“Overall it was a good experience and an easy and convenient way to move around and explore. Had fun at lost chambers and the night tour included in the ticket. A couple of issues is that the buses are a bit old, A/C not properly cooling and some of the audio jacks are not working.. Timing wise it was almost always on time except one time that it delayed more than 40 minutes due to heavy traffic.. Also the app is reliable as long as you restart your it on a regular basis.”

Prebook a 2.5 hour Dubai Water Canal dhow dinner cruise with buffet and live music, Burj Khalifa views, optional transfer and drinks.
“An excellent experience, fantastic cruise through downtown, to see all the sights!! Food was A1 as well as the attentive service. Well worth getting the drinks package added, as you get wine by the bottle or 5 beers in an ice bucket, which you can order again if you wish still included in the package.... Certainly has the WOW factor....👍👍👍”

“This trip was organised by Rayna Tours. First things first, at all costs, Rayna Tours should be avoided. Reasons as follows: 1. There was a significant delay in the pick up from the hotel. The trip was supposed to begin at 2:30, it started at 4:30 pm Read more”
Open-top bus lights up Dubai in 105 minutes, then add a dhow dinner cruise and fountain show option. Great value, easy night plan.
“It was a good activity, if you have limited time amd you want to know about the history of dubai and see all the main attractions at night, this tour will work perfectly. It will pick you up from dubai mall bus stop and drop you back there, no hop on hop off. commentary was interesting and informative. it can get quiet windy and a bit chilly in the month of January (thats when I went), so grab a sweater. 🙂”

“We were picked up from our hotel around 6pm and, after picking up other passengers we had to drive for about an hour and a half to reach the dhow. After boarding the dhow we had to wait until after 9pm for the boat trip to start. The boat trip was good - we got to see the illuminated high - rise buildings. The meal was almost totally Indian food and not to our taste but we managed to find a few items we could eat.The bus trip back to our hotel took another hour and a half - we were not back till almost midnight. This is not the…”
Pick the kind of day first, then the best of it.
