6 Days Dubai & Abu Dhabi Discovery Tour

A savoring and interesting 6-day trip through blossoming cities of Dubai and Abu Dhabi where history and modernity are in constant harmony, this is exactly what you will get on this tour. The adventure starts with the warm welcome at Dubai International Airport and you will be transferred to a hotel for a comfortable stay.

Dubai's Old and Modern contrast will be discovered during the tour in which the places visited are Bastakiya Quarter, traditional merchant houses, and the cultural outlook into the oil-boom-less life. The creek crossing will be by an Abra water taxi that allows you to visit the bustling Spice Souk as well as Jewelry Souk, where not only the finest jewelry but also the world's largest gold ring can be found. The day will include Jumeirah Beach, the world's only 7-star Burj Al Arab, and Palm Jumeirah, where the lavish Atlantis The Palm sits. Also, the explorations will lead you to Souk Madinat Jumeirah, the picturesque “Little Venice of Dubai,” and the day will be concluded at the Dubai Mall, where you can enjoy the Burj Khalifa and its famous dancing fountains.

The day trip to Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, is in store for you right after the touring of the glittering Dubai. You will be visiting the stunning Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, enjoying the luxurious Emirates Palace, and visiting Heritage Village that is a living museum of Emirati history. Get the views of the Corniche, Etihad Towers, and the world's largest indoor amusement park, Ferrari World.

Come back to Dubai for an exhilarating Desert Safari where luxury 4x4 vehicles will be taking you through the rolling dunes. Besides catching the mesmerizing desert sunset, you will also be taken to a classic Bedouin-style camp where you are going to have an Arabian BBQ dinner and endless activities like camel rides, henna painting, and live.

We will go to the traditional Bastakiya district, exploring and enjoying the peaceful alleys and old houses where merchants once lived. During the tour, we will enter one of these houses to get a glimpse of life in Dubai before the discovery of oil — a simulation of Bedouin life that highlights the remarkable transformation that has taken place in such a short time. We will then continue our visit by taking an “Abra” (water taxi) across the Dubai Creek, heading toward the exotic and aromatic Spice Souk, where we can find various types of spices, saffron, incense, dates, and more — and where bargaining is part of the experience. We will also visit the Gold Souk, famous for its countless designs in gold and diamond jewelry, and where the world’s largest ring — weighing 64 kilograms of gold — is displayed. We will visit the Jumeirah Beach area to admire the 7-star Burj Al Arab Hotel. Afterwards, we will head to Palm Jumeirah, the largest artificial island in the world shaped like a palm tree, a triumph of human ingenuity, where the famous Atlantis The Palm Hotel is located. We continue to Souk Madinat Jumeirah, known as "the little Venice of Dubai," where we find artisanal shops; it is also called "the elegant market of Dubai." Next, we head to Marina Walk, where we admire the Cayan Tower, the most twisted tower in the world. We then proceed to the Dubai Mall, the largest shopping center in the world, where we can admire the Burj Khalifa, the tallest tower in the world at 828 meters and 200 floors, which also houses the aquarium and the dancing fountains. There is an option to stay at the Dubai Mall and return on your own.
