Dubai by Night: Burj Al Arab Dinner & City Lights Tour
See Dubai’s skyline come alive on a four-hour evening tour that pairs night-time city highlights with dinner inside the Burj Al Arab. Expect lit promenades, cultural stops at Madinat Jumeirah and a guaranteed dinner reservation in the hotel’s signature restaurant.
The Experience
Before You Go
Carry Photo ID for Hotel Entry
Burj Al Arab enforces guest identification and security checks—carry a passport or national ID to avoid delays at entry.
Confirm Fountain Show Timing
Dubai Fountain routines run at set times; request a Downtown drop-off or check the schedule to catch the best view.
Observe Dress Code
The Burj Al Arab dining venue requires smart-casual attire—avoid beachwear and sportswear to ensure entry.
Bring a Charged Phone and Portable Charger
Night photography and navigation drain batteries quickly; a power bank keeps your devices usable for photos and pickup coordination.

Conservation Note
Dubai’s waterfront development affects coastal habitats and water use; minimize waste, stay on designated paths and support venues that follow water- and energy-efficient practices.
The Burj Al Arab opened in 1999 and was designed as an iconic hotel to position Dubai on the global luxury map, reflecting the Emirate’s rapid late-20th-century growth.
