Dubai Old and Modern City Tour with Blue Mosque Visit

Great tour and guide.

Riah was a fantastic guide and gave us so much information about the city and the places we were visiting. I loved the contrast of the old and new. This is great tour to do early during your visit so you can circle back to areas that you’d like to see more of.

Dubai first-timer must-do city tour

The trip was absolutely worth it. We got to see so many important landmarks and historic key places of the city. Our guide Hossam did an outstanding job by sharing us key facts of the places in perfect Spanish. He made the trip funny and entertaining too. His patience is admirable. I totally recommend such experience if you are a first time visitor in Dubai!

City Tour avaliation

Very Good tour guide e City tour. Hossam was very kind and explained very patiently and kindness tô everyone. Goodyear opportunity to learn about The city and country story. Very recommended guide

Superb tour of New & Old Dubai

We had Hassan as our tour guide. He was very personable and attentive to our needs, especially to our elderly mother. He kept us relaxed and informed of the local tradition and history. I loved the visit to the Blue Mosque, the water taxi and ending our day at the Heritage restaurant with a traditional Arabic coffee and dates.

Amazing tour in Dubai

I had a very positive experience with this tour, thanks to Riz, my guide. He Is a very kind guy, professional and well prepared about the history of Dubai. Every stop has been described by Riz with history and fun facts, I had time to view, take pictures, do shopping without being in hurry but respecting the time schedule. Riz took care about me especially because was very warm outside and also because was my very First day in Dubai. I kindly recommend this tour and my guide.

Excellent!!!

The whole tour was excellent! Our tour guide Mohammad Iqbal is very resourceful and his clear explanation gave us factful information and wonderful experience.Iqbal gave us information about the normal price of souvenir and other stuff before visiting market so we are relief from getting overcharge in the market. He took some nice photos for us as well. He explain about some dubai famous places even these are not inside the package. Being in tour with Iqbal was the best tour ever!! I booked different tour packages with different tour providers in my dubai trip but I can only recommend OceanAir and Iqbal as a tour guide. Package was excellent. Every mentioned scene was covered in a short time with good experience. Thumbs up and fully recommend.

I will definitely come back again!

This is my evaluation of this trip. Time: We were picked up at the hotel earlier than the scheduled time. Each segment of the itinerary was well arranged, with enough time to stroll around and take photos. Itinerary content: The car will get on and off at the safest and most convenient place . We went to the beach with the best view, in front of the guard post of the Burj Al Arab Hotel, took pictures near the Future Museum, had 40 minutes of free time at the spice market, and experienced at the mosque. Finally, we stopped to experience coffee, dates and delicious Arabic bread in a busy restaurant (we have our own room to rested comfortably with the air conditioning) Tour guide and driver: They cooperated very well, the car was clean and comfortable, and offer free cold mineral water. Our tour guide "Oussama" was very attentive in introducing the scenic spots we passed throughout the whole process, and took the initiative to help us take the most precious photos. Except for the free time in the spice market, his mouth, hands, and feet never stopped helping us. There's a member of the group who was relatively incompetent, he would very considerately find a chair for her to sit on (because she had to sit on the floor). Until the end, he would confirm that we could continue to rest in the restaurant as we had the next trip and made arrangements for our next trip to meet up before leaving. My thoughts: This is a highly recommended local travel company. It is very convenient to purchase itineraries online. Remember to download WhatsApp app to make contact. I had a great experience and will definitely use this company again if I have the opportunity in the future. A good tour guide is the most precious treasure of a travel company!

Amazing

The tour was amazing our tour guide Igbal wad absolutely wonderful. From the moment we got on the bus to the end of the tour he was fantastic. We got to experience another side of dubai that was breathtaking. Hands down the best tour we did in Dubai.

A must go guided tour

We had an amazing time on our tour. It was raining on the day, which was a bummer, but our guide, Mohammad Iqbal, did his best so we would not miss anything. The tour takes us to see the famous hotels, followed by going inside an mosque (which was such an enlightening experience) and then to the Utensil, Spices and Goos souks (markets in arabic) and it ends with a great arabic coffee in a local restaurant in old Dubai. Mohammad Iqbal, our guide, had the patience to educate us on arabic culture and answered all our questions. Thank you Iqbal, for your time with us.

Dubai half day tour was totally worth it

Iqbal is an excellent tour guide and I thoroughly enjoyed the half day Dubai tour. He was quite knowledgeable with the history, sights and culture. The tour was welcoming , friendly and fun.

Great tour

We had an amazing time on our tour. Our guide A. Hassan was very personable and informative. We learned alot about local cultures. He also takes great photos.🙂 We will be trying out the restaurant where we stopped for dates before we leave.

Very nice experience

Was very nice experience with our guide Riah. Was before in Dubai but not in the old city. Recommend to book this toor especially on last minute.

Fantastic day touring Dubai

Amazing tour taking in all the major sights with the entertaining and knowledgeable guide Hassan. We joined a wonderful small group for a tour that had everything, and we can definitely recommend the lunch option - it was delicious- set in a private dining room in a traditional house.

Over expectations! Perfect

It was a great experience with A.Hassan. He described all history very well . He is a really experienced and friendly guide. Thank you so much

Good experience

A. Hassan was very experienced guide. We were very satisfied. Thank you so much for everything see you next time in another tour

Totally recommend

Fantastic! One of the best trips I had. I’m traveling solo and for me it was very exciting and the guide explained everything

A day not to be missed in Dubai

What excellent value gor money this trip was, we got to do & see so much in the half day tour. Our tour guide Fesal was absolutely fantastic, he was so knowledgeable and went over above and beyond for us. We would highly recommend this tour. The only thing I'd I'd have liked to have more time in the Souks

Informative Tour

Booked this half day tour of Dubai on Viator and could not recommend it enough. We were collected from the hotel in a clean, air conditioned car by our Tour Guide Maaz Khan, who kept us up to date with regards to pick up via WhatsApp. Maaz then took us to all the areas listed on the itinerary, talking us through the history of Dubai throughout the tour and answered every question that was asked. Maaz was very informative, and definitely has a LOT of knowledge about Dubai, and was a nice person too. He was also good at photography and took plenty of photos of me and my partner - some good memories to cherish. Thankyou!

DUBAI OLD TOUR

The guide Hassan perfect,all visited places wonderfuls,a great experienced.To be recommended the tour and the Guide.

A Brilliant introduction to Dubai with Oussama

What a fantastic trip this was. Don’t hesitate to book it! We were in Dubai during disruptions due to to the storm floods and Ocean Air Travels were brilliant in keeping us up to date with pick up times etc during ongoing problems with road traffic. They also made sure we were safely dropped off back at our hotel and put in more hours than was provisioned for the trip. We visited the Point and got great photos of Atlantis and then had a similar set up for views of the Burj Al Arab via the modern souk building. Visiting the blue mosque was a beautiful experience and our fantastic guide Oussama taught us so much about life in Dubai and the Islamic culture. We then visited the old spice and gold souks with a fabulous trip across the creek on one of the old traditional boats. We visited the heritage centre and had coffee and dates whilst learning more about the growth of Dubai over the last few decades. Finally we had time to visit inside the Dubai frame and take in the great views. Then Ali our driver braved the flooded roads and horrendous traffic jams, using his skill to get us back to the hotel as quickly and safely as he could. Well done Ali! Our main guide Oussama was incredible throughout and was knowledgeable, courteous and professional. I hope you are lucky enough to have Oussama as your guide if you do book this trip. Well done Ocean Air!

Good Tour

I received Whatsapp messages from 3 different numbers before pick up which was a little confusing but in the end it was a very easy hotel pickup. Hamza was a great guide for the half day tour. Very knowledgeable and happy to help take photos. He was also very flexible in arranging drop offs after the tour - whether to the hotel, or a subsequent tour location.

Full Dubai Tour (Tour Dubái al completo)

Our guide was Hassan who made us live a very intense, enjoyable and fun experience. Very friendly and attentive to all the details.

Great deal

Great tour with local Guidelines from Hassan good places visited and timely organised I would recommend the good photos made by Hassan great guide

Amazing tour of Dubai’s top sites with Hamza!

A memorable tour of Dubai’s highlights beautifully delivered by Hamza who is super knowledgeable and very friendly. Thanks again!

Best city tour ❤️

Hamza, an engaging and knowledgeable tour guide from Algeria, made my experience in Dubai unforgettable. His delightful sense of humor made me feel at ease, while his willingness to accommodate personal detours, such as my shopping excursions, was truly commendable. He expertly managed our group, ensuring everyone was content and engaged. Hamza’s extensive knowledge of Dubai and its surrounding areas was impressive. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a remarkable and well-informed tour.

Wonderful, Insightful and well-organised tour

The tour has been really an experience that will be remembered, full of activities, places to visit and insightful tips re. history of UAE. Fesal, the tour guide, has been really great during the entire trip, with very accurate explanations relating to the places we visited, history of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Islamic religion as well as activities we did. He was full of enthusiasm and willingness to make us enjoy the tour as much as possible. Without him it wouldn’t have been the same. I’d really suggest anyone to take this tour, including especially the guide .

Wonderful half day tour in Dubai

Best choice for a long transfer at Dubai airport, this half day trip includes most of the major tourist spots. Also, the tour guide Sameh introduced all the details and some tips. Would love to visit Dubai with such tour.

Voltaremos com certeza!

The trip was once again fantastic, but it was our guide A. Hassan, who speaks impeccable Portuguese, as well as being extremely kind and friendly, that made the experience unforgettable. I highly recommend it and if you speak Portuguese, look for Hassan.

Excellent tour with lots of photo opportunities

Excellent tour. We visited Dubai for the first time and the tour gave us a good overview of the city and its attractions. We selected the private tour and our guide Zeeshan was so knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, that it was a real pleasure. We definitely can recommend the tour.

Great tour!

This was a great tour and Hamza was an excellent tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and gave great insight on the city and natives of Dubai. Very informative and made sure we all had a good time. I appreciated all the pics he took with our cameras at each stop.

Private tour dubai

The service provided by the guide Hassan was impeccable, honestly shot the best guide and tour I had in the stay in Dubai. Very cordial, attentive, great knowledge and a lot of care and affection with my family and my son. When I return, I will directly seek his services through the company he represents.

Best Guide Ever!

Top notch from start to finish. Zeeshan was the best guide we have ever experienced. He was attentive, knew all the best photo spots, and was so informative. We had such a great day!

Great tour in Dubai

Zeeshan was an excellent tour guide very helpful and knowledgeable about Dubai made the day fun and made sure we were safe and careful with shopping.

Interessante

5 star guide.knowledgeable… available interested and always available for customer satisfaction.highly recommend try

Unforgettable Dubai tour with exceptional guidance

Amazing tour that covered a wide variety of sights across Dubai. Zeeshan was an incredible guide; informative, humorous, and hospitable. The tour went slightly longer due to flooding in Dubai, but Zeeshan and the driver were constantly evaluating new routes to still get us to our photo opportunities in a timely manner. Also very helpful in the souks; ensuring everyone paid a fair price for perfumes and spices, and he even knew we couldn't purchase some due to biosecurity in New Zealand!

DUBAI TOUR WAS AWESOME!!

The tour was great!! Despite the traffic but overall I had a great time. Our tour guide Ramadan German was the best. He was very knowledgeable and very interactive with group, made sure we got great pictures for memories. I highly recommend this tour and Ramadan as your guide

Exploring Dubai & Landmarks

I really enjoyed the tour today. The places we visited were definitely an adventure. Our guide Ramadan was great on his knowledge of Dubai & it’s history. The food & the freshly squeezed pomegranate juice was very tasty. My second time here but my first tour of the city & I would definitely recommend this tour to family & friends if they ever plan to visit this beautiful country.

Will not recommend to take City Tour , don’t spend your money

It was our first time in Dubai and we expected to see main beautiful points of Dubai . However the tour looked like photo session ,,in and out’’type . We stoped for 10-15 min in area next to Palm took few pictures then we went to area where we can see Atlantis from outside 10-20 min , then The tour guide took us to the Mosque, not really attractive touristic way and we spent there ONE Hour , The Gide was explaining us how people in Emirates are praying and traditions in Mosque.. Our 14-16 kids were not enjoying the tour that supposed to show all attractive and cool points on Dubai (City beauty ) After that stop we visited bazar . Would highly recommend to shop by yourself and don’t follow your guys advises since they will charge you 50-70%more then usual . After that we stuck in traffic for 50 min and missed Frame tour and Old Town tour because the schedule was mixed up and we couldn’t finish by time that was promised and we had reservation for dinner that we barely made even though the dinner we booked 3 hours after we supposed to finish the whole tour .

Very nice tour

The guide Hassan was very friendly and helpful. He was very kind and cheerful. Everything was good. The program was nice.

Money worth It

Our tour Guide ZEESHAN is really cool and knowledgeable about Dubai. He shares history, giving us trivia and answer our questions about Dubai. There’s no dull moment during the tour. Plenty of time to take pictures and enjoy the view. The driver of our bus is also good.

Great Tour!

I booked this tour the morning of and it was simply amazing! Exact pick up time , the knowledge and information that was provided during the tour. Understanding how much we should pay in the spice or gold market was invaluable. Thank you so much Hassan/ OceanAir, I am looking forward to touring with you and your company again . Latoya & Family

Very Good Experience

Good experience as this was our first time to Dubai. Most impressed with Oussama and his driver. Very knowledgeable and engaging.

Dubai city tour 4/15

The Dubai City tour was great. Ousamma did a great job explaining the culture and history. He's also a great photographer. I9

Great trip and wonderful food

The tour is really worth it. Our guide A. Hassan was very attentive and shared with us a lot of details that made the whole visit more enjoyful. The food was amazing and we really appreciated the visit to the blue mosque

Old and new Dubai

Having hotel pick up and drop off made it so easy. The tour was a good overview of old and new Dubai and Fasil our guide was very personable and knowledgeable and made the tour enjoyable.

Exceptional Experience with the Charismatic Guide Hassan

Our experience with guide Hassan has been wonderful. He has been attentive to our needs, providing us with a wealth of information and displaying a charming personality. Hassan's expertise in his work is evident, and he has offered valuable advice for local shopping. We highly recommend Hassan as a guide and are grateful for his exceptional service

Excellent tour experience with Ocean Air travels

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour, all thanks to Mr. Zeeshan, our tour guide. He was highly organized, friendly, and well-informed, ensuring our comfort and enjoyment throughout. He also took great photos of us at every tourist spot. I highly recommend Ocean Air Travels for their professionalism and excellent service.

Taxi in a group

The tour brings you to The Point, Burj al Arab, Museum of the Future and the Blue Mosque. But you only can take pictures from outside. At the souk you get off the minibus and have 45 minutes to walk around by yourself. During the time in the bus our guide was telling a little bit about life in the Emirates that was the best part of the tour. All the stops at tour points you can do by taxi which is more individual. As taxis are cheap in Dubai that will cost you not more money.

Best tour in Dubai

Our tour guide was amazing and knowledgeable. Great personality! Fesal went above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable, heard and acknowledged. He was very kind to my son as he always tried to have a response to Fesals group questions.
