Dubai: City Sightseeing HOHO Bus Tour + Sunset & Night Tour - Starting at Dubai Mall and finding the bus

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 6,442 reviews · 1 - 3 days · from $54Our pick

Review Dubai’s City Sightseeing HOHO bus tour, with red and blue routes, sunset lights, major landmarks, value, timing, and practical tips.

“We purchased the 48 hour pass with sunset ride, we took the red route on our first day. We hopped on and off when we wanted too. We had tickets for The Frame and this was one of the stops. The following day we took the blue route in the afternoon and due to the time of day and traffic around Dubai Marina we literally hopped off that bus back at the mall and hopped onto the sunset tour. Definitely worth the money and a great way off seeing a lot of the main attractions of Dubai.”
