Half-Day Dubai City Tour: Jumeirah Mosque, Palm Jumeirah & Beaches
See Dubai’s coastal highlights in four concentrated hours—Jumeirah Mosque, Palm Jumeirah, Burj Al Arab viewpoints and public beaches. This half-day tour pairs easy walking with photo stops and hotel pick-up to maximize time on the shoreline and iconic viewpoints.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring sun protection
Dubai sun is intense year-round—sunscreen, sunglasses and a wide-brim hat will keep you comfortable during beach and outdoor stops.
Respect mosque dress code
Wear modest clothing (shoulders and knees covered); women may be asked to wear a headscarf for the mosque visit.
Use the included pick-up
Picker and drop-off streamlines the itinerary and avoids parking hassles near popular beachfronts and the marina.
Plan for traffic
Allow extra time—short drives between sights can stretch during peak hours; mornings are generally quicker.

Conservation Note
Rapid coastal development stresses shoreline habitats—stick to marked areas, dispose of waste properly, and avoid disturbing shorebirds at low-tide flats.
Dubai transformed from fishing and pearling villages into a global city in a few decades; iconic projects like Palm Jumeirah and Burj Al Arab highlight late 20th–early 21st century coastal engineering.
