Private Dubai City Tour, Group of Up to 6
Six private hours that thread Dubai's headline sights into one effortless, well-paced day.
This is the private version of Dubai's classic city tour: your own guide, vehicle and flexible timing, for your own party of up to 6 only, not a seat on a shared coach. Some visitors want the whole of Dubai in a single sweep, and this tour is built for exactly that. Over six private hours a personal guide carries your group from the soaring Downtown skyline to the lantern-lit lanes of the old town, linking the city's defining landmarks into one unbroken arc. Because the vehicle and the guide are yours alone, there is no waiting on strangers and no fixed coach schedule, only a smooth progression from one icon to the next at a rhythm that stays comfortable from morning to mid-afternoon.

Does the tour include tickets to the Burj Khalifa?
Observation-deck admission is not included, which keeps the day flexible; your guide can arrange the climb on request and time the visit around availability.
Can we adjust which sights we focus on?
Yes. The icons form the backbone of the day, but the private format lets you linger longer at the places you love and move briskly past the rest.
Is six hours enough to see the main highlights?
It is. The route is sequenced to flow from Downtown to the old town, the Palm and the Marina without backtracking, so the time is spent sightseeing rather than in traffic.
Is the tour suitable for families with children?
Very much so. A private vehicle means you set the pace, build in breaks and skip anything that does not suit younger travellers.
What language does the driver-guide speak, does hotel pickup come with the tour, and how do we book?
Your guide runs the day in Russian, English or Arabic, whichever suits your group, and the six hours begin with a direct hotel pickup rather than a meeting point, so there is nothing to find on your own that morning. To lock in a date for your group of up to six, message us on WhatsApp or send the short enquiry form on this page and we will confirm your 09:00 or 14:00 slot by reply, no online payment needed.
How does high season and weather affect the tour?
From November to March, Dubai has comfortable daytime temperatures, and the Old Dubai walk and abra ride run exactly as planned. On the rare rainy day, the walking portion in Old Dubai may be shortened and the abra timing adjusted, but the tour is never cancelled for weather. There are no separate date restrictions, the tour runs every day of high season.
