<p>The driver for this tour showed 30 minutes after he said he'd be there. He then drove us over to another hotel where we waited for an hour for a bus. When we were finally on the way to Abu Dhabi it was a beautiful enough drive. We were the only couple on the bus that had purchased the lunch in the Emirates palace so the driver dropped us off in the palace for 50 minutes. How do you eat a nice lunch in 50 minutes? The bus picks us up and we are driven over to the mall where everyone else was having lunch and we have to wait for 30 minutes for them to come out. Would've much rather had that time to finish my lunch. We then go to Ferrari World and was given 30 minutes to look around. Everyone comes out except one person and we all have to sit on the bus for 40 minutes waiting for her. This was very expensive for what it was and more time was spent waiting around than actually doing anything.</p>

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Abu Dhabi City Tour from Dubai including Lunch in Emirates Palace: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Abu Dhabi City Tour from Dubai including Lunch in Emirates Palace cost?
+
Prices start at $160 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Abu Dhabi City Tour from Dubai including Lunch in Emirates Palace take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dubai is not rushed.
Is Abu Dhabi City Tour from Dubai including Lunch in Emirates Palace worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dubai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Abu Dhabi City Tour from Dubai including Lunch in Emirates Palace?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Abu Dhabi City Tour from Dubai including Lunch in Emirates Palace suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Abu Dhabi City Tour from Dubai including Lunch in Emirates Palace?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dubai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dubai and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Abu Dhabi City Tour from Dubai including Lunch in Emirates Palace start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dubai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dubai?
+
On Outty we rank every Dubai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubai Premium Red Dunes Safari, Camels & 5* BBQ at Al Khayma Camp, Dubai: Red Dunes Safari, Quad, Camel, Dune Bash, BBQ & Shows, Dubai Evening Desert Safari Dune Bashing, BBQ Dinner & Live Shows. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dubai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dubai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
