Traditional Dubai City Tour

Dubai is fast, modern and advanced, but the city is traditional too with its rich history rooted in Middle-Eastern values. This afternoon we have arranged for you to take a guided tour, during which you will discover the role of merchants in Dubai's growth by wandering through the cobbled streets of Fahidi Cultural Neighbourhood. Drive along the 'Beach Road' and stop for a photo outside the Jumeirah Mosque, and pass by Zabeel Palace. You will also visit Dubai Museum, housed in the spectacular 18th century Al Fahidi Fort, followed by a ride on the Abra (water taxi) to the enchanting Spice and Gold Souks in Deira. You will have some time at leisure in the souks, before getting dropped back off at your hotel. Modest dress and comfortable shoes are recommended. (Please note that you'll be picked up from your hotel between 1-3pm depending on your location, and Arabian Adventures will contact you directly to confirm your time.)

Sunset Desert Safari

This afternoon you will head to the desert with an experienced safari guide in a 4-wheel drive shared vehicle to the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. Stop to watch a falcon display and then head for the sands to experience a thrilling dune drive. Enjoy watching a breathtaking desert sunset with a photo opportunity from the top of a dune. At a Bedouin-style camp await traditional Arabian activities such as henna artists and stargazing, and you'll be able to sample sumptuous Arabic mezzes and eat a barbecue buffet dinner. Relax after dinner with an Arabic coffee, before being driven back to your hotel. Please note that modest dress and comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

Modern Dubai City Tour

This morning you will be picked up from your hotel (between 7:30-9am, but Arabian Adventures will confirm this directly with you), and taken on a fascinating city tour of modern Dubai. Begin with a 20 minute boat ride around Dubai Marina, where 200 towers rose up in under 10 years. You'll then head to the infamous Palm Jumeirah, a powerful engine of Dubai's economic growth, followed by a stroll along The Walk promenade. From there you will have a fantastic photo opportunity of the Burj Al Arab, the seven-star hotel with its sail-like appearance. Sure to be a highlight of your morning, you will then visit Dubai's most iconic building, and the World's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. Included is a ticket up to the observation deck on the 124th floor, where the views across the city are incredible. The tour will then end at Dubai Mall next door, where you'll be left to browse its many leisure, shopping and dining options. A modest dress code and comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

Dubai Walking Food Tour

This afternoon at 4pm you will be met at the Al Fahidi Metro Station by your local guide, and for the next few hours you'll be taken on a delicious culinary walking tour of the city. Stroll through the cobbled streets of older neighbourhoods passing traditional and curios stores with your informative and entertaining guide. Away from the 5-star restaurants, experience this vibrant area by sampling dates, samosas and Arabic sweets, and passing fresh fish trading shops. You will learn about local culture whilst visiting the textile souk, a traditional abaya store and an oud perfume shop, before finally stopping for a meal and fruit mocktail at a classic street food canteen-style restaurant, considered as a hidden gem of the city. The guide will then leave you to enjoy the rest of the evening at your leisure.
