Dubai City Tour with Burj Khalifa Entry from Marina or Palm

The tour starts from 679 AED per booking with a private vehicle and driver, and 1135 AED with a licensed guide who stays with you from pickup to drop-off. That price includes the prime-time Burj Khalifa ticket for the 124th and 125th floors, the vehicle, fuel, pickup and drop-off within Marina and Palm Jumeirah, and the Emirati lunch at the Sheikh Mohammed Centre. Personal spending and any attraction outside the route are not included. The figure is a final total, so there is nothing to add at the end; send your date and hotel on WhatsApp and we confirm it for your group size before anything is booked.

Pickup and drop-off are included from Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah, JBR, Al Barsha, Al Sufouh, Dubai Harbour cruise terminal. If your hotel is outside these areas, book the route for your own zone instead: the same day is run from Dubai Airport and Deira, and from Downtown and Business Bay. Hotels on a border between two zones can usually be served by either; send the hotel name and we tell you which route gives the shortest first and last drive.

A prime-time At the Top ticket for the 124th and 125th floors, with entry at around 4:45pm so you are on the decks as the light changes and come down as the Dubai Fountain starts at 6pm. Prime-time slots are released in limited numbers each day, so this tour should be confirmed at least three days ahead. There is no age restriction at Burj Khalifa; children and older guests go up with the same ticket. The 148th floor Sky ticket can be substituted for a supplement if you ask when booking.

With the driver option, a professional driver takes you between the stops, waits at each one and keeps the day on time, and you explore each site yourself. With the guide option, a DET Dubai or DCT accredited guide travels with you all day, walks you through Al Fahidi and the souks, explains what you are looking at and answers questions on the spot, in English, Russian, Spanish or another language on request. First-time visitors usually take the guide; repeat visitors and families who prefer to set their own pace often take driver only.

Around ten hours, with pickup at 10:00am and drop-off at about 7:30pm after the fountain. Roughly four hours are at the stops, two and a half are driving, and the rest is lunch and the fountain. To finish earlier, skip the fountain and the day ends at around 5:30pm after Burj Khalifa. For a four to five hour private half-day Dubai city tour, ask on WhatsApp and we build a shorter route around your window; the pillar page explains what fits into a half-day from each zone.

Light clothes and comfortable shoes, with shoulders and knees covered for Al Fahidi, the Sheikh Mohammed Centre. Walking comes in short sections: about 30 minutes in Al Fahidi, up to an hour and a half around the creek and the souks, and 45 minutes to an hour on the beach and at Atlantis. Everything else is in the vehicle. From May to September the outdoor stops are kept to the morning and late afternoon and the driver carries water.

Yes. There is no minimum age, child seats are provided when requested at booking, and the pace at each stop is set by your group. The abra crossing and the fountain are the stops children remember. For limited mobility, the vehicle waits at every site and the walking sections can be shortened; Burj Khalifa and the Sheikh Mohammed Centre are step-free, while parts of Al Fahidi and the Gold Souk have uneven paving. Mention any access needs on WhatsApp so the right vehicle is sent.

Stops can be shortened or swapped with your driver on the day, as long as the Burj Khalifa slot is kept. Larger additions such as Dubai Frame or the Museum of the Future need a day's notice so entry can be arranged. A full refund is given for cancellations made at least 72 hours before the start time; no-shows are charged in full. Date changes within that window are free. Tours run daily, including Fridays and public holidays.
