    Good value for money !

    Would have been useful to have received a map of the routes beforehand so we could see where the stops were. However, we went to the Dubai Mall to do some shopping and boarded a bus there once we had finished in the Mall. Very informative and good fun !

  • Mrs Karen A Wild   (United Kingdom) 5.0
    DUBAI IN 4 DAYS

    Planned our intinerary well in advance, the Big bus tour is excellent value for money and well-organised- we did the 48 hour ticket as you won't cover everything in 1 day. The dhow dinner cruise was excellent value- food and service great. We did'nt do a walking tour as it's far too hot but used the free ticket to visit the Dubai museum- not worth getting off bus for! I would also recommend the Yellow Boats trip around the Palm- we used the bus tour to get to the Marina and the trip was good value and great fun

    Very well organised - buses leave on time. Would be better if they ran more frequently especially from Ferrari World. Also some of the headphone systems were not working.

Experience Abu Dhabi in Hop On Hop Off Bus Tours

The capital of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi is also the capital of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The city is situated on an island in the Persian Gulf and steadily gaining popularity as a tourist hotspot after Dubai. The economy of the city used to rely on the pearl trade prior to the oil industry. The city is aiming to be sustainable and self-sufficient by 2025 when it gets completed. The majority of energy consumption depends on solar panels and is already being hailed as the ‘City of the Future.’

While enjoying the sights of the city on a hop-on hop-off bus, the chances are that you might come across luxury cars of local police patrolling around or chasing high-speeders. If you are lucky, you might spot some Hollywood-esque chase in a Ferrari, Lamborghini or Rolls Royce. So, keep your eyes peeled for that!

Ab Dhabi also holds the bragging rights of the Formula One Grand Prix and the Yas Marina circuit is a must-visit. Ferrari World is another remarkable gem for automobile enthusiasts that should not be missed.
