This was a good tour visiting different parts of Dubai. Tour guide was well informed and pointed out lots on our journey. Some highlights were driving through different areas and viewing different styles of living and visiting places like, Mosques, Palaces, Gold Souks and Spice markets which was good.Also visited the Jumeirah Palm Island and our tour ended up at the Dubai Mall with the option of visiting the Burj Khalifa. Overall a very enjoyable day out.
