Dubai Tourist Cards

What to see and do in Dubai? The question is almost superfluous, as Dubai is a melting pot of cultures and modernity with possibilities as vast as the imagination. From climbing the Burj Khalifa, visiting dreamy beaches, movie theme parks to its network of galleries, museums and skyscrapers, this city offers something for everyone; and to make the most of your visit, tourist cards present themselves as a smart option.

In this city, tourist passes are offered by: Go City Dubai and Dubai Pass. Both allow you to access a wide range of attractions, from iconic monuments to exclusive activities, all at a reduced price. In this article, you will find the updated guide to Dubai tourist cards with prices, advantages, disadvantages, how to buy and tips for you to choose the best option for you.

Go City Dubai is one of the most complete and flexible cards to visit the city, designed for those looking to explore as many attractions as possible or enjoy a personalized selection. It offers two options: the All-Inclusive Pass and the Explorer Pass. Each option is designed for different travel styles and budgets, allowing visitors to save while discovering the best activities in Dubai.

Both passes provide access to a wide variety of experiences, such as climbing the Burj Khalifa, desert safaris, tickets to the best water parks and much more. Whether your goal is to see the highlights of Dubai in a short amount of time or enjoy a more relaxed experience, Go City Dubai fits your itinerary. These passes are flexible. The trick is to prioritize: do you prefer more attractions or more time? The answer will tell you which pass is right for you.
