Here’s an overview of your tour

As soon as you set out of your cruise, Dubai is waiting for you to show you it's fascinating landmarks and cultural gems. And I'll be ready to take you on a private tour to discover the best the city has to offer. Hop on my car and let's go, there's plenty to see! I will pick you up anywhere in town or I'll meet you at Dubai's port to kickstart your experience. All you have to do is sit back, relax, and get ready for a 6-hour tour.

During your private tour, you'll see the many beauties Dubai has in store for you. Explore the residential neighborhood of Jumeirah, be impressed by the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, and how about the instantly recognizable Burj Al-Arab Hotel, one of the luxurious hotels in the world. These sites and landmarks are all part of your shore excursion.

For a bit of cultural enlightenment, come with me to the Jumeirah Mosque with its gleaming white domes and slender minarets. Here, I'll tell you more about Islamic faith and culture and how the mosque became one of the most important of Dubai's landmarks.

Follow your nose through the aromatic spice and gold Souk and take your experience up a notch with a scenic abra ride across the Dubai Creek.

Your next stop is truly amazing! Did you ever imagine that you'd see in the desert a skiing area? Neither did I! So, be amazed by our last stop, Ski Dubai, the first indoor ski resort in the Middle East.

Your tour ends with a drop-off in time at the cruise terminal. And if there's anything that you would like to add on this tour, let me know! I can personalize your tour the way you want it. See you!
