Private Tour: Dubai Layover & Stopover Sightseeing Tour

A wonderful contrast of the old and new Dubai

Our guide was fabulous, he was very informative and tailored the tour to cater for our limited mobility. Great communication before the tour. A very enjoyable and educational experience.

Excellent 4hr layover tour

Had an extremely knowledgeable and excellent tour guide, Anees! As I was on a 9hr transit, he tailored the 4hr tour to fit in the tourist areas of my interest (history, culture, modern architecture) well within the time for me to return to the airport and answered all my (rather challenging) questions on these topics - highly recommended. Orient Tours were very responsive as I booked the tour 2 nights before Christmas, and they arranged accordingly. Do note that it can take some time to pass immigration - provision 1-1.5hrs (unless you’re fast tracked) if you’re entering the UAE for the first time.

Not a LONG time but an UNBELIEVABLE time!

We had an AMAZING DAY in Dubai thanks to Tahir and our driver! We are seasoned travelers who specialize in doing A LOT with LITTLE time and Tahir was up for the task. We saw ALL of the places we asked for and more. With his depth of knowledge, photography skills, and our style of humor, we all had the absolute best time! Leaving was hard, but it didn't feel like goodbye. That's the sign of an exceptional experience with an experienced professional. THANKS SO MUCH❤️ - Rhonda and Marjorie - Celebrating a 50th Birthday in style We would do it all over again in a heartbeat. He is an AWESOME photographer as well- he captured moments that we could never have gotten on our own.

I took a 4 hour Dubai...

I took a 4 hour Dubai sightseeing tour with Tahir. This guide was super knowledgeable, accommodative, and reasonable. We packed a lot in the four hours time frame. I wish I had more time to continue on, I had such a good time. Pick up and drop off were very convenient and on time which is very important for layover passengers like me. I would highly recommend this tour option and shall I be back in Dubai, I’ll reach out this operator to go and see Abu Dabi or do a safari and dinner deal. Thanks Tahir!

Knowledgeable guide and great tour

Loved it! Perfect way to spend a long layover getting to know the city instead of stuck in the airport. Faisal was excellent and very knowledgeable on the history of Dubai.

Great Dubai taster

This tour was perfect to give you a taste of Dubai when you have limited transit time. My tour guide Saqib was very informative and helpful. he even got to the pickup earlier for me as my flight arrived early. Saved me hanging around as I was on my own. Would recommend this tour to anyone who has some time to fill during transit. Will definitely be returning to Dubai for a longer stay!

Great stopover tour with Chamil and Hussain

We had a fantastic stopover tour with Chamil (tour guide) and Hussain (driver). Chamil was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about Dubai and the UAE more broadly. Hussain was a great, safe driver. They were both easygoing and professional, and everything about the tour was smooth from start to finish. Also, the car was comfortable and kept very cool which was deeply appreciated on a hot summer day. I would 10/10 recommend Orient Tours. We are so happy we didn't decide to spend our long layover in the airport!

Great city tour!

We loved our tour with tour guide Chamil & driver Santhosh. They tried to give us the best experience and helped us get a good insight into Dubai life. Would reccommend this tour to anyone who has a layover of 10+ hours.

Worth the expense during a layover!

The tour is a bit expensive, but I definitely think it's worth it. In 4h we were able to see Dubai's top locations not only by car, but with several stops to enjoy and see it properly and take great photos. Which was perfect for our 9h layover. We know some other people who had the same layover that went on their own to explore and weren't able to see 1/3 of what we saw. So if you really want to make the best of the layover and truly see Dubai, I would recommend this tour, as we saw both the new and modern side, as well as the old side with the souk and more traditional part, and even had time to get on a taxi boat. Plus our tour guide Nimesh Kumara was extremely friendly and so knowledgeable of Dubai's history and facts. We left not only with a sense of seeing several top spots, but also with a better idea of what Dubai is all about.

Jam packed Dubai layover tour

We had a 13 hour layover in Dubai and decided to spend some of that touring since we had never been. Diana and Kishore picked us up from the airport and gave us an amazing experience. The tour is organized in such a way that you get some of everything. Very efficient. We experienced both old (Al Fahidi) and new (Palms) Dubai. One of my favorite experiences was riding the Abra over to the souks to shop for spices. Diana is so incredibly knowledgeable of Dubai and UAE both historically and culturally. She is also an amazing photographer who made sure we got great pics for our memories. I learned a ton and plan to come back to Dubai to visit based on this tour.

A must for layovers!!!

Had an amazing experience. The driver knew so much history about old and new Dubai we felt as if were were there for 2-3 days not 7 hours. Would highly recommend!!

Beautiful tour

The tour guide and the driver were excellent. He was very knowledgeable and took us on an amazing tour of Dubai

10/10 loved it so much!

The absolute BEST tour by Waseem & Kishor! The add said 4,5 hrs hrs, however, it took over well and truly 5+ hrs. They take you to so many places including the Burj Khalifa, spice and gold souk, boat ride, the Kings palace, traditional UAE houses and multiple restaurants, the famous palm tree island and so many more stops! We even dressed up in traditional clothes, just for free. We had a 9 hr layover and were travelling with 3 kids, and this tour was the best we could have imagined. My family loved every bit! Thank you Washeem & Kishor.

Great choice for layover or stopover!

Did a quick tour with Nimesh. It was great! He was very knowledgeable and pointed out key landmarks as we drove around the city. Professional and knowledgeable guide. For a short stay, Nimesh gave us a great overview and taste of key aspects of Dubai. Highly recommend!

Excellent opportunity to explore Dubai in one day

The tour is an excellent opportunity to explore Dubai in one day. Our guide Mehul was very knowledgeable and polite. He took us to the best points to take pictures of the main attractions and customized the trip in accordance to our requirements. Highly recommended.

Dubia tour

Our driver and tour guide were wonderful .Very knowledgeable and respectful of our time commitment. Would strongly recommend the Orient tour

Dubai half a day tour

Vehicle was very roomy and comfortable Driver and guide were very helpful, knowledgeable and flexible

Perfect Laytover Time Filler

This was the perfect solution for a long layover. It gives you the opportunity to see and learn about the amazing city of Dubai and its evolution.

Best tour experience ever!

Our guide, Wallace was absolutely wonderful. We were picked up on time at the airport and from the moment we were in our private van, we felt safe and well taken care of. Wallace immediately began to answer questions and explain what we were seeing around us. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the sights, history and culture. He was friendly and kind and took us to the best spots to photograph us with the important sights we were being shown. The quality is his tour was excellent because Wallace had a plan but was also open to our desires to stay longer or shorter at different locations. He was very accommodating when we asked to stop and get a bite to eat. He went over and above his job description and we can’t recommend him and this tour more highly!

Regina was iformative, congenial, accommodating and efficient. The driver ?Habib was also effective and timely. I was picked up at my hotel right on schedule, and dropped off at the airport with plenty of time to catch my flight. Overall, a memorable experience.</p>

Sehr zuverlässiger Service, super geguidete Tour

Wir haben kurzfristig unsere Flüge umgebucht, um einen Stopp in Dubai zu haben. Ebenso kurzfristig mit problemloser Buchung und Zahlung habe ich Viator gefunden. Sehr vertrauensvoll hatte ich unmittelbar nach Buchung die Bestätigung und einen WhatsApp-Kontakt zur individuellen Abstimmung. Die individuelle VIP-Tour mit Orient-Tours war dann genau die richtige Wahl. Zuverlässig getroffen am Flughafen. Individuell im gut klimatisierten Kleinbus sind wir die schönsten Spots angefahren. Wir haben in der Kürze der Zeit viel gesehen, konnten super Fotos machen und haben viel erfahren. Ganz individuell macht Orient-Tours Vorschläge und baut individuelle Wünsche ein. VIELEN DANK. Vor allem wird bestens und angepasst an die Rückkehr zum Airport gedacht, dass der Anschlussflug pünktlich erreicht wurde. Speziell Danke an Sarah für die Tour sogar auf Deutsch. So haben auch die Kinder noch mehr direkt erfahren. Sehr sicherer Fahrer auch - Lob und Danke.

Private Dubai-Tour Halbstags

Sehr gut organisiert, guter Überblick über die Stadt und ein wirklich freundlicher Reiseführer (Nimesh). Insgesamt ein schönes Erlebnis bei längerem Aufenthalt am Flughafen Dubai.

La citta' delle meraviglie

Come riuscire a vedere in una sola giornata le meraviglie del mondo moderno? Basta visitare Dubai e le sue bellezze: Dubai Marina con i suoi grattacieli, The Palm Jumeirah con l'hotel Atlantis affacciato sul Golfo Persico, la "vela " di Burj al-Arab, l'immensita' di Burj-Khalifa che dal 125° piano ti offre una vista dall'alto al di sopra dei grattacieli. Esperienza da fare almeno una volta......

Serviço excelente!

Recolha no hotel à hora prevista, guia muito profissional, simpático e disponível, ótimas condições de transporte.

La experiencia de aprovechar una escala para hacer una visita guiada ha sido un acierto completo

Esperábamos una excursión en ingles y resulto que nos toco una guia hispano hablante por lo que disfrutamos mucho mas. Nos recogieron en el aeropuerto incluso antes de la hora fijada y no escatimaron en tiempo para que viéramos lo mas representativo de la ciudad. La guia fue muy simpática y tenia muy buen conocimiento de los puntos que nos fue mostrando y de los datos mas importantes del pais. Recomendaria sin duda esta excursión.
