Popular Sightseeing Tours in Dubai Marina

Reasonably priced and a fun trip. The communication is pretty low though. Upon check-in, nothing is explained. Just given a piece of paper and told "sign". Then nothing. No explanation of how long we are waiting, where to go, what to expect, absolutely nothing. After about 15 minutes, they said "come" and walked toward the beach. Motioned for us to get on a smaller boat and took us out about 100 meters to a bigger boat and then motioned for us to get on. After loaded, they take off out into the bay blaring hip hop music at an insane volume. It was just my family of 4 and 1 other lady. They never once asked or cared if we wanted music or the volume. Again, no verbal interchange at all. After about 15 minutes we stop and he motions for us to stand and puts harnesses on us. We had no choice but to go up tandem, even thought that was never mentioned. We get strapped in and the ride was enjoyable. Poor communication and poor explanation of solo vs tandem options.

There was great communication throughout the process of excursion. The tour guide picked up my wife and I promptly from our hotel and took us to the dessert destination. We started off with the dessert tour (please advice that you shouldn't either eat too much or go on an empty stomach as the motions of the car can make you feel sick). The driver was attended enough to ensure all passengers in the car are happy. after the tour we had a BBQ lunch and a few traditional dancer shows to keep us entertained. we also had the chance of smoking shisha (if your into that and handling falcons, which was rather interesting. followed by camel riding and pictures with the baby camels. Overall this was very much value for money. and I most certainly would recommend this again. I have to give an extra thank you to Iklaq who was the tour guide who looked after all passengers including myself who were in his vehicle :)

The 2 guys that ran our tour were so professional, friendly and fun. They made the trip a great experience - and the whole boat was laughing and having fab time. They helped everyone to get great pictures, made us all scream in delight at their driving skills and boat tricks. It was brilliant as well that they gave everyone water throughout the tour. I would highly recommend this tour - it was just FANTASTIC - well organised and a great experience. They also were very informative about all the sights we saw.

This is a good way to see both the old Dubai and the new (modern) Dubai in one day. There are 3 different routes that together cover Dubai. The commentary provides useful information on the history and culture of Dubai and the UAE. Note that together the three routes take about 6 hours to get through without jumping on and off. At unexpected times of the day there can be traffic on some of the routes. There was live English commentary on one of the buses along the red route.

One of the important think to see Dubai is marina tour over the water so we took this tour and it has become best of our trip. The speed boat is wonderful with wonderful crew. The crew was very friends and had lots of knowledge about what we were seeing during the crew. They captures wonderful videos to capture wonderful moments,
