What people love about touring United Arab Emirates solo
- Best of Dubai Tour - 7 Days
Accommodating operator who is willing to make things right. Overall good experieNce
It was mostly a private tour since we were 6 in this trip, and sometime we were combined with others on a big bus just like any big tours. Over all it was a great experienced although it missed some schedules, but they were able to compensate us and fixed it. I highly recommend this company! I enjoyed the Safari experienced and Abu Dhabi mosque visit. The price is also reasonable.

What our customers ask about United Arab Emirates Tours for Solo Travelers
Which areas in UAE are most recommended for solo travelers?
Dubai and Abu Dhabi stand out as the most accessible destinations for those traveling alone thanks to their reliable public transit systems and well-organized tours. The Dubai Marina particularly around JBR Beach and The Walk draws many independent travelers with its secure environment and diverse food scene. Beyond the marina Dubai Mall Downtown Dubai and Abu Dhabi's Corniche waterfront offer easy-to-navigate areas packed with activities. One TourRadar traveler puts it simply: "The Marina Walk area was perfect for exploring alone with plenty of restaurants and activities."
How much free time do solo travelers get on UAE guided tours?
Most tours strike a balance between structured activities and personal exploration time. Each day usually includes 4-5 hours of guided visits followed by time to explore on your own. Tours typically set aside at least one full day for independent activities whether that's extra sightseeing or optional excursions. As one traveler shared on TourRadar: "I'm happy that it's not a fully guided tour. I get to do my own exploration of the city."
What is the typical single supplement cost for UAE tours?
Extra charges for single rooms in the UAE generally run between USD 120-350 depending on hotel quality and travel season. The Hilton Garden Inn Dubai Al Mina 4* for instance charges around USD 120 extra for solo guests. Some tours drop or reduce these fees during the quieter months of June through August. A TourRadar participant noted "The tour is quite busy but we liked that as we probably won't be back and wanted to see as much as possible."
What accommodation arrangements are typically made for solo travelers on UAE tours?
Solo travelers find comfortable arrangements in Dubai and Abu Dhabi's well-connected hotels. Properties like the Novotel Bur Dubai place guests near metro stations and key attractions making independent exploration simple. The areas around Dubai Marina JBR Walk and Abu Dhabi's Corniche Beach offer safe environments for solo guests. According to one TourRadar review: "I felt completely safe exploring Dubai Marina and JBR on my own during free time and the metro system made it easy to get around independently."
What's the typical group size for UAE guided tours?
Tours usually operate with 12-15 participants creating an environment that's both personal and social. Desert Safari tours often use 6-person 4x4 vehicles which helps people connect more easily. As one TourRadar participant observed: "Our group of 14 was perfect - small enough to get to know everyone but large enough to always find someone to connect with."
What's the best time of year for solo travelers to visit the UAE?
The period from October to March offers the most pleasant conditions for exploring the UAE. Temperatures hover between 24-30°C (75-86°F) making it comfortable for outdoor activities like walking tours through Dubai Marina or city explorations in Abu Dhabi. A TourRadar visitor noted: "I went in November and the weather was perfect for all the outdoor activities plus there were lots of other solo travelers during this peak season."
