My sis is in town next week, and I'll be working, so I think I'll stuff her on a bus to see the city...anyone have any experience with city tours? i see the double-decker buses around town--are they any good? grayline? any help much appreciated!! thanks!!

MataHari

not been on them myself but our visitors have always liked them...it's a good way to see most of Dubai and you can go on and off them if she wants to explore a certain part for a bit...
It's not cheap though...(but not sure how much)

thanks--are you referring to the double-decker tour?

MataHari

yes, that's the one...

USD 55 for a day-ticket for a bus???? You could hire a hajji with a ute for that all day....

Big Bus Tour....it's pretty good to show visitors the City. Two tours, one through the 'old town'/creek and one that goes down the beach road to the Marina and back via Mall of the Emirates. They link up and a good way to spend a day seeing most of the sights.

it is not cheap...some people have vouchers...but no idea where from

Nah - people pay a fiver for a can of coke when they're on their hollies....

in prague last year we paid £9 for a bottle of water with our meal.

Cheeky *****ers.

shakh your bootie

Christ - how much was the wine??? Bet it was less!!!!!

Spugsy

MataHari

it is when your visitors expect you to pay for it though...

They saw you coming if you paid £9 for a bottle of water in Prague........ Where did you eat?

The hubby and I go there often, he used to work there and never have we paid anything like that.

Spugsy

that would never happen.

Well maybe the odd meal but thats it.

You should always 'go dutch' (sorry, that really was sh*te).
