The experience

You climb onto an open-top double-decker and let the city roll past at your own pace. The early stops take in Wafi Mall, the Burj Khalifa at Dubai Mall, and the Museum of the Future, and you can get off at any of them and catch the next bus. Further along come the Al Seef Arabian Dhow Cruise, Bastakiya Old Village and the Old Souk of Arabia.

The Gold Souq and Spice Souq give you a long stretch of bazaar shopping before the Dubai Frame at Zabeel Park, where your admission is already covered. Keep the audio commentary on as you ride, so the stops come with a little background between them.

Once you reach the Palm, the bus runs out to Souk Madinat Jumeirah and Burj Al Arab, then on to Atlantis the Palm, Fairmont the Palm near Nakheel Mall, and Palm West Beach in front of the Hilton Hotel. Pick a longer ticket and add the Lost World Aquarium to your day.
