Exciting
The Carmel ride is so good, better sit in the front, more exciting. And the bike is fantastic! The tour guide, Amjad and Lafit are sp nice and help us to take many photos. And the sand boarding and desert safari are so exciting, definitely worth try!

Great service Safari
It was great especially thanks to our driver "Bhiru"... We took us from the hotel and drove us back to the hotel, we made quad too And the safari was very cool, the driver adapted his driving according to the girls with us that were a little bit afraid... So everybody was happy... Unfortunately we went to pick up customers from Dubai Marina, that didn't come after all and this made us waste more than an hour and a half in traffic jam, I guess a confirmation should be sent in the previous day or even early in the same day to know if someone won't come... Note: if my photos or my comment help you, don't hesitate clicking on "like" ;) and/or following me

A lot of fun
We took the tour including 30 mins quad biking and desert safari with Ghulam Mustafa on 30 October. Had a lot of fun, especially the quad biking which went on for longer than 30 mins. It would have been helpful to have a clear itinerary upfront but it was all fun nonetheless.

Desert Safari with BBQ dinner
We really enjoyed the safari, the 30 min quad was really fun. The show with belly dance, tanura and the fire was amazing. Mustafa the driver is very caring, he let us put our music in the car so we enjoy the ride just like a group of good friends! Furthermore he took care of providing all relevant information to set expectations about the schedule and the duration of each activity. He brought back straight home. Thank you Mustafa ! I really recommend the tour.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Basis: City Tour of Old & New Dubai through Dubai Frame: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Private Basis: City Tour of Old & New Dubai through Dubai Frame 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 Private Basis: City Tour of Old & New Dubai through Dubai Frame take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Private Basis: City Tour of Old & New Dubai through Dubai Frame worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 5 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 Private Basis: City Tour of Old & New Dubai through Dubai Frame?
+
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 Private Basis: City Tour of Old & New Dubai through Dubai Frame suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Basis: City Tour of Old & New Dubai through Dubai Frame?
+
Around 2 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Basis: City Tour of Old & New Dubai through Dubai Frame 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.
What is included in Private Basis: City Tour of Old & New Dubai through Dubai Frame?
+

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 14 listed pickup locations in and around Dubai. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Basis: City Tour of Old & New Dubai through Dubai Frame?
+
