Hop On, Hop Off — Explore Dubai by Bus
Enjoy a choose-your-own-adventure mix of shopping, museums, markets, local dining, and more.
A classic for the efficiency-conscious traveler, the hop-on, hop-off bus never goes out of style. Audio recordings in 12 different languages accompany you on your journey around Dubai's breathtaking monuments, from the towering Burj Khalifa to the gold-leafed interior of Burj Al Arab. Need a closer look? Just hop off and explore to your heart's content. Once you've seen it, done it, and selfie-d, you can rejoin the tour wherever you like (buses arrive at each stop every 30 minutes).
