The city's most iconic experiences — from the top of the world's tallest building to the skyline seen from the sky and the sea. Or pair it with a desert safari in Dubai.
Dubai's attractions turn a good trip into an unforgettable one. Beyond the desert, the city offers some of the world's most ambitious experiences — and we've gathered the very best in one place, each bookable with instant confirmation.
Ascend the Burj Khalifa for a view over the entire emirate, see Palm Jumeirah and Downtown from a helicopter, race the coastline on a jet ski, or drift through the towers on a Marina dinner cruise. Pair any of them with a desert safari for the full Dubai contrast of dunes and skyline.
How much do Dubai attractions cost? Tours start from AED 150 per person for the 2-hour Marina dinner cruise and AED 170 for Burj Khalifa At The Top (1.5 hours). A jet ski ride is AED 330 for 30 minutes, and a helicopter tour is AED 850 per person for a 12–25 minute flight. Pickup is flexible on the cruise, jet ski and helicopter — our team confirms your time by WhatsApp after booking.
Prefer a guided day out with a local expert? Our Dubai and Abu Dhabi city tours cover the souks, mosques and palaces that these standalone attractions leave out.

How to Plan Your Dubai Attractions Itinerary
Dubai's top sights are spread across the city, so grouping them by area saves hours. Spend one day in Downtown for Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall and the fountain show; one day on the coast with a jet ski tour near Burj Al Arab and an evening Marina cruise; and one afternoon in the desert on the evening desert safari.
If you have four days or more, add the historic side of the city on our Dubai city tour and a day trip to the capital on the Abu Dhabi city tour. Adrenaline fans should look at the helicopter tour and quad bike tour.
Most sights are busiest on Fridays and Saturdays and from December to February, so book key tickets a few days ahead. Official event listings are on Visit Dubai. Outdoor activities are best in the morning or late afternoon from May to September, when midday temperatures pass 40°C. Ask us and we will build a day-by-day plan around the Dubai attractions you care about most.
