The Dubai city tour highlights the contrasts between the old and the new in this fast growing and exciting city. We start with some of Dubai’s new landmarks, stop at the beautiful Jumeirah Mosque, and then head for a drive along the Dubai Creek, lifeline and pulse of the city. We take a stroll through the narrow lanes of the historic Bastakiya area, with its beautifully restored old buildings, and then on to the Al Fahidi Fort which houses the Dubai Museum. Then we cross the creek in an Abra (water taxi) to continue our exploration of Dubai’s traditional souks; the spice souk is a sensory delight with a host of cooking spices, herbs, rose petals and incense. Our trip ends at the glittering windows of the gold souk – with such fantastic choice in one place, how can you possibly resist?!/ LUNCH IN LOCAL RESTAURANT PICK UP 19:00- 19:30/ DHOW CRUISE WITH DINNER

Day 3: |
Capital of the UAE and less than 2 hours from Dubai, Abu Dhabi is a cosmopolitan metropolis with spacious city streets and thousands of acres planted with trees. Our tour includes a trip down the beautiful corniche, the focal point of the city, a visit to the dhow building yards and the chance to marvel at numerous palaces and grand houses. We also visit the Petroleum museum for an insight into the industry that has transformed the UAE from a fishing and pearling economy into the thriving country that we see today. Return to Dubai for overnight. |
Day 4: |
The Emirate of Sharjah is only 20 minutes from down town Dubai and has established itself as the cultural centre of the Middle East. Our tour starts at the monumental Culture roundabout before heading off to the Natural History Museum in the desert. Returning to the city, we head for the Corniche, with the golden Al Majara Souk and into the heart of the heritage district, where the Al Naboodah House and the Al Arsa souk provide a glimpse of how life used to be lived. The tour ends at the fabulous Central souk, with its typical Arab architecture and if you’re looking for souvenirs, then the vast selection of carpets, antiques and curios will surely satisfy the most determined shopper. AFTERNOON FREE FOR SHOPPING |
Day 5: |
We set off from Dubai in the direction of Hatta and Oman, and once outside the confines of the city you quickly find yourself in desert scenery. We’re soon off-road and our 4×4s are put to the test as we head through some fine wadis and on into the Hajar mountains. After a chance to relax we head off for a spell of ‘dune bashing’, where our skilful drivers take you up and over some of the largest sand dunes and you really get to grips with the terrain. We’ll call in at a camel farm to see these ‘ships of the desert’ in their element and, as sunset approaches, we park up to enjoy the beauty of the desert at dusk. After sunset our camp in the desert. Arabic Welcome with dates and Arabic Coffee. Oriental Buffet dinner with Live BBQ (soft drinks and water are free of charge), "Henna Lady", camels are available for those who want to have a short ride.
