Half Day Dubai City Tour
Downtown Dubai and The Dubai Mall, Museum of the Future, then Jumeirah Beach Road for the Burj Al Arab viewpoint. Suits a short stay or a layover.
Book a private Dubai city tour with a professional chauffeur, in a limousine, SUV or van. Choose a half-day or full-day route past Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina and Dubai Creek. Your driver collects you from your hotel, waits at every stop and brings you back.
Tell us your hotel, date and the places you want to see. We reply with the car and the confirmed price.
Global Excellence Limousine runs city tours in Dubai with one chauffeur and one car for your group. You choose the places, your driver collects you from your hotel, parks at every stop and brings you back, so you spend the day seeing Dubai, not looking for a taxi.
Most visitors lose hours to queues, parking and the midday heat. On our tours, the car waits with the air conditioning on at Burj Khalifa, Dubai Frame or the Gold Souk. You can start early in Old Dubai before the crowds, and finish with the skyline at night. Landing at DXB? Your tour can start from arrivals.
Dubai city sightseeing is spread across five areas: Downtown, Jumeirah and Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Old Dubai and Zabeel Park. Choose the areas that fit your days and your chauffeur plans the order.
Burj Khalifa, Burj Lake and The Dubai Mall are a short walk apart off Sheikh Zayed Road. Your chauffeur drops you at the entrance and waits, so you skip the evening car park queues.
Drive Jumeirah Beach Road past Kite Beach, stop at Umm Suqeim Beach for the Burj Al Arab view, then cross to Palm Jumeirah and Atlantis The Palm for the skyline.
Walk Dubai Marina Walk and JBR Walk, then look across the water to Bluewaters Island. It is cooler after sunset, and your driver waits at the Marina.
Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood and Al Seef in Bur Dubai, an abra across Dubai Creek to the Gold Souk in Deira, then Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum House. Lanes are narrow, so we drop you as close as the road allows.
Dubai Frame stands in Zabeel Park and looks over Old Dubai on one side and the new skyline on the other. It sits between Downtown and Bur Dubai, so it fits any route.
Add a chauffeur day trip to Abu Dhabi for Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Louvre Abu Dhabi, or to Sharjah for Al Majaz Waterfront. Same driver, and you return to your hotel.
Every Dubai city tour runs in a private car with your own driver, never a shared coach. Pick a sedan for couples, an SUV or V-Class for families, or a Sprinter for large groups. Each car is cleaned before the tour and fits your luggage and shopping bags.
