Review: Welcome to the Big Bus Sightseeing Tour of Dubai

Your open-top tour reveals Dubai’s landmarks and charts the city’s rapid development from a small fishing village to a modern, vibrant city.

On the Day Tour, you can chose a 24 or 48 hour ticket and enjoy free inclusions such as the Dhow River Cruise and Dubai Museum. Both Day Tour routes provide a personal recorded commentary available in eight languages.
The Big Bus Sightseeing Tour is a safe and relaxing way to discover this great city; the perfect introduction to Dubai and a fun day out for all.

Rest at Exit Gate

Rather than taking a taxi straight to the Hotel which we cannot check-in, we would rather take a rest and wait for Suboh Prayers.
