FamilyVerified bookingMay 20255/5My daughter love the animals she was super happy. Best place for family.Mar 20245/5Took the hop-on bus with my partner for our first day in Dubai. Honestly, didn’t want to deal with taxis or metro until we got our bearings. This was PERFECT. Sat up top, wind in my hair, even though it got a bit dusty (pro tip: bring sunglasses!!). Really liked that the map was super clear, but tbh, our headphones stopped working halfway so we just watched out the window. Got off at the Creek for the old market—felt like a totally different city. Buses were pretty regular but we did wait like 25 mins in the afternoon, so maybe plan for that. Would def recommend for anyone wanting a chill intro to the city.Mar 20244/5Pretty good for seeing a LOT in one day. I was solo so just wanted to tick off the main stuff, and this made it easy. The top deck seats were HOT by 2pm, so maybe avoid midday. Staff at the Marina stop were suuuper helpful though and gave me tips on where to get cheap lunch. Audio guide was a bit meh but learned some things. Not cheap, but worth it for the convenience.
