About Dubai

Dubai is the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates. It lies on a creek on the Persian Gulf coast and directly in the Arabian Desert, and its skyline is led by the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building. The experiences on this page cover that range: observation-deck tickets and Downtown attractions, desert safaris with dinner, dhow cruises on Dubai Creek, cruises from Dubai Marina and day trips to the other emirates.

Getting around
The driverless Dubai Metro runs two lines, the Red Line and the Green Line. The desert safaris and the full- and half-day city tours listed here include hotel pickup.
Best time to visit
Winter, when average highs are around 24 °C. July and August are the hottest months.

Frequently asked questions

What is Dubai known for?

The Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, and the Arabian Desert the city sits in. Both are bookable here: observation-deck tickets for the Burj Khalifa, and desert safaris with a barbecue dinner.

Do Dubai tours include hotel pickup?

The desert safaris and the full- and half-day city tours do. Attraction tickets, such as the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Frame and Dubai Aquarium, are used at the venue, so you make your own way there. Each listing says what is included.

Can I visit the other emirates from Dubai?

Yes. The Abu Dhabi Cultural Heritage Tour, the Al Ain full-day private tour and the 6 Emirates in a Day private tour all start with hotel pickup in Dubai.
