What to expect

Welcome to the city that has it all!

Hop on the Dubai bus tour to enjoy panoramic views of the city's dramatic skyline, perfect sandy beaches and the world’s tallest building. Sit back, relax and listen to an engaging pre-recorded commentary to learn more about the city's historical sights and futuristic architecture. The Red Route will take you to Dubai's top places of interest, so you can see everything from the world-famous Burj Al Arab to traditional gold and spice souks. The Blue Route takes you down the coast. Hop on and admire the beaches of Jumeirah, Atlantis the Palm, Ain Dubai, Media City, Dubai Marina, Souk Madinat and more.

For the ultimate sightseeing experience, choose the Explore ticket. Take a guided panoramic tour to the heart of the desert, enjoy a coffee as the sun sets, and interact with camels, falcons and horses, or take the opportunity to have a temporary henna painting tattoo applied. Discover Dubai's huge Atlantis-themed aquarium and explore the mysterious underwater mazes and hidden chambers where you'll encounter exciting marine creatures. At Atlantis The Palm, the Ambassador Lagoon is an impressive viewing panel with awe-inspiring views into the ruins of an Atlantis-themed aquarium. Finally, relax onboard a traditional wooden dhow boat as it glides along historical Dubai Creek, showcasing landmarks like Al Fahidi Fort with entertaining commentary.
