Dubai city tour with desert safari and dhow cruise dinner combo

During your trip to Dubai, take advantage of the opportunity to combine a Dubai city tour with a dhow boat dinner cruise and an action-packed desert safari.

Day one:

Your four-hour Dubai city tour takes you to the most prominent places in Dubai, showing you both sides of the city: the historical and the modern. Visit Dubai Museum located inside the 18th-century Al Fahidi Fort to get an idea of what Dubai was like before the discovery of oil transformed it into the power city that it is today. You'll take a drive along the Dubai Creek, which is filled with historical remnants.

Admire the Arabic architecture with a visit to Jumeirah Mosque, the city's only mosque open to non-Muslims, then it's on to discover the modern side. See Hotel Burj Al Arab, designed in the shape of a sail; the Palm Islands, the world's largest artificial islands; Hotel Atlantis the Palm, the crowning glory of palm Jumeirah; Jumeirah Beach and Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building. The tour also includes a drive along the Shiekh Zayed Road so that you can take a look at the skyscrapers and magnificent buildings on both sides of the road.

Day two:

Your desert safari lets you experience Dubai as it was before it became the modern metropolis it is today. During the tour, you will:

• Spend a few hours in a bedouin style tent, right in the middle of the desert
• Journey in a 4x4 to the campsite in the desert just outside of Dubai
• Cascade (dune-bashing) on the steep sand dunes in air-conditioned 4x4 by a professional driver
• Ride a camel, smoke a flavoured shisha, and drink a traditional Arabic coffee
• Enjoy a captivating belly dance and Tanura dance
• Have the opportunity to take breathtaking pictures of the desert, especially during sunset
• Try out the traditional costumes, get a henna tattoo and enjoy a delicious buffet dinner
• ... and more!

Day three:

Enjoy a dinner cruise on the Dubai Creek in a traditional bedouin boat.The Dubai Creek, an integral part of the city's history, divides Dubai into two sections: Bur Dubai and Deira, both of which house some of the city's best monuments and exquisite buildings.

Dhows, traditional Bedouin boats that were once used for trade and transportation, have been converted into restaurants that have lower (air-conditioned) and upper (open-air) decks. Upon arrival you'll receive a welcome drink then once the dhow sets sail, you'll enjoy a dinner of delicious barbecued dishes.

While you enjoy your drink and starters, you can take a look at the prestigious buildings and structures of Dubai as they glitter against the backdrop of the night sky. Then, savor a delicious buffet spread with a variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.

Dhow cruises also have entertainment activities which include live music performances, Tanura dancing and more.
