Your driver, your route
Group coaches keep to a timetable
A private city tour in the UAE keeps to yours. Stay at the Grand Mosque as long as the light is good, skip the mall if you have seen enough malls, add a late lunch on the Corniche because it looked good on the way past. Your chauffeur collects you from your hotel, holds the car close at every stop and drives the route you choose, in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah or across all three.
