Day in Dubai

[cannockfrodo]

We have a day in Dubai after our cruise in January.

We would like to go up the Burj Khalifa at least.

Can anyone recommend a guide or the best way to do this from the cruise terminal ?

Thanks

6 of us took a tour of Dubai with Dubai Private Tours (http://www.dubaiprivatetours.com) last November. We were staying at a hotel for one night before our cruise but i think they could accommodate your situation. They did a good job, the guide was knowledgeable and easy to understand and the vehicle comfortable. Enjoy your day there.

There's a ho-ho bus which picks up at the cruise terminal. There are 2 routes one of which goes to the Burj Khalifa.

It is best to buy your ticket 30 days in advance to go up the tower.

Just go to their web site.

Thanks for the tips. We do have a ho-ho bus included in our 3 night stay at The Palm so maybe we will have time to do the Burj before the cruise instead.

Would you recommend the day or the night to visit ?

I know that's best but is it compulsory ?

The OH isn't convinced and is a bit worried about advance booking as we're not not 100% sure how we will be feeling re jet lag.

Thanks

No, not compulsory but you may have to queue a while. Day or night is entirely up to you. Personally, I'd prefer the day as you can get a better perspective rather than just seeing lights.

 

The ho-ho also picks up at the palm but can't remember if it's the same route as the Burj, sorry.

Not sure if you really meant to post this on the Asia board but I would repost this on the Middle East/Africa Ports Of Call Board.
