See Dubai at a gentler pace
A guided bike tour shows you a side of Dubai that you miss from a car. You can pedal beside quiet desert lakes, spot flamingos and desert birds, or wind through the lanes of Old Dubai and its creek.
Your local guide leads the way, sets an easy pace and stops often for photos, water and short stories about the places you pass. Bikes, helmets and water are provided, and the routes are mostly flat, so no special fitness is needed.
Choose the Al Qudra Lakes ride for nature and open desert, or the Old Dubai ride for heritage, markets and the creek. Both work well for families, friends and groups.

Best time to ride
Cycling is most enjoyable in the cooler months, early in the morning or near sunset.
November - February
The best months. Cool air and clear skies make for comfortable all-day riding.
October and March - April
Warm but pleasant at sunrise and sunset. We shift the start time to stay cool.
May - September
Very hot. Tours run only in the very early morning, and some routes may pause.
