The story

City Sightseeing runs red open-top double-decker buses in Dubai. Its own tickets are hop-on hop-off passes for 24, 48 or 72 hours on a Red and a Blue route, both leaving the Zabeel bus parking at Dubai Mall every hour from 10:00 until 16:00, and a Sunset and Night Tour: one loop a day, not hop-on hop-off, lasting two hours, with pickups from 18:00 at Dubai Mall and then at Dubai Marina, Atlantis The Palm, Souk Madinat and Mall of the Emirates. Its buses carry audio commentary in 11 languages. The operator sells a ticket it calls 'City Sightseeing Fixed Route', about two hours on its sheet and without a hotel transfer. The sheet does not say which of City Sightseeing's tickets or routes that is, so your captain confirms it with the operator in writing before you pay, and this page promises no particular stop.

What it feels like: you climb to the open top deck, find a seat near the front, and the city starts to move past at the height of the first-floor windows. The commentary fills in what you are looking at, and the scale of the place becomes clear in a way it never does from a taxi: the towers, the long straight roads, the water opening up beside you. It is a gentle, seated way to get your bearings on the first day, and to decide which places deserve a proper visit later.

Who this suits: seniors and the multigenerational family, since you stay seated and the pace is set by the bus; first-time visitors who want an overview before planning the rest of the week; and families with children, with City Sightseeing's kids' commentary in English and Arabic. In the hot months the open deck is exposed, so the evening loop, if that is what the operator's ticket turns out to be, is the more comfortable time.

What happens

The plan as the operator runs it. Start times and pickup are confirmed for your date.

  1. Make your own way to the starting stop; the operator sells this ticket without a hotel transfer. City Sightseeing's routes start from the Zabeel bus parking at Dubai Mall. Your captain gives you the stop and time from the operator's voucher.

  2. About two hours on the bus by the operator, with audio commentary. Which route, and whether you may get off and on again, depends on the ticket your captain confirms with the operator.

  3. Your captain tells you where the ticket ends. Take a taxi or the metro back to your hotel, or ask your captain to arrange a car.
