UAE · HOP-ON HOP-OFF BUS TOURS
Distances here defeat walking, which is the whole argument for the buses. The 6 below compare route coverage, how long a pass runs and which ones fold in a dhow cruise or a night tour.
See Dubai’s icons, old souks, beaches, and Palm Jumeirah by open-top bus, with optional dhow cruise, aquarium, Frame, and desert sunset extras.
“Fantastic way to see the City and stop at any interest points to explore. Only problem was the earphones did not work to listen to commentary.”
See Dubai’s old souks, Burj Khalifa, Marina, Palm, and Dubai Creek by open-top bus, with flexible passes and useful cruise extras.
