Full description
Three buildings that between them cover Dubai's whole argument about itself — the past, the present and what it intends next — in one guided run.
The Dubai Frame is 150 metres of gilded rectangle positioned so old Dubai sits in one half of the view and the skyline in the other, with a glass floor on the top deck.
The Museum of the Future is the torus on Sheikh Zayed Road whose entire façade is Arabic calligraphy — verses by Sheikh Mohammed, cut through the steel so the building has no conventional windows. It is worth stopping at even from the outside, which is what most tours do.
The Burj Al Arab is the photo stop, from the beach at Umm Suqeim where the whole sail is visible on its island.
A guide travels with you and there is hotel pickup.
⚠️ Check what is included versus what is a photo stop. On most versions of this route the Frame includes entry while the Museum of the Future is exterior only — its own tickets are timed, sell out days ahead and are booked separately. Tell us if you want to go inside and we will arrange it properly rather than leaving you outside.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, hotel pickup and drop-off are included. Your pickup time and place are confirmed by the operator after you book, and the collection window is usually a little wider than a fixed minute because the driver is working a route around several hotels.
The price does not cover entry tickets. Everything the price does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list you should budget for it separately.
Yes. You choose an entry window and are admitted within it. Arriving well outside your slot is the single most common way people lose a booking, so treat the time on the ticket as the appointment it is.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we take it as final, and we need at least one day's notice for anything outside India. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
