Just did the Dubai by Night Big Bus thing with my partner and honestly, it was such a cool way to see the city all lit up. The top deck is THE spot if you want those epic skyline shots (seriously, bring a jacket, it got kinda breezy up there even in the desert). Our guide, Manish, kept cracking these random jokes and pointing out stuff we’d totally have missed, like the weird camel statues by the creek. Only downside was there was a looong line for the bus at the start, but worth it for the views alone. Would def do again!

Went solo and was a bit worried I'd get bored, but nope! The headphones actually worked (in German too), so I learned a bunch. Little bumpy ride and the AC inside struggled once the bus filled up, but windows opened and breeze helped. Missed a photo opp because my seat was on the wrong side, so if you wanna snap Burj Khalifa, sit on the left. Staff super friendly, showed me where to hop off for the souks. Good experience, maybe a tad pricey but Dubai is always a bit extra.

Family trip with two teens! The night lights are wild, and we got to see the fountains dancing from the upper deck (my daughter tried to film it all but her phone almost flew away, lol). Our driver, Kiran, slowed down a little for pics at the museum—appreciated that. Only thing, coulda done with less traffic at the start, but guess that’s Dubai. Would recommend for families, my kids didn’t complain ONCE, so that’s a win!

Took the tour with friends and had SUCH a good time. Our driver, Abdul, was an absolute legend, stopping just long enough so we could grab night photos of Burj Khalifa. Beers not allowed on the bus which was a bummer, but otherwise, the music and city lights made up for it. Would go again.

First time in Dubai and this tour made it feel so easy to see everything. The staff were really chill and helped us with the headphones (our set was kinda glitchy at first). Sat up top and the breeze was soooooo nice! Totally recommend the night route—makes the skyscrapers look unreal.
