Start Your Morning: Dubai City Tour

A half-day tour around Dubai city will start at around 8:00 AM and therefore kick off your day. Hotel pick-up is provided in most of the packages, making the process very smooth without any hassles. The first place to visit is the Dubai Museum at Al Fahidi Fort, which will provide an intriguing insight into the city as it was before the oil age. Then head to the magnificent Jumeirah Mosque. This is an architectural masterpiece that harmoniously fits the fusion of the past and the present. It’s a perfect place to take memorable pictures.
b. Explore Modern Dubai
Carry on with your morning, exploring the glitz of the contemporary Dubai. Visit the tallest tower in the world, the Burj Khalifa, to take some spectacular pictures or spend a few minutes at its observation deck. Take a stroll around Dubai Mall in case you have time, with the blending of luxury shopping and the best attractions in the world. End with the most scenic drive through the Palm Jumeirah, taking breaks at the famous Atlantis Hotel to have the splendour and the views of the entire coastline.
Afternoon Adventure: Dubai Desert Safari
a. Midday Break & Transfer
Having had a great morning sightseeing in the city, you can relax and have a nice lunch either at a local cafe or at your hotel. At about 3:00 PM, you are ready to go on your next adventure, the Dubai Desert Safari. A comfortable 4x4 car will collect you at your hotel or a point of centralization. Transportation is already included in the Desert Safari packages. Prepare to have an exciting nature, culture, and adventure.
b. Dune Bashing & Desert Activities
Drive through the expansive Lahbab Desert or Al Marmoom Conservation Reserve to have an adrenaline rush off-road ride. Experience the adrenaline rush when dune bashing takes place with professional drivers through massive heaps of sand. Then, please take a brief ride on a camel, which provides insight into what it was like to travel in the desert traditionally. To have more fun, consider sandboarding. It is a process of riding down the soft slopes and enjoying the paradoxical views of the desert.
c. Sunset and Bedouin Camp Experience
The sun is setting behind the horizon, and the desert becomes a silent golden retreat. Visit a Bedouin-style camp where one will be invited to Arabic coffee and dates. Sample a classic BBQ buffet complete with grilled meat, fresh salads and Middle East desserts. Tanoura, fire and belly dance performances make the evening alive and create a magical atmosphere under the starlit Arabian sky.
Evening Magic: Dhow Cruise Experience
a. Transition from Desert to Marina
You can also come back to your hotel at around 8:00 PM after your exciting desert safari to refresh and have fun. Then go on to either the Dubai Marina or the Dubai Creek to make the night spectacular with a dhow cruise dinner. Most cruises leave at 8:30 -9:00 PM, and they take approximately two hours. This is a calm experience that is the best thing to finish your day, which was full of activities, with calm breezes and beautiful night scenes.
b. What to Expect on the Dhow Cruise
Get into a well-lit wooden dhow that is very traditional and head out at night. In the one-day itinerary Dubai, you can also enjoy fantastic skyline of Dubai. Savour an exquisite international and Emirati buffet dinner with background music. On the deck, one can have a spectacular view of Ain Dubai, Atlantis The Palm, and JBR Walk.
