What is a hop-on hop-off tour?

Ditch the Dubai overwhelm and grab the best seats on the hop-on hop-off Dubai bus tour. Snap a selfie with the Burj Khalifa, channel your inner bargain hunter for gold in the souks, and then chill on Jumeirah Beach. The best part? There are multiple routes, and you hop off when you're feeling it, explore at your own pace, and then jump on the next bus. It's idiot-proof, and trust us, this is way more fun than deciphering the metro maps.

Why choose Dubai Hop-on Hop-off

Dubai cityscape with iconic Burj Khalifa and red hop-on-hop-off tour bus.

All the stops, none of the stress

With around 25 stops, this Dubai bus takes you straight to the biggest icons – Burj Khalifa, Atlantis The Palm, and Dubai Frame – without the headache of navigating taxis. Hop off where the action is, and hop back on when you're ready for more.

Audio Guide

Perks that keep on giving

No need to fake chit-chat with a taxi driver – this bus tour lets you jump off for that perfect Insta shot, roam at your own pace, and then hop back on when your feet demand a break. Freedom, flexibility, and zero awkward small talk – what’s not to love?

How to choose the best Hop-on Hop-off tour

With two operators, Big Bus tours in Dubai and City Sightseeing Dubai, to choose from, make sure to pick from modern marvels and heritage haunts. While the perks like audio guides and free mobile apps remain the same, the routes and optional upgrades are as different as shawarma and sushi. So, here’s what you need to know before booking Dubai hop-on hop-off tickets. 

  • Budget-friendly picks: Both Big Bus and City Sightseeing tours come with a similar price tag, but if you’re counting dirhams – especially as a student, solo traveler, or budget-savvy explorer – City Sightseeing Dubai gives you the best bang for your buck. 
  • Dubai after dark: Dubai at night? Absolute magic. Big Bus rolls out a 2.5-hour guided night tour, lighting up the Burj Khalifa and Jumeirah Lake Towers. But if you’d rather keep things simple, City Sightseeing throws in a 2-hour sunset/night tour for free with your daytime ticket.
  • Free cruise & optional upgrades: Both tours hook you up with a traditional Dhow Creek cruise because every Dubai trip needs a little time on the water. Want more? Big Bus lets you add Madame Tussauds and Lost Chambers Aquarium, while City Sightseeing swaps Tussauds for Aquaventure Waterpark. Pick your favorite and dive in.
  • Abu Dhabi bonus round: Why stop at Dubai when Abu Dhabi’s right next door? Big Bus has you covered with an Abu Dhabi hop-on hop-off tour, plus Louvre Museum entry and guided tours of Sheikh Zayed Mosque and the Presidential Palace. One operator, two cities, endless bragging rights.

Finding the perfect Hop-on Hop-off pass duration

  • 24-Hour Pass: Got just a few hours to conquer Dubai? This pass is your express ticket to the city’s best sights and is perfect for travelers who love a fast-paced, highlight-packed adventure.
  • 48-Hour Pass: Split your sightseeing between old Dubai’s souks and creekside charm and the glitz of Downtown and the Marina. Ideal for those who want a solid mix of iconic landmarks, shopping, and a bit of relaxation in between.
  • 72-Hour Pass: With this pass, you can take your time, hop off for long lunches, and maybe even squeeze in an upgrade – Aquaventure, anyone? Great for those who want to fully experience Dubai without feeling like they’re on a sightseeing sprint.
  • 120-Hour Pass: If you love really getting to know a city, this pass is your best friend. 120 hours give you the freedom to explore at a leisurely pace, revisit favorite spots, and even take a day trip to Abu Dhabi. No FOMO, just pure sightseeing bliss.
  • 2 or 3-Day Passes: Unlike the 48/72-hour passes, the 2 or 3-day passes work on two/three calendar days, so you can start fresh each morning. Perfect if you want full sightseeing days without worrying about losing time overnight. Ideal if you want to explore at a relaxed pace, throw in a beach break, or just not worry about squeezing everything in.

Tips to make the best of your Hop-on Hop-off Dubai tour

  • Dubai’s roads love a good traffic, especially in the evenings. Start early to cover major attractions before rush hour hits. 
  • Sightseeing is fun, but free-falling over Palm Jumeirah? Next level. Pair your bus tour with a skydiving experience or swap a museum visit for a dune-smashing desert safari
  • Why pay extra when you can bundle the fun? Snag a combo ticket with Dubai Frame or The View at The Palm for skyline views that scream “screensaver material.” 
  • Dubai’s sun doesn’t play, so pack your shades, slap on sunscreen, and grab a hat unless you want to roast. The top deck offers the best views, but if it feels like you’re on a human-sized grill, retreat downstairs to the cool zone.
  • Want the best skyline snaps? Grab a top-deck seat on the right for epic views of Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Fountain, or sit left for coastal stunners like Atlantis and Burj Al Arab.
