Ordering excursions on the Internet
I read that some of them are better to order in advance. What exactly? And if I do it on the spot, what will I lose? I don't want to get attached to anything - upon arrival, plans may change.

It depends on what excursions you are interested in. Hotel guides highly recommend a sightseeing tour of modern Dubai, but we didn’t like this tour - everything is fast, crumpled, and you yourself can see the aquarium and the zoo in the Dubai Mall for even less money, and the Burj Khalifasami tower rise and look at the fountains slowly, the Atlantic hotel, if you are interested, it is better to take a separate excursion - there is a water park, I really liked the safari tour, 6 emirates in one day, AL AIN oasis.

I forgot to answer on the topic: I think that you won’t lose anything, because the guides offer excursions upon arrival, of course, not two days before departure to figure out where to go, but on day 2.3 it’s really possible to book a tour, but even if it works out, it’s not settled down Russians have managed to offer their services, who carry them in their cars for affordable money and tell much more guides.

Thank you very much! Tell me, please, but if I arrive, say, today, then tomorrow I can already get on some kind of excursion without pre-ordering? Or at night from today-for tomorrow-- and tomorrow already on an excursion? Don't want to waste time, there won't be much of it :)

By the way, this site was recommended to me today, I corresponded with them, they have Russian-speaking staff. You can send them an email, they respond quickly.

Already rummaging through the link, thank you :) Natasha, I understand that there are not as many street tour agencies in Dubai as in Egypt, or Turkey, or Bulgaria? The most recent example was when I was in Sunny Beach: we go into the agency, we doubt something or it’s expensive, we go out, we go along the street - after 200 meters the next one. It is possible to compare and choose. And in the UAE?

This is not the case in the UAE. no one is holding your hand. I almost never met agencies, except for what we had at the hotel

Therefore, people offer to take care of this in advance, so that later they don’t run and fuss.

well, or at least dial the phone numbers of agencies in Dubai with you, so that later you can order on the spot

I just feel like I didn't appreciate the scale of the city. I was going to walk to the beach, and go through street agencies if they don’t like it)))

You probably won’t have to go to the beach, since all hotels have their own shuttle to the beach, and I don’t advise you to go either - there are very few pedestrian crossings, I definitely didn’t see the agencies, but the hotel guide himself recommended us the settled Russians.

We did not meet with the guide. It was a pity to somehow spend precious time in Dubai and a day of beach rest on him.

It's definitely overrated!!! On the first evening when we walked around the hotel, I was shocked, to put it mildly. Quiet and calm, there are no people on the street. Nothing works anywhere. There is nothing to breathe. Where did I go!!! This was my first impression of Dubai)

I bought tickets to the Burj Khalifa via the Internet from Kyiv at a convenient time for us, we looked at everything else in the city ourselves using the map, since we were only a week, and Dubai is such a beautiful city, we decided not to overload ourselves with other excursions. through the Internet you can buy tickets for a tourist bus for a day and evening trip, the evening one costs 2 times cheaper

And how technically to do it? How to pay? How long before the trip did you place your order? Thank you!

That is, on the beach, as well as in Turkey or Egypt, is it possible to connect with sellers of excursions? Or not on all beaches? And how safe is it? In TA they scare me that it is better to take excursions from the operator ;-) But if I safely traveled with street agencies in Turkey and Egypt, then logically in the UAE, a country with greater orders, it should be even easier and harmless. Thanks too :)

you can order here, pay by card))
Or you can buy tickets at the Dubai Mall. If you buy the same day -400 dirhams, in advance a couple of days - 100 dirhams. Through the Internet, too, 100 dirahams. You may be lucky and they will sell you a day for 100 dir. But don't rely too much on this.

Oh, about the tower. There is a view from a certain floor. But it seems that I found somewhere in the reports (not on our website) that there is an opportunity (for "more expensive", of course) to visit the very top. I'm scouring the site of the tower-- but have not yet found information.

There will be no floor higher than 124 if you do not buy an excursion to the tower, i.e. you buy a ticket to climb the tower, there are two attendants in the elevator-lift and you count the floors - a second floor and so on, go take pictures for a certain time, then go down.

I repeat once again: specifically, two competing firms, Arabian Knight and Aladdin, work at Al Mamzar. stand at the entrance to the park and walk along the beaches. we were in december. work without prepayment (!!!), they said that there is no money with them))
by the Tower. if the ticket is for 100Aed above the 124th floor there is no access.
