Dubai Private City Tour & Lunch at Atlantis The Palm — Burj Khalifa, Jumeirah & Gold Souk
See Dubai’s contrasts on a private 5–6 hour tour that pairs iconic photo‑stops — Burj Al Arab, Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah Mosque and the Gold Souk — with a buffet lunch at Atlantis The Palm. Ideal for travelers who want curated access and time for pictures.
The Experience
Before You Go
Dress for mosque visits
Wear modest clothing (shoulders and knees covered); women may be asked to wear a headscarf, which many sites provide.
Bring sun protection
Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are important year‑round; the light is harsh near the water and reflective glass towers.
Stay hydrated
Carry a refillable water bottle — your guide will have refill options but Dubai’s heat dehydrates quickly.
Confirm photo‑stop expectations
Ask ahead whether Burj Khalifa and Burj Al Arab stops include entry or only exterior photos to avoid surprises.

Conservation Note
Rapid development pressures habitats; conservation efforts focus on mangrove restoration and protected sites like Ras Al Khor to preserve migratory bird staging areas and urban wetlands.
Dubai transformed rapidly in the 20th century from pearling and fishing villages to an oil‑wealth hub that pivoted to tourism and international trade, reshaping its coastline with large reclamation projects like Palm Jumeirah.
