for mosque visits — shoulders and knees covered — and wear comfortable shoes for walking in the souks. Tell us your hotel and preferred date, and we will recommend the best mix of city tours for your schedule.
