Sep 20265/5Marron Mansoor and Ammar were awesome guides and our driver too.

All in all, a pretty good way to spend some time in the city.Sep 20265/5I went to Dubai with my family in September 2026. The weather was steamy, but Mansoor made everything awesome. He showed us sides of Dubai we never expected, and all his stories about the country's past and culture were super interesting. He even helped us out when we went shopping. Mansoor, you rock. We'll for sure come back to the UAE.Sep 20265/5Visited Dubai in September 2026 with my family. Even with the heat, our tour was really awesome because of Mansoor. He gave us a look at a different part of the city, and learning about the history and culture was really cool. He even helped out when we went shopping. Big thanks to Mansoor—can’t wait to come back to the UAE!
Discover Old and Modern Dubai with ease
This experience is a private half-day guided city tour covering both Old and Modern Dubai. Your booking covers a guided introduction to both Old and Modern Dubai with a licensed English-speaking local guide, along with private transportation and hotel pickup and drop-off within Dubai. Time across the itinerary is dedicated to guided sightseeing and photo stops, so you focus on exploring rather than on logistics or separate arrangements. Entrance tickets, meals, and optional extras stay outside the core inclusions.
Seamless activation
Your confirmation acts as your voucher for the tour. After booking, your voucher clearly lists what is included, along with your pickup details in Dubai. You simply present this confirmation to your guide at the agreed pickup point, and the experience begins from there with private transportation already arranged. No separate app download, attraction reservations, or physical pass collection are required based on the provided information. The tour runs as a single half-day block rather than a multi-day pass. For instance, if your tour is confirmed for 9:00 am to around 1:00 pm, your inclusions, guide services, and transport are valid only within that reserved time window, while any optional paid activities or personal expenses remain at your own discretion.
Additional information
- General info: This is a private half-day guided city tour, not a multi-attraction city pass.
