Dubai City Pass: Discover Dubai with ease

One pass, and dozens of Dubai's best experiences at your fingertips, that's the idea behind a Dubai City Pass! With options from Headout, Go City, Turbopass, and Expo City, these passes bundle entry to top attractions like the Burj Khalifa, Aquaventure Waterpark, desert safaris, museums, Hop-on Hop-off buses, and guided tours into a single purchase. Pick a day-based pass to unlock unlimited sightseeing over 1–7 consecutive days, or go with an attraction-based pass to handpick 2–10 experiences and use them at your own pace. Short trip or slow adventure, there's a Dubai City Pass shaped around the way you explore.

Dubai City Pass in a nutshell

Pick a pass that fits your pace

Tight schedule? Day-based passes from Go City Dubai All-Inclusive Pass or Turbopass unlock unlimited attractions across 1–7 consecutive days. Prefer to take it slow? Attraction-based options like the Headout Dubai Pass or Go City Explorer let you handpick 2–10 experiences and spread them over weeks. With five operators and two pass styles, there's a card for every kind of traveler.

All of Dubai on a single pass

Think Burj Khalifa, Aquaventure, Dubai Frame, desert safaris, and dhow dinner cruises, all accessible through one digital pass covering 20 to 50+ experiences. Instead of researching, comparing, and booking each attraction separately, your city card consolidates everything into a single purchase, which means less admin, more adventure.

Stretch your dirhams further

Individually, Dubai's top attractions add up fast. City cards flip the math in your favor, bundling entry at 40–50% below standard ticket prices. Hit 2–3 major stops on a day-based pass, and you've already broken even; every attraction after that is a bonus on the house.

Download, scan, you're in

No paper tickets, no printer drama. Your pass lands in your inbox as a QR code the moment you book. At each attraction, flash your phone, get scanned, and walk straight through. Need time to plan? Some passes stay valid for 30 days to a full year before activation, so you can book now and decide later.

Available for 2 to 7 consecutive days, this pass covers 47+ attractions, including Burj Khalifa, Aquaventure Waterpark, Desert Safari with BBQ, Dubai Aquarium, Hop-on Hop-off tours, and dhow cruises.

First-time visitors and families benefit most since the pass allows unlimited visits (one entry per attraction) within your chosen days.

The pass activates on first use and remains valid for non-consecutive days within a 14-day window, giving slight flexibility if plans change.

Operating from 10am to 6pm, this pass suits families and culture enthusiasts interested in interactive exhibits about mobility, sustainability, and Dubai's transformation.

It's a cost-effective option for dedicated Expo City visits, which includes entry to all pavilions, Al Wasl Plaza's 360-degree projections, and The Surreal water-music show.
