From the pier, drive to the Dubai Mall and board a 213-foot long moving walkway on a trip that transports you through time, from the earliest days of Dubai to the present. Proceeding along the walkway, you will be entertained by a multi-media presentation chronicling the city-state's exotic history. Take home memories of Dubai's crowning glory with a tour of the newly opened Burj Khalifa—the tallest tower in the world. At 2,716 feet, the Burj Khalifa rises into the sky, dwarfing the surrounding skyscrapers. The tower, which opened on January 4, 2010, is the world's tallest building, outdoing the previous record-holder, the Taipei 101, by an amazing 1,046 feet. The Burj Khalifa is as tall as the Taipei 101 with the Chrysler building stacked on top, measuring over half a mile from the base to the tip of its spire. Board the high-speed elevator, traveling at 33-feet per second to the observation floor. As the doors open on Level 124, floor-to-ceiling glass walls provide breathtaking 360-degree views of the city, desert and ocean sprawled beneath. If you wish, step outside onto the open-air terrace to enjoy another perspective of the sweeping spectacle around you. There is time to shop "At the Top" and take home a unique souvenir of your visit. Conclude the tour with time at leisure to explore the Dubai Mall and the wide range of restaurants, bars and cafés dotting the Dubai Lake area before returning to the pier.

Please note: All personal belongings, including bottles of water, purses, handbags, etc, must be checked in prior to the visit; only a personal camera can be carried in the elevator. (hide details)

Sample some of the historic sites and popular attractions of Dubai from the comfort of a motor coach on this panoramic sightseeing tour. As you travel you’ll notice that this city-state is a dichotomy offering endless contrasts between the unthinkably ancient and the ultra-modern. Here, two worlds collide in a noisy, colorful fusion that is both startling and thrilling. Begin with a short drive through Al Bastakiya—the small Old Town area where narrow alleyways wind mysteriously around an ancient but beautifully restored fort. Notice the well preserved old houses that are still cooled by wind towers—an ingenious age-old form of air-conditioning. You’ll stop for photos along famed Dubai Creek—which is not a creek at all but is in fact a wide and busy river—then take the underwater Shindagah Tunnel to reach the Deira section of Dubai. This area is best known for its markets, where it is possible to purchase everything from a toaster to a lump of frankincense—two items indispensable to every home. But the most noteworthy part of the market district is surely the gold souk (market) and you’ll stop here for some free time at the dazzling stores where literally everything that glitters really is gold. Continue to Jumeirah, the picturesque palace and residential area of Dubai and snap a few photographs at the Jumeirah Mosque. Further along the coast, less profound but equally interesting, is the iconic Burj Al Arab—the world’s tallest water-based hotel. Enjoy a quick stop for photos. It’s no coincidence that this spectacular love-it-or-hate-it behemoth rising from the Gulf billows like a full sail. Finally, transfer to Dubai International Airport in time for your flight.

Please note: This tour is only available to guests with flights at 3:30pm or later. Tour does not operate on Fridays. Guests disembarking in Dubai bound for one of the Seabourn contracted hotels of InterContinental Festival City or Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort and Spa may join this transfer tour for a supplement of $29 and will be dropped off at the relevant hotel after the tour.
