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

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

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.
