Hatta Adventure

The Hatta city tour was a wonderful experience. Kayaking at Hatta Dam was peaceful with beautiful mountain views. The visit to Hatta Honey Bee Garden and Discovery Center was interesting and informative about honey production. Hatta Wadi Hub offered exciting activities and a great place to relax. Overall, it’s a perfect mix of nature, adventure, and culture—best for group tours and couples.

A Whirlwind Half-Day Tour of Dubai: Highly Recommended!

If you are short on time but want to get a comprehensive overview and feel for the city, this excursion is phenomenal. Dubai is truly an impactful city, and this tour managed to hit all the most important landmarks efficiently. It was perfectly paced, giving us a great general idea of the city's ambition and history without feeling rushed at any point. The highest praise, however, must go to our guide, Lijo. He was simply fantastic! Lijo was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely engaging, sharing numerous fascinating facts and curiosities about the country and the rapid development of Dubai. His insights made the journey much richer and more interesting than simply looking at the sights. If you have a limited window of time in Dubai, booking this specific half-day tour is the perfect way to make the most of your visit.

Highly Recommended Dubai City Tour

We booked a Dubai City Tour at the travel desk at the Fairmont The Palm hotel and it was well worth it. Our tour guide named Lijo provided an excellent experience, providing insightful information which gave us valuable knowledge of both new and old Dubai. Lijo was very patience whilst we shopped at the many shops at old Dubai, particularly Gold Souk. Lijo also provided us with water and got us a private Abra boat. Thank you Lijo for everything, you are truly great!

Operator response

Dear 145kamt, We are thrilled to hear that your Dubai City Tour exceeded your expectations! It’s wonderful to know that our staff’s insightful commentary helped you discover both the modern and traditional sides of Dubai, and that their patience during your Gold Souk shopping and thoughtful touches made your experience truly special.

Great tour and experience

We booked a half day City Tour with a visit to Burj Khalifa. Ali from New Horizon Travel and Tour’s was our driver and was very friendly and polite. Thorough in his descriptions of the sites and gave us plenty of time to walk round or take photos, giving us clear instructions of timings. We loved the Old Town. Ali took us to the entrance of the Burj Khalifa which we loved, he met us after - just as well as the Dubai Mall and car park is massive. Thank you Ali loved our trip
