Old & Modern City Tour in Dubai
The City Tour was excellent and very well organized. We loved that it covered both Old and New Dubai, giving us a complete view of the city in a short time. A great way to see Dubai in one tour.

Best City Tour with Ali!
Our guide Ali was very prompt and professional throughout the Dubai City Tour. We really appreciated his comfortable, air-conditioned car and the engaging commentary he shared along the way. Ali knows exactly where to park and how to get you close to all the major sightseeing attractions, which saved us a lot of time. Thanks to his experience and planning, we covered far more of Dubai than we ever could have on our own. Highly recommended!

Wonderful experience with Mohamed!
Half day tour to Dubai. Even though we had little, Mohamed allowed us to savor some of the most characteristic points of the city, knowing how to combine modernity with tradition. He also turned out to be an excellent guide, a very pleasant person to deal with, kind and nice at the same time. Thanks for the wonderful experience.

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dubai City Tour | Old and New Dubai Sightseeing Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Dubai City Tour | Old and New Dubai Sightseeing Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $60 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 Dubai City Tour | Old and New Dubai Sightseeing Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Dubai City Tour | Old and New Dubai Sightseeing Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 21 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 Dubai City Tour | Old and New Dubai Sightseeing Tour?
+
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 Dubai City Tour | Old and New Dubai Sightseeing Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dubai City Tour | Old and New Dubai Sightseeing Tour?
+
Around 7 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dubai City Tour | Old and New Dubai Sightseeing Tour 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 Dune Buggy Safari Tour in Red Dunes Options. 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.
