Discover Dubai’s highlights and experience its contrasting sides over two days with this combined city tour, desert safari, and dhow dinner cruise. This trio package is perfect for visitors who want to see the best of the city, explore the desert, and enjoy a night on the water. The adventure starts in Dubai, with convenient hotel pickup for the city tour and desert safari, making it easy for guests staying in central districts.

Begin your journey by exploring the heart of Dubai on a guided city tour. The itinerary takes you through Deira, known as the city’s trading hub, where you get a sense of old Dubai’s bustling energy. Step inside Al Fahidi Fort to visit the Dubai Museum, where immersive exhibits and dioramas bring the emirate’s past to life. Wander through the Gold Souk, famous for its dazzling displays of jewelry, and experience the vibrant aromas and colors of the Spice Souk nearby. Along the way, you’ll pass the historic Dubai Creek and glimpse the exterior of the Ruler’s Palace, a symbol of the city’s heritage.

The city tour continues with photo stops at some of Dubai’s most iconic landmarks. Admire the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab from the nearby beach and marvel at the striking architecture that lines Sheikh Zayed Road. You’ll drive out to Palm Jumeirah for views of the luxurious Atlantis The Palm resort and the distant World Islands. The route passes the glamorous Dubai Mall, with a chance to glimpse the Dubai Fountain and the soaring Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. Each stop offers a different perspective on the city’s blend of tradition and modernity.

Your first day concludes with a relaxing evening aboard a traditional wooden dhow, sailing the waters of Dubai Creek. Board the boat at the designated meeting point and settle in for a dinner cruise featuring a buffet meal, live entertainment, and panoramic views of the illuminated skyline. The cruise glides past Deira and Bur Dubai, allowing you to take in the city’s landmarks from a unique vantage point. The ambiance is enhanced by moonlit reflections on the water and the gentle rhythm of the boat. At the end of the evening, the dhow docks and, if your hotel is in Deira or Bur Dubai, you’ll be driven back to your accommodation.

Included in your booking are guided city sightseeing, a desert safari in the red dunes, and a dhow dinner cruise on Dubai Creek.
