Air-conditioned Vehicles
An ‘air-conditioned open-top’ bus sounds like a contradiction in terms. However, Big Bus Tours acknowledges that Abu Dhabi’s warm climate would make some visitors reticent about spending a day on an open-top vehicle.
The Big Bus fleet has therefore been designed to provide an air conditioned cabin on the front section of the upper deck, with large windows for uninterrupted views. The middle section is open air with a sun canopy, while the rear 3rd is open to the sun for those wishing to enjoy the weather and a traditional open-top experience.
Buses also have a fridge onboard and complimentary chilled, bottled water is provided for all customers.

As a Big Bus Tour customer, you also enjoy free entry to the Marina Mall Sky Tower. This glass viewing platform high above the mall provides fantastic views over Abu Dhabi, the Corniche, the Emirates Palace Hotel and the Arabian Gulf.
