This morning, proceed on a Dubai City Tour. This fascinating tour catches the contrasts of modern Dubai with fast paced developments and the flair of trade on merchants’ markets. As we drive along Jumeirah Beach Road, you will get an insight of today’s wealth in vibrant Dubai when going past exclusive residential neighbourhoods with villas, mansions and palaces. On the way to the old center of Dubai we will stop at the marvellous Jumeirah Mosque.
After a short break, we continue our journey to the Zabeel area, an impressive and illustrious part of Dubai, to see the palace of the ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed among many other majestic & opulent residences. Next we reach the banks of the Creek, there is the opportunity to catch sight of the amazing skyline of Dubai and take photographs of a modern metropolis with its splendid architecture. Just a few-minutes-drive away is the Al Fahidi Fort, a museum that records the city’s past as an important pearl diving and trading center. By Abra, a type of a water taxi, we reach the opposite bank of the Creek, a suburb called Deira to mix and mingle with merchants of all origins in bustling alleys within both the gold and the spice souk.
In the afternoon, experience the thrills of a 4WD Safari. This tour takes you to the desert of Dubai, driving across beautiful oceans of towering sand dunes to arrive at the local camel farm. From the high dunes, you witness the sunset as the sun sheds its blaze over enormous areas covered with sand. The hustle and bustle of the city is far away from the unrivalled silence and tranquillity around you. Mesmerized by the magnificent view, you pioneer into an enchanting Arabian night.
After a challenging ride across the desert, you reach our traditional Arabic camp, where a BBQ dinner is served in a torch-lit ambience giving for the bewitching belly dancer, who performs to rhythm of the captivating Arabic music under a galaxy of stars.
