Morning tour of Dubai! - Junaid was a very well informed tour guide who very quickly picked up on our interests and helped us get a good understanding of Dubai and the culture and story of its rapid evolution. This is a good way to spend a long layover in Dubai!

Dubai Layover Tour - My husband and I spent the evening touring around Dubai with Faisal during our layover. We were able to see SO much and learn so much about the city and culture. Faisal was full of information and we really enjoyed his company. We had an 11 hour layover and the tour took about 4.5 hours with multiple stops for photo opportunities. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to get out of the airport during a Dubai layover

Exceeded expectations! - I wasn't sure what to expect for our layover in Dubai- this tour exceeded our expectations! After 2 weeks in Africa we were ready to be home! We had 2 teenagers in tow- both of who also had a fantastic time on our tour of Dubai. Our guide was amazing- showed us all the sites we wanted to see and more! He was very knowledgeable, friendly and flexible. Would highly recommend!

A wonderful contrast of the old and new Dubai - Our guide was fabulous, he was very informative and tailored the tour to cater for our limited mobility. Great communication before the tour. A very enjoyable and educational experience.

Excellent 4hr layover tour - Had an extremely knowledgeable and excellent tour guide, Anees! As I was on a 9hr transit, he tailored the 4hr tour to fit in the tourist areas of my interest (history, culture, modern architecture) well within the time for me to return to the airport and answered all my (rather challenging) questions on these topics - highly recommended. Orient Tours were very responsive as I booked the tour 2 nights before Christmas, and they arranged accordingly. Do note that it can take some time to pass immigration - provision 1-1.5hrs (unless you’re fast tracked) if you’re entering the UAE for the first time.

Not a LONG time but an UNBELIEVABLE time! - We had an AMAZING DAY in Dubai thanks to Tahir and our driver! We are seasoned travelers who specialize in doing A LOT with LITTLE time and Tahir was up for the task. We saw ALL of the places we asked for and more. With his depth of knowledge, photography skills, and our style of humor, we all had the absolute best time! Leaving was hard, but it didn't feel like goodbye. That's the sign of an exceptional experience with an experienced professional. THANKS SO MUCH❤️ - Rhonda and Marjorie - Celebrating a 50th Birthday in style We would do it all over again in a heartbeat. He is an AWESOME photographer as well- he captured moments that we could never have gotten on our own.

I took a 4 hour Dubai... - I took a 4 hour Dubai sightseeing tour with Tahir. This guide was super knowledgeable, accommodative, and reasonable. We packed a lot in the four hours time frame. I wish I had more time to continue on, I had such a good time. Pick up and drop off were very convenient and on time which is very important for layover passengers like me. I would highly recommend this tour option and shall I be back in Dubai, I’ll reach out this operator to go and see Abu Dabi or do a safari and dinner deal. Thanks Tahir!

Knowledgeable guide and great tour - Loved it! Perfect way to spend a long layover getting to know the city instead of stuck in the airport. Faisal was excellent and very knowledgeable on the history of Dubai.

Great stopover tour with Chamil and Hussain - We had a fantastic stopover tour with Chamil (tour guide) and Hussain (driver). Chamil was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about Dubai and the UAE more broadly. Hussain was a great, safe driver. They were both easygoing and professional, and everything about the tour was smooth from start to finish. Also, the car was comfortable and kept very cool which was deeply appreciated on a hot summer day. I would 10/10 recommend Orient Tours. We are so happy we didn't decide to spend our long layover in the airport!

Great Dubai taster - This tour was perfect to give you a taste of Dubai when you have limited transit time. My tour guide Saqib was very informative and helpful. he even got to the pickup earlier for me as my flight arrived early. Saved me hanging around as I was on my own. Would recommend this tour to anyone who has some time to fill during transit. Will definitely be returning to Dubai for a longer stay!
