Is the Dubai Unlimited Pass worth it?

The Unlimited Pass is basically a very good product that covers many attractions. However, it is not free and the question arises as to whether this Dubai Pass is financially worthwhile.

We answer this question in this section.

How much does the Dubai Unlimited Pass cost?

The price of the Unlimited Pass depends on the period of validity. The longer you want to use the pass, the more expensive it becomes, but the better the price-performance ratio.

  • 3 days: $429 = $143 per day
  • 5 days: $566 = $113 per day

There is a discounted Unlimited Pass for children aged 3 to 12.

These prices are currently valid on the official website iVentureCard.com. The company sometimes runs discount promotions, so prices may fluctuate slightly.

Example for 3 days

Using the example of a three-day itinerary, we would like to show you how much money you would have to pay for individual tickets and how much you can save with the Dubai Unlimited Pass.

Disadvantages of the Unlimited Pass

The Dubai Unlimited Pass is undoubtedly an attractive product, but it is not without its shortcomings. The following arguments tend to speak against the purchase of the Unlimited Pass. Each traveler must decide for themselves how important these criteria are.

No priority admission: For most attractions, there is no fast track access with the Unlimited Pass. However, this also applies to other Dubai Passes. Nevertheless, you will receive a time slot ticket for some attractions and thus save some time.

Very expensive: The scope of the Unlimited Pass is quite extensive. However, this makes the Dubai Pass very expensive. Even with a short validity of only three days, you will have to invest more than $400 per person. Only if you do a lot of sightseeing in a short time can you save some money with the Unlimited Pass.

Validity in calendar days: The validity period of the Unlimited Pass is calculated in calendar days. This means that if you start sightseeing on Friday afternoon, for example, but can only visit one attraction, this day still counts as a full day. You should start sightseeing in the morning.

Reservation required: For many attractions you have to make a reservation yourself. This applies to some sights, guided tours and excursions. Find out more in the SmartVisit app.


Conclusion: Who should buy the Unlimited Pass?

In our opinion, the Dubai Unlimited Pass is worthwhile for some travelers, especially if the following statements apply:

  • You want to visit some of the top attractions, for example Burj Khalifa or Dubai Frame.
  • You would like to participate in a desert safari.
  • You would like to take a city tour by hop-on/hop-off bus and explore Dubai by boat.
  • You want to explore Dubai intensively: You should visit two to three attractions a day for the Unlimited Pass to pay off. This is the only way to make savings.
  • You are staying in Dubai for three days or more. The Unlimited Pass becomes more worthwhile with increasing validity.
  • You don't want to have to decide before each visit whether it's worth buying a ticket.
  • With one booking, you would like to receive all the tickets conveniently by email so that you can save them on your cell phone. This is very convenient.
