Itinerary Highlights
Day 1: Arrival in Dubai
Arrive at Dubai International Airport (DXB). Meet your representative for transfer to your hotel. The day is free to relax and acclimatize. Dubai operates on Gulf Standard Time (GMT+4) and is a city where the extraordinary is ordinary — from robot camel jockeys to indoor ski slopes in the desert. If you arrive with energy to spare, explore the neighborhood around your hotel, perhaps visiting a local shawarma stand for your first taste of authentic Middle Eastern street food. Overnight in Dubai.
Day 2: Dubai City Tour — Old & New Dubai
After breakfast, embark on a comprehensive city tour. Begin in Old Dubai at the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood (Al Bastakiya), a beautifully preserved district dating to the 1890s with narrow lanes, wind-tower houses, art galleries, and the Dubai Museum housed in the 1787 Al Fahidi Fort — the oldest existing building in Dubai. Cross Dubai Creek by traditional abra to Deira, where the Gold Souk and Spice Souk offer a sensory feast of glittering gold, aromatic spices, and centuries-old trading traditions. Then transition to modern Dubai: photo stops at the Burj Al Arab, the iconic sail-shaped luxury hotel, and a drive along Sheikh Zayed Road, the city’s main artery lined with futuristic skyscrapers. Afternoon: ascend the Burj Khalifa (124th floor) for panoramic views. Visit The Dubai Mall — the world’s largest — and watch the Dubai Fountain evening show. Overnight in Dubai.
Day 3: Desert Safari — Dunes, Camels & Arabian Night
Morning free for independent exploration — visit a local cafe for Arabic coffee (gahwa) with dates, or shop at one of Dubai’s many malls. In the afternoon, depart for the desert adventure. Your 4×4 takes you to the Lahbab Desert, where the red dunes rise up to 50 meters. Experience the thrill of dune bashing as your driver showcases expert desert driving skills over steep dunes. Stop for sunset photos — the desert at golden hour is a photographer’s paradise. Arrive at the Bedouin-style camp for cultural activities: a camel ride, henna painting, traditional Arabic costume photography, and shisha. A lavish BBQ dinner is served under the stars, followed by live entertainment: belly dance, Tanoura whirling dervish, and fire show. Return to your hotel by 9:30 PM. Overnight in Dubai.
Day 4: Abu Dhabi Day Trip — Grand Mosque & Ferrari World
Full-day excursion to Abu Dhabi. Depart Dubai after breakfast for the 90-minute coastal drive. First stop: Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque — one of the world’s largest mosques, constructed with 100,000 tons of white marble, adorned with semi-precious stones, gold-plated chandeliers, and the record-breaking carpet. The mosque’s beauty is especially striking in morning light. Drive along the Corniche and past the Emirates Palace. Photo stop at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi on Yas Island — the world’s first Ferrari-branded theme park, housed under a 200,000 sq meter red roof with the largest Ferrari logo ever created. While entry to the park is not included, the exterior photo opportunity with the Formula One-inspired architecture is spectacular. Afternoon return to Dubai. Evening at leisure — you may opt to explore the Dubai Opera district or Downtown Dubai’s Boulevard. Overnight in Dubai.
Day 5: La Mer Beach, JBR Walk & Dhow Cruise Dinner
Morning: visit La Mer, Dubai’s chic beachfront destination in the Jumeirah 1 neighborhood. This lifestyle district combines minimalist design with a laid-back coastal vibe — white-washed buildings, street art murals, palm-fringed boardwalks, and pristine beaches with calm turquoise waters. Enjoy free time to swim, sunbathe, or explore the boutiques and cafes. Continue to JBR (Jumeirah Beach Residence) Walk, a vibrant 1.7km beachfront promenade lined with al fresco dining, boutique shops, and street entertainment. The Walk is Dubai’s premier outdoor dining and shopping destination with views of the Arabian Gulf and the Ain Dubai observation wheel on Bluewaters Island. In the evening, board a traditional wooden dhow at Dubai Marina for a two-hour dinner cruise. Sailing through the man-made canal city, surrounded by gleaming towers and luxury yachts, enjoy an international buffet dinner with soft drinks. The illuminated Dubai Marina skyline is one of the city’s most photogenic sights. Overnight in Dubai.
Day 6: Departure from Dubai
After breakfast, check out. Depending on your flight time, you may have free time for last-minute shopping or exploration. Transfer to Dubai International Airport. Depart with memories of golden deserts, gleaming skyscrapers, and the extraordinary Arabian hospitality of the UAE.
