This day is built backwards from the evening. Pickup is at ten, so nobody is rushed and the fountains are still ahead when the afternoon ends. The morning covers the Dubai Frame and the Museum of the Future for photographs, then the coast: Jumeirah Beach Road past the Burj Al Arab and out along Palm Jumeirah for the full view of the island, before a long lunch in Dubai Marina.
The afternoon is Downtown. Inside the Dubai Mall there is time for the indoor waterfall and the vast aquarium wall, and for shopping if you want it, before you step out to the lake as the light goes for the Dubai Fountain, whose evening shows begin at six and repeat every half hour beneath the Burj Khalifa.

Insider tips
- The best free view of the fountain is from the lakeside promenade by the Souk Al Bahar bridge.
- The mall is very large: agree a meeting point with your driver before you go in.
- From May to September, keep the Palm and the Marina to the car and spend longer in the mall.
Questions, answered
Can we go up the Burj Khalifa?
Tickets are not included, but a sunset slot at the top fits this day well. Book it for late afternoon and tell us the time, and your driver will plan the afternoon around it.
Is nine hours a long day?
It is paced to feel shorter than it is: a late start, a long lunch and plenty of time sitting down in the car and the mall. Children usually manage it well.
Can we change the order or add a stop?
Yes. It is your car and your day: the times above are a plan rather than a timetable, and your driver adjusts on the day within the hours you booked. Tell us in advance about anything that needs a reservation.
Which car should we choose?
Every car that can run this tour is listed on this page with its price and the number of guests it seats, from saloons for two or three to coaches for up to thirty. The price is for the whole vehicle, not per person.
What happens after you book
You get a booking reference on screen straight away. A person then confirms the booking by email.
Before your day we email you the pickup time and your driver's name.
On the day your driver collects you, and the plan can bend around you. You pay by card when you book.
