Faced with a layover at Dubai airport? Check out Dubai’s highlights on a 4-hour or 8 hours ( as per selection) private layover tour, with round-trip airport transfers included. Travel in a private vehicle with your own guide and admire spectacular landmarks including the sail-shaped Burj Al-Arab, Burj Khalifa and more. Plus, see the city’s old wind-tower houses, cross Dubai Creek on an ‘abra’ water taxi, and visit the Spice and Gold Souks. With a flexible itinerary and just five miles (3 km) between the airport and the city, it’s an ideal stopgap between flights.

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.

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.

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❤️

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 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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.
