Dubai City Tours – Half & Full Day Sightseeing

[ Dubai City Tour Guide ]

Dubai City Tour: See Old and New Dubai in a Single Day

Dubai is a city of contrasts – wind-tower houses and spice souks on one side of the creek, glass skyscrapers and man-made islands on the other. A guided Dubai city tour is the easiest way to see both in one trip, without worrying about taxis, parking or opening times. Three Brothers Tourism runs private half-day and full-day sightseeing tours with hotel pickup, a live English-speaking guide and prices from AED 549 per group.

Half-Day vs Full-Day Dubai City Tour

The half-day city tour (4–5 hours, from AED 549 per group) is an efficient loop of the big landmarks: Downtown Dubai and the Burj Khalifa (exterior), Dubai Mall and the Dubai Fountain, a Palm Jumeirah viewpoint, a photo stop at Jumeirah Mosque, and the Dubai Creek and Gold Souk area. It suits travellers with limited time or families with young children.

The full-day city tour (8–9 hours, from AED 799 per group) is our complete Dubai experience and includes Burj Khalifa – At the Top entry. Along with modern Dubai, you explore Old Dubai in depth: the Al Fahidi Historic District and Dubai Museum area, an abra crossing on Dubai Creek, the Gold and Spice Souks, Palm Jumeirah and the Atlantis viewpoint, plus a lunch stop at a local restaurant. It is the best-value sightseeing option if you want to see everything in one day.

Landmarks You Can See

Why Choose a Private City Tour?

Our city tours are priced per group, not per person – the air-conditioned vehicle and guide are just for your family or friends. That means no waiting for other guests, a flexible schedule and the freedom to spend longer where you like. Your guide knows the best photo spots and can recommend places for lunch. For larger groups we arrange bigger vehicles at the same simple group pricing.

Best Time for Sightseeing in Dubai

From October to April the weather is perfect for walking through the souks and old town. In summer we recommend an early start, so outdoor stops happen before the midday heat and the tour finishes at indoor attractions like Dubai Mall. Mosque visits are planned around prayer times, so your guide will adjust the route if needed.

Planning Tips

Pair Your City Tour With Other Experiences

A half-day city tour fits perfectly with an evening desert safari on the same day. On another day, take our Abu Dhabi day trip from Dubai to visit the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, or end the evening with a Dhow Cruise dinner. See all Dubai activities & attraction tickets or browse every tour.
