Itinerary

45 min

Your tour starts with a pickup from your Dubai hotel. Relax in your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and listen as your guide tells you facts and stories about this skyscraper-packed city and its recent development.

45 min

Drive along the vast, 16-lane Sheikh Zayed Road, craning your neck to see the passing high rises. Admire Souk Madinat Jumeirah, an extravagant recreation of a traditional Arabian marketplace. Then, view the iconic Burj Al-Arab hotel. The building stands on an artificial island and soars to a height of 1,053 feet (321 meters), making it a must for your photo album.

45 min

Continue to Palm Jumeirah, the man-made island that is one of Dubai’s signature landmarks. Designed in the shape of a palm tree, the sandy archipelago is fringed with luxury villas and exclusive hotels. Drive through Atlantis The Palm hotel — arguably the island’s most famous building — that stands imperiously on the edge of the Persian Gulf.

45 min

Next, head to Ski Dubai, the first indoor ski resort to be built in the Middle East. View its giant ski runs through the glass exterior and learn how powerful snow guns renew the snow on the slopes every night, fresh for the next day.

60 min

Afterward, stop at Burj Khalifa, one of the world’s highest buildings. Dwarfing Dubai’s skyline, this space-age tower stands at a remarkable 2,772 feet (828 meters). Lean back, peer upwards and you might just see the top! Continue to Burj Khalifa Lake to see the Dubai Fountain Show. Stretching across the water, these performing fountains were designed by WET, the company behind the famous Bellagio fountains in Las Vegas. During a show, they put on a dazzling 5-minute display of theatrical sprays illuminated by 6,600 lights and lasers. Watch spellbound as the fountains dance, twist and shoot water high in the air in time to Arabic and classical music. After the show, rejoin your vehicle and finish your tour with a hotel drop-off. Note: Dubai Fountain Management reserves the right to call off the show without prior notice

Dubai's hot spot in 4 hours

Very interesting visit to the must-see places of Dubai, in just four hours, from Burj al Arab to the souks of gold and spices, via the Marina and Burj Kalifa. Our driver, Anees, answered all our questions without any problems. Water was provided! Must do when you have time to kill during an airport transit.

Seeing and learning as much as possible of Dubai, in the limiter time we had

My mum and I went on a private halfday citytour of Dubai. We had the best time. Our guide, Faisal was very knowledgeable and friendly, and besides showing us a lot of the old and the modern Dubai, he was very patient and respectful with my mum too, which we very much appreciated. The views were amazing, the Abra tour was a very nice experience and after our tour we had dinner in a gorgeous restaurant overseeing the fontein and Burj Khalifa. It was a fantastic day, one we will most likely never forget.

Dear 347antoinetteh, We are pleased to know that you had a wonderful experience at the Burj Khalifa and hope to serve you in the future as well. Best Regards, Ms. Noor Ghei Guest Relations Executive Orient Tours LLC

Outstanding 5 with Nimesh and Chamil!

I can confidently say Orient Tours was one of the most memorable travel experiences I've had. A significant part of what made this trip so incredible were our exceptional tour guides, Nimesh and Chamil. Both Nimesh and Chamil made everyone in our group feel welcome and at ease. Their warm, friendly personalities combined with their knowledge of Dubai truly made the experience. I appreciated their flexibility and willingness to accommodate our requests when it came to last minute changes. They always went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time possible. Thank you Nimesh and Chamil for creating an amazing first time in Dubai for me!

100% Outstanding Customer Experience, Worth Every Penny for Lifetime Memories

As a solo and first-time traveler to Dubai, I was extremely pleased with the professional and stellar services I received from Orient Tours, in collaboration with my local tour company from Tanzania, Alfazulu. The team helped me select and narrow down activities and accommodations within my interests and budget before I left my original destination. The process was very straightforward and prompt, given that I had informed them of my arrival only 2 days prior. I had a detailed itinerary and all my activity vouchers sent to me in advance. Upon my arrival in Dubai, I was greeted with flowers and cake! What a treat! Throughout my stay, the team was constantly in touch with me directing me on my pick-up and drop-off arrangements and ensuring I was safe and sound. They went the extra mile to even track my traffic movements with my drivers and requested extra waiting times for activities I was slightly delayed for. Furthermore, the team was exceedingly quick and gracious in resolving any misunderstandings. I was heard and understood without any pushback from the team. I was even lucky enough to receive a generous complimentary offer to watch the La Perle show. I fell sick on my last day and the driver assigned to drop me off at the airport was so kind. He offered me first aid medication which enabled me to have the strength to walk through the airport and board my flight on time. I 100% recommend Orient Tours for any form of travel arrangement, solo or family. They go above and beyond for their customers and the experience is worth EVERY PENNY. A very special thanks goes to Ali Mansoor who was on top of my stay, even guiding me through malls. Ali, you are a superstar! Thanks to Hemalina for your coordination of events. Many thanks to all the amazing drivers and tour guides who shuttled me around, they were all soooo courteous and caring. Last, but not least, to the superwoman who guided my decisions and every move, Vaheeda, you are simply the best. Lots of love to the whole Orient Tours Team from Tanzania who made my stay a pleasant home-away-from-home experience.
