Dubai tours & experiences
Every tour here is one we run or book directly — desert safaris on the Lahbab red dunes, dhow cruises through the Marina, the old souks of Deira, private yachts and attraction tickets. Prices are per person, and pick-up is included unless the tour says otherwise.

How we plan a Dubai itinerary
Two full days, first visit
Day one: a half-day city tour, then the Dubai Fountain in the evening — the shows run every half hour from six until eleven and cost nothing to watch. Day two: the desert safari, which takes the whole afternoon and evening.
Four days, with children
Break the big-ticket days up. Burj Khalifa early, a beach afternoon at Kite Beach or La Mer, a gentler desert evening without the fastest dune bashing, and a day for a water park.
A week, seeing the country
Keep three days for Dubai, then take the Abu Dhabi day trip for the Grand Mosque, a day in the Hajar mountains at Hatta, and a dhow day into the Musandam fjords across the Omani border.
Questions about booking tours
How far ahead should we book a tour in Dubai?
Between November and March, book the popular evening tours three to seven days ahead — desert safaris and sunset Burj Khalifa slots fill first. From June to September you can usually book the same day.
Is hotel pick-up included?
On the desert safari, the city tour and the Abu Dhabi day trip, yes, anywhere in Dubai. On cruises and attraction tickets it is an optional add-on, because plenty of guests prefer to arrive under their own steam.
What is the best tour for a first visit to Dubai?
An evening desert safari and a half-day city tour between them cover what most first-timers came for: the dunes, the old town and the skyline. Add a dhow cruise if you have a spare evening.
Can you run tours during Ramadan?
Yes. Daytime tours run as normal with some adjustments — live entertainment pauses and eating and drinking in public during daylight is avoided. Evening tours after iftar are often the best of the year.
Do you arrange private tours?
Yes, on every tour here. A private vehicle and guide costs more than a seat on a shared trip, but for families, older guests or anyone short of time it is usually worth it.
