Why this experience stands out
The dirham is pegged to the US dollar, which keeps budgeting simple.
Cards are accepted almost everywhere, including taxis. It is the detail most guests tell us they wish they had known before arriving, and it shapes how the rest of the day is planned.
Costs, timings and season
Keep small notes for souks, tips and abra rides.
Prices across our city tours & sightseeing range are quoted per person in UAE dirhams and include hotel transfers wherever stated on the tour page. Booking a few days ahead almost always secures a better slot than walking up on the day.
Insider tips from our guides
Airport exchange rates are usually the worst in the city.
Our guides run this route several times a week, so if your dates, group size or mobility needs are unusual, message us before booking and we will suggest the version of the experience that fits.
