“We bought 2-day passes since we had limited time in Dubai, and drove on both the blue and red lines + took the night tour. The seats were a bit old but overall the ride was comfortable and fun. AC was too strong in the small enclosed section at the top though. Definitely arrive early for the tour to take the best spots.”
