  • Explore a City of Contrasts
  • Setting out with a private guide and driver, embark on a half-day tour of Modern Dubai, immersing yourself in the ultra luxe and awe-inspiring delights of the city’s modern core. Head to Palm Jumeirah, the largest human-made island in existence, where you’ll visit the 52nd floor lookout platform of the Palm Tower. Step out to unparalleled views of this extravagant palm tree-shaped island, a beacon of Dubai’s state-of-the-art vision. Nearby, pause for a photo of the stunning sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, an architectural marvel glimmering from its own private island off the Jumeirah Coast. Explore the Dubai Mall, one of the world’s largest shopping centers. Walk around and take in the sheer scale of this buzzing hotspot, including its impressive four-floor Human Waterfall, while also having an opportunity to indulge in the most coveted luxury brands or epicurean delights. A highlight of any visit to Dubai, revel in an ascent to the top of the world’s tallest building, the towering and iconic Burj Khalifa. Discover the Burj’s remarkable 124th-floor ‘At The Top’ observation deck, where floor-to-ceiling glass walls offer breathtaking 360-degree views over the city, desert and ocean.
  • Take a break from the city this afternoon as you set out to discover the ancient charm and magic of the surrounding Arabian Desert. Complete with camel rides, a sumptuous Arabian dinner, and live entertainment, your desert safari will take you out across the mystic sands on an exhilarating dune-bashing experience. In the comfort of an air-conditioned 4x4 vehicle, ride up and down the golden sands of Arabia with a private driver-guide, pausing to step out and soak in the grandeur of the mighty desert sunset before you. Continue to an authentic Bedouin campsite with a henna designer, local attire and refreshments for your enjoyment. Saddle up for a camel ride, traveling as the ancients once did, perhaps following the very same trails from antiquity. Return back to the camp and dine on a delicious barbecue dinner as the stars come out, an atmosphere perfectly enhanced by live cultural entertainment. Conclude your evening with a return transfer to your hotel.
