# Half Day Dubai City Tour

**Guidekin's take:** A half-day city tour in an SUV rather than a coach, mixing Burj Al Arab and Palm Jumeirah photo stops with the souks of Old Dubai and room to customise the route. Free pickup, water and a guide are included; tips are not, and the stops vary by option, so check what is visited. 4.94 from 122 reviews at €50 per person for 4h 10m.

In our comparison: #16 of 86 in City Tours & Sightseeing, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).
