Dubai has transformed in the last 100 years from a port town to the largest city in the United Arab Emirates, and a center for great shopping, glitz and glamor and high romance. With tall skyscrapers filling the skyline, this is where Tiger Woods famously teed up from the helipad of the tallest hotel in the world – the Burj Al Arab Sailboat Hotel. Of course, one of the major draws to Dubai is the desert, where you can get in touch with more traditional Arab customs, such as belly dancing and camel riding, or if you’re feeling really adventurous, take a 4x4 through the dunes.
Day 1: Culture and Shopping
Make your way over to the Dubai Museum to take in four millennium’s-worth of discoveries. After learning about how Dubai transformed from a small fishing town to the business hub it is today, take an abra across to Deira. This water taxi is a well-used form of transport and will give you a great opportunity to take in the sights of the city as you cruise across the creek. Make the most of the many souqs (markets) in Deira to haggle for anything from a belly dancing uniform to a block of gold!
Day 2: Day trip to the East Coast
This fantastic tour will give a real taste of what the United Arab Emirates is like outside of Dubai – starting at the Oasis of Al Dhaid and quickly taking in the picturesque Hajar mountains. During your journey you’ll stop at several small fishing villages and markets, and be presented with opportunity to swim in the Indian Ocean, as well as making it to Al Badiyah – the oldest mosque in the Emirates.
Day 3: Dubai Desert TourBlasting through the dunes in a 4x4 vehicle and sandboarding, watching the sun set across the Arabian desert – these are the things that people dream of when they think of Dubai, and this tour makes them happen. On top of these activities, expect the opportunity to go camel riding, get yourself a Henna tattoo and watch local belly dancers whilst feasting on a barbecue.
