Top-Rated Dubai Shore Excursions

Ships berth at the cruise terminal at Mina Rashid, a short taxi ride from the old creekside districts and about twenty minutes from Downtown and the Burj Khalifa. Typical port days combine the souks and an abra ride across Dubai Creek with an observation deck, or swap the city for an afternoon desert safari.
