5 Days Dubai & Abu Dhabi Escape

A 5-day trip that should be very difficult to forget is the one where you would experience the luxurious and modern lifestyle along with Arabian tradition at its best.

You will start your trip in Dubai, where you would visit the walled and quaint Bastakia neighborhood, take a tour of the Dubai Creek, and finally browse through the crowded Gold and Spice Souks. Ride the creek a traditional Abra and unveil the very classic charm of old Dubai before clicking the card of the world-renowned Burj Al Arab.

Then take the road toward Abu Dhabi, which is the glorious capital of the UAE. Get into the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, one of the most exquisite mosques in the world, and get an eyeful of the Emirates Palace opulence. Breathe in the views of the Corniche, and next, the Etihad Towers, also stop over Heritage Village for a quick peek of the pre-oil-boom world. The Ferrari World photo stop shouldn’t be missed since it’s the location of the world’s fastest coaster.

Get back to Dubai for a day to relax or take optional trips before penetrating the golden desert. Get into a luxury 4x4 for a thrilling Desert Safari, which includes, among other things, dune bashing, camel rides, henna tattoos, BBQ dinner, and mesmerizing live performances under the starry sky.
