Are There Luxury Car Options for Dubai Shopping Tours?

A private shopping tour of Dubai in a luxury vehicle is a brilliant way to explore the world’s most exclusive shopping destinations, along with your family and friends or just by yourself. Rent a car with a driver to elevate your day exploring Dubai’s best retail areas. 

Luxury vehicles, such as Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac and Lexus, take the hard work out of traveling between multiple malls and boutiques, bags in hand. Avoid the hassle of public transport or finding a taxi by arranging a full or half day of Dubai shopping with a driver.   

Relax in a smooth and stylish ride, seeing the sights of Dubai pass by your window, while you enjoy air-conditioned comfort and complimentary drinks. 

How Does a Private Shopping Tour in Dubai with a Chauffeur Work?

Organizing a chauffeur for mall, souk and boutique visits is simple.

Simply decide which day you want to tour Dubai’s malls, boutiques and souks and decide where and when you’d like your chauffeur to meet you. With UMC, you can book your vehicle and driver by the hour, a half day for five hours, or a full day for 10 hours. 

2. Select Your Luxury Vehicle for the Day

Choose a vehicle from our handpicked fleet. We can provide a variety of vehicles to suit your needs, from smaller cars like the Mercedes-Benz S Class for up to four passengers, through to a 7-passenger Cadillac or even a luxury coach.

What Half-Day and Full-Day Dubai Shopping Tour Itineraries Do You Suggest?

Make the most of a five-hour or 10-hour chauffeur booking with these itinerary ideas.

Half-Day Shopping Tour: Mall of the Emirates and City Walk Dubai

Arrive in style at Mall of the Emirates, where you’ll find luxury designer houses like Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Prada. British department store Harvey Nichols is a must, too. Mall of the Emirates is indoors and compact enough to explore in a couple of hours. Pause for coffee at the Emporio Armani Caffè. 

Your chauffeur will then transfer you and your bags to City Walk Dubai in around 15 minutes of driving. This is an outdoor shopping area featuring high-end boutiques, art installations and cafés. Finish your half-day tour with lunch at Coya Dubai for amazing views of the Burj Khalifa, or ask your driver to take you to the lunch spot of your choice. 

Half-Day Shopping Tour: the Jumeirah Boutiques and Malls

Jumeirah is a long and thin coastal district dotted with exclusive shopping areas, concept stores, and designer boutiques. A private driver can help you hop between them all in air-conditioned comfort. Don’t miss:

  • Mercato Mall, with all your favorite Italian designers and brands
  • Souk Madinet Jumeirah, a modern mall inspired by traditional Arabian souks
  • Beach Walk Boutique for swimwear
  • Village Mall for up-and-coming designers and artisan finds
  • Cool concept stores like Comptoir 102, HALM, Kulture House and Sauce. 

Half-Day Shopping Tour: Dubai Souk Tour with Driver

Dubai’s souks are must-visit attractions. Arranging a driver makes it easy to combine authentic downtown souks like the Grand Souk, Gold Souk and Spice Souk with modern souk-style shopping in venues like Souk Madinat Jumeirah, Souk Al Bahar and The Souk – Dubai Mall. 

Full-Day Shopping Tour

Combine two half-day itineraries above, taking your pick from boutiques, souks, concept stores and specialist malls. Having a private driver at your disposal makes it easy to build a bespoke itinerary,  

Also, consider including a visit to Dubai Mall’s Fashion Avenue where you can find more flagship boutiques like Gucci, Cartier and Dior. Dubai Mall is the largest mall in the world and is in Downtown Dubai, close to attractions like Dubai Fountain. 

Don’t forget to plan coffee, lunch and dinner destinations, and make full use of your driver to whisk you between the locations of your choice.
