Amidst splendid modern architecture, you’ll see the magnificent Jumeirah mosque and we’ll visit Bastakia, an old part of town famous for its wind-tower houses built in Dubai’s early days by wealthy merchants. Inside the old Al Fahidi Fort, we’ll visit the Dubai Museum where Dubai’s trading and pearl-diving past is displayed. By abra, Dubai’s small wooden water taxi boats, we’ll cross Dubai Creek for a panorama of this 21st century metropolis to our final stop, the spice and gold souk (bazaar) for which the city is so famous.

Discover the true beauty of Dubai while dining aboard a traditionally decorated wooden dhow as it sails along the Dubai creek under the moonlight.

Leave behind the bustle of the city in the afternoon for a thrilling journey over rolling dunes through the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve.  En route, you will stop to see camels resting at their camp, and then, from the crest of a high dune, watch the sun cast its orange glow over the vast expanse of rippling sand all round you as it sets. Like a shimmering mirage in the distance you will see the flickering lights of your camp where a traditional Arabian welcome awaits you.  Relax on comfortable low cushions in Bedu tents and quench your thirst, have your hands painted with intricate henna designs, experience a short camel ride, or just enjoy the aromatic shisha. A feast of grilled meats, fresh salads and delectable Arab sweets is served and under a galaxy of stars, you will be entertained by the bewitching belly dancer swaying to the haunting strains of Arabian music.

Join an exciting tour to witness first-hand, the painstakingly planned growth of the multi-cultural metropolis of Dubai.

The Mall of the Emirates is an ultimate leisure, entertainment and shopping place. The highlight of the mall is the indoor ski dome, the largest of its kind, featuring real snow, gear and chair lifts to the top.
