Description | This tour provides a great way to combine the amazing modern city of Dubai with the ancient history and beauty of Jordan, including the hidden city of Petra, spectacular desert scenery of Wadi Rum and scenic King's Highway |
You absolutely will not find another tour out there as packed with activities and attractions as this one, provided by CharlieTheTraveler. You will also not find another tour out there that offers it all "FIRST CLASS," yet for a relatively low price. We have thousands of travelers taking this specific tour every year-and that's because no competitor can beat us on quality, price & substance. |
Day 6: Fly from Amman to Dubai - Transfers included, but flight not included
You will be transferred to Amman's Queen Alia International Airport today to board your flight to the United Arab Emirates. Upon arrival in Dubai, one of our staff members will be there to meet you and transfer you to your hotel in the heart of the city - which is known for luxury shopping centres, ultramodern architecture and busy nightlife scene. You have the rest of the day free to explore independently, or rest after your journey to the United Arab Emirates. Note: The international flight from Amman to Dubai is not included in the price of the tour. It is normally most cost effective to purchase this flight as part of your main international flight ticket. However if you would like us to arrange a single ticket for you, we will be happy to book this for you. Please contact us for current prices.

Day 7: A city tour of Dubai and an optional desert safari
Today is all about exploring the beautiful city of Dubai - as we head out on a shared half-day guided city tour starting at Jumeirah Public Beach and Burj Al Arab, whose sail-shaped design and 321 metre height has made it one of the signature sights in Dubai. We'll also drive through the plush district of Jumeirah full of hotels and villas, before heading into the old Al Bastakiya quarter to discover Dubai's past. Here we'll navigate mudbrick courtyards and houses with wind towers to catch the cooling breeze. The tour also visits the 18th century Al Fahidi Fort, the oldest building in Dubai and home to the Dubai Museum. A boat trip on an abra follows as we cross Dubai Creek to Deira and the bustling and vibrant Spice Souk, full of colourful stalls of herbs, spices and sweets. Finally there is time to explore the nearby Gold Souk before you are dropped back at your hotel. An optional desert safari tour is then available in the afternoon. You'll be collected from your hotel in a 4x4 and make your way to the desert along the Al Awir Road for some fun on the dunes, including dune riding, sunset photography, belly dancing, a fire and Tanura dancing show and lots more before you enjoy a barbecue dinner underneath the starry sky. The tour lasts around 6 hours in total before you are dropped back at your hotel in the evening.

Extra day in Dubai - post-tour
Day 1: Night Cruise with Sea Breeze & Dinner
We start our trip to the United Arab Emirates in Dubai. This is also where we are based for the entire duration of our tour. It is from here we make daily excursions, which are packed with unique adventures and excitement. Today we pick you up from the airport and take you to your hotel. In the evening, we go on a traditional boat cruise inside the marina. Dinner is included on this evening’s cruise.
Day 2: Helicopter Ride, Nonstop Activities in the Desert & Belly Dancing
There is no better way for us to start this morning than with a flightseeing tour over Dubai. Afterwards, we head to the desert. There we go dune bashing, sand boarding, quad riding and camel riding as well as watch a belly dance show. Dinner is included on today’s tour.
Day 3: The Presidential Palace, a Dates Market, an Island & a Grand Mosque
Today we are making a daytrip to Abu Dhabi, specifically to Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Yas Island, the city waterfront, Dates Market, Emirates Palace and the Presidential Palace. We are provided with a private and fully guided tour. We also have our own private driver.
Day 4: Warm Waters, Snorkeling & Lots of Arab Markets
Our morning begins with a drive to the town of Fujairah. From there, we go snorkeling in warm waters. We then return to Dubai and are provided with a private and fully guided city tour. Dubai’s greatest draws are its lavish hotels, exotic beaches and hard-to-beat shopping opportunities. This city is so young yet located in a region so old. Highlights for today in Dubai include Gold Souk, Perfume Souk, Spice Souk and Bur Dubai (a.k.a. Old Dubai).
Day 5: Exploring Dubai’s Most Famous Attractions
Best known for its white sands, clear waters and prestigious, innovative and world-renowned hotel resorts (think seven-star hotel), Dubai has rightfully been a mecca for tourists for several years now. To describe the city of Dubai with few words: one giant mall! True, Dubai is not generally known for its historical landmarks. Nonetheless, its modernistic attractions are both impressive and undeniably creative. These below are the highlights for today.
2. Dubai Mall
3. Burj Khalifa Skyscraper: The views from atop are great.
4. Souk Madinat
5. Ski Dubai: Here you can see an indoor ski resort. Note that skiing is not a part of today’s tour.
6. Dubai Miracle Garden
7. Global Village: This is a cultural, entertainment and shopping destination.
Day 6: Our Tour Ends This Morning
Transportation will be arranged for you to reach the airport in Dubai.
