Alright. Expensive, compared to other destinations. If you want to do both lines on the same day, red and blue, the journeys are long and you don't have time to get off and catch a bus later. You have to stay on the bus. For those who stay longer, it is better to take the two or three day pass.

Easy to find stop at Dubai Mall. Staff very friendly and helpful. The Voyager was quickly exchanged for the ticket. The stops on the individual lines are not signposted, and unfortunately very difficult to find unless you take a picture of where you got off. Finding the jetty for the Doufahrt was also very difficult. Sometimes a bus just failed. Sometimes he was half an hour late, especially in the evening hours, this was probably due to the heavy traffic. The aquarium is quite nice, but very small, whether it's worth the walk up to the palm tree is questionable, otherwise there isn't much to do on the palm tree, perhaps it's better to visit the aquarium in the Dubai Mall.

Great tour, definitely take both routes (blue and red)! Great impression of Dubai old and new! The information on the tours via the audio guide gives a lot of information about the development of Dubai and helps to get to know the city. You can get the original ticket at the Dubai Mall directly at the bus zone from the employees there who print it out on their mobile devices. Tip: The voucher via GetYourGuide does not entitle you to get on the bus and you have to show the printed original ticket to the bus driver every time you get on the bus again, so keep it handy :-)
