Choose private transport
A private driver removes the hassle of taxis and long walks. Many guests pair a morning outing with an afternoon rest at the hotel.
Gentle highlights
Museums, the Corniche promenade and the quiet courtyards of Msheireb are all easy on the legs. Souq Waqif has smooth walkways and plenty of places to sit.
Timing matters
Avoid the peak midday heat in summer. In winter, late morning to afternoon is comfortable for sightseeing.

Most major museums offer lifts and wheelchairs on request, but accessibility varies. Tell us about any mobility needs in advance so we can plan the route.
