All about the trip
Experience a day straight out of “One Thousand and One Nights” with this culturally rich and modern tour. Travel through Dubai’s opulent city and see the incredible balance of traditional and modern architecture. On this tour, our knowledgeable guide will take you all the must-see spots in the city. Once you’ve finished your city tour you will then embark on your desert safari adventure surrounded by endless dunes.
To begin, our guide will pick you up from your hotel in one of our air-conditioned Land Cruiser or Tahoe's. In the distance you will see the Burj Khalifa known for being the tallest building in the world, standing at a whopping 829 meters. You will drive through the downtown Dubai area well known for its ultra-modern architecture. Feel free to stop at The Dubai Fountain; one of the best spots for taking the perfect picture with dozens of sprawling skyscrapers in the background. If you feel like shopping, stop at the luxurious Dubai Mall, the second-largest mall in the world!
The next stop will be the stunning Jumeirah Mosque. Built-in the traditional Fatimid style this building is the most photographed mosque in all of Dubai. As you finish sightseeing at the mosque you and your guide will journey down to Jumeirah Beach. In the background, you will see the notable Burj Al Arab, the luxury hotel shaped like a sail. This is said to be one of the best “Instagrammable” spots in all of Dubai! Our last city stop will be the dazzling Dubai Marina. The Marina walk allows you to take in all the incredible views you witnessed earlier on the tour. Walk down the 7 km pedestrian walkway if you wish and see streets lined with modern restaurants and shisha cafes.
Once our city tour has finished it will be time to make our way into the desert for the next adventure. This part of our tour has the best balance of tradition and modernity. Travel the desert in style by camel or the modern sandboard. Surf down the crimson dunes offset by the glittering sun exploring the endless desert. Or if you prefer, relax in the tent and receive an intricate henna tattoo.
Later in the evening, you will dine on a delicious barbecue dinner (vegetarian options available). As you feast you can watch as entertainers perform a traditional ‘Tanoura’ folk dance, fire show or belly dance. Feel like royalty as you take in all the rich cultural traditions under the shining stars.
After we’ve finished this we will make our way back to the city and drop you off at your hotel. You do not want to miss this experience of a lifetime! Join us and let us show you all the cultural gems that Dubai has to offer!
