Is a professional guide included in the Dubai Tour Packages?
Yes, all Arabian Destination Tourism City Tours include a professional, licensed, English-speaking tour guide. Our guides are local experts, providing rich historical context (EEAT) and cultural insights into both Old Dubai and New Dubai.
When is the best time to visit Dubai for a city tour?
The ideal time for a Dubai City Tour is during the cooler months, from November to April. Daily tours are best taken in the early morning (9:00 AM) to avoid the afternoon heat and large crowds at popular sites like the Dubai Frame and Souks.
Are hotel pickup and drop-off services included?
Yes, we provide complimentary centralized or hotel pickup and drop-off within all major areas of Dubai, including Dubai Marina, Downtown, and Jumeirah. You will be traveling in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle throughout the duration of your tour.
What is the recommended dress code for the Dubai City Tour?
We recommend comfortable, modest clothing, especially when visiting religious sites like the Jumeirah Mosque, which may require covering the shoulders and knees. Light, breathable fabrics and comfortable walking shoes are best for navigating the city.
How far in advance should I book my Dubai City Tour Package?
We highly recommend booking your Dubai City Tour at least 1-2 weeks in advance, especially during the peak tourist season (November to March) and holidays, to secure your preferred date and time, and to ensure we can arrange tickets for high-demand attractions like the Burj Khalifa.
Are the Dubai City Tours suitable for children and families?
Yes, our tours are family-friendly. We use comfortable, safe transportation, and the pace is generally relaxed. Attractions like the Abra ride, Dubai Mall, and the Jumeirah Beach photo stops are highly enjoyable for children of all ages.
What transportation is used during the city tour?
We prioritize comfort and safety. You will travel in modern, air-conditioned coaches or private vehicles, depending on your chosen Dubai City Tour Package (shared or private tour). Traditional transport like the Abra boat across Dubai Creek is also included.
Can the tour be customized to focus only on New Dubai or Old Dubai?
While our standard packages offer a comprehensive blend, we offer Private Dubai City Tours that can be fully customized (Long-Tail Keyword Optimization). You can choose to focus entirely on the architectural wonders of New Dubai (like Marina Mall and Palm Jumeirah) or immerse yourself in the culture of Old Dubai and the Souks.
