Overview

Faced with a layover at Dubai airport? Check out Dubai’s highlights on a 4-hour or 8 hours ( as per selection) private layover tour, with round-trip airport transfers included. Travel in a private vehicle with your own guide and admire spectacular landmarks including the sail-shaped Burj Al-Arab, Burj Khalifa and more. Plus, see the city’s old wind-tower houses, cross Dubai Creek on an ‘abra’ water taxi, and visit the Spice and Gold Souks. With a flexible itinerary and just five miles (3 km) between the airport and the city, it’s an ideal stopgap between flights.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Airport Terminal 3, Dubai - United Arab Emirates

Start your layover tour with a pickup from Dubai International Airport at a time that suits your flight arrival. Hop inside your air-conditioned private vehicle and set off on your tour of Dubai’s highlights. Chat to your guide about any sights you want to see more or less of — as this a private tour, the itinerary can be tailored around you. 
As you travel, hear fascinating facts about Dubai and its incredible transformation from a fishing port to the city it is today, all since the discovery of oil in the mid-20th century.



Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Tryp Advisor, Dubai United Arab Emirates

Snap photos of the sail-shaped Burj Al-Arab, one of the world’s tallest hotels, and catch glimpses of the soaring 2,716-foot (828 meter) Burj Khalifa, the world’s highest building. Continue into Jumeirah, one of Dubai’s upmarket residential areas, and admire Jumeirah Mosque before driving to the Al Bastakiya quarter, home to a cluster of restored courtyard houses with traditional wind-towers. Stretch your legs around the narrow lanes as your guide explains how the towers capture and circulate cool breezes, and hear how the area was first settled by pearl and textile merchants in the 1900s. Next, board a traditional abra water taxi to sail across Dubai Creek, the central waterway, to the Deira district. Absorb the city views from the water and breathe in the heady aromas around the colorful spice and herb stalls of the traditional Spice Souk. Then, when the time comes, your tour ends with a drop-off at Dubai International Airport.

Our guide was fabulous, he was very informative and tailored the tour to cater for our limited mobility. Great communication before the tour. A very enjoyable and educational experience.

Had an extremely knowledgeable and excellent tour guide, Anees! As I was on a 9hr transit, he tailored the 4hr tour to fit in the tourist areas of my interest (history, culture, modern architecture) well within the time for me to return to the airport and answered all my (rather challenging) questions on these topics - highly recommended. Orient Tours were very responsive as I booked the tour 2 nights before Christmas, and they arranged accordingly. Do note that it can take some time to pass immigration - provision 1-1.5hrs (unless you’re fast tracked) if you’re entering the UAE for the first time.

We had an AMAZING DAY in Dubai thanks to Tahir and our driver! We are seasoned travelers who specialize in doing A LOT with LITTLE time and Tahir was up for the task. We saw ALL of the places we asked for and more. With his depth of knowledge, photography skills, and our style of humor, we all had the absolute best time! Leaving was hard, but it didn't feel like goodbye. That's the sign of an exceptional experience with an experienced professional. THANKS SO MUCH❤️ - Rhonda and Marjorie - Celebrating a 50th Birthday in style We would do it all over again in a heartbeat. He is an AWESOME photographer as well- he captured moments that we could never have gotten on our own.

I took a 4 hour Dubai sightseeing tour with Tahir. This guide was super knowledgeable, accommodative, and reasonable. We packed a lot in the four hours time frame. I wish I had more time to continue on, I had such a good time. Pick up and drop off were very convenient and on time which is very important for layover passengers like me. I would highly recommend this tour option and shall I be back in Dubai, I’ll reach out this operator to go and see Abu Dabi or do a safari and dinner deal. Thanks Tahir!

Loved it! Perfect way to spend a long layover getting to know the city instead of stuck in the airport. Faisal was excellent and very knowledgeable on the history of Dubai.
