The Red Route will take you to Dubai's top places of interest, so you can see everything from the world-famous Burj Al Arab to traditional gold and spice souks.

For the ultimate sightseeing experience, choose the Explore ticket. Take a guided panoramic tour to the heart of the desert, enjoy a coffee as the sun sets, and interact with camels, falcons and horses, or take the opportunity to have a temporary henna painting tattoo applied. Discover Dubai's huge Atlantis-themed aquarium and explore the mysterious underwater mazes and hidden chambers where you'll encounter exciting marine creatures. At Atlantis The Palm, the Ambassador Lagoon is an impressive viewing panel with awe-inspiring views into the ruins of an Atlantis-themed aquarium.
