This a great way to see Dubai at night. The buildings are beautiful by day but are gorgeous at night. This tour has a live guide who added a lot of interesting information about the buildings. We found that although the fountains show near the Dubai Mall is not included, you can arrange to go to the last two shows... More

Since the city of Dubai is so large, my husband and I decided that a Big Bus Tour would be the best way to see it all. The day started well since there is a shuttle bus from the Hilton Jumeirah Beach to the Souk Madinat, which is one of the regular stops of the Big Bus. The Blue route... More

We only had 2 days in the city, so we spent one day hoping on and off the buses. It was a great way to spend the day and we feel like to managed to see most of the city in that one day. The tours are very well run, with a bus arriving every 20minutes. It's up to you... More

Never try to walk from 1 stop to another when you sightseeing the BLUE route (most of the stops), its a very far walk. Always try to allocate the Big Bus counter and check with the ladies about the pickup points as there is no signage is shown.

I'm a big fan of bus tours in cities I visit & my Dubai experience didn't disappoint. The map is extremely helpful with the highlighted routes so you can plan your landmarks/historical site visits accordingly. We conveniently boarded the Big Bus next to our hotel with the Wafi City Mall stop & the hop on/off feature is effortless. The bus... More

I had the opportunity to do both loops (City loop & Beach loop) on my recent trip to Dubai. Jumped on, and it was an easy and comfortable ride. Takes you to the city's most important locations and gives a good overview of the city. Beach loop takes you all the way into Jumeirah and drops you off at Atlantis... More

As well as being able to see the whole city, hop on and off as required, the price includes a visit to the museum, a walking tour of the old city, souks etc, a Dow cruise and ferry crossing over the river, it really is well worth doing.

Nice people, super complete tour, quality buses (outside and/or AC), a great view of the city... And you can spend your time where you really want to. The Hop on hop off system is perfect for that.
