The world's tallest building at sunset. A 4WD dune bash into the Arabian silence. The glittering Palm from above. Dubai delivers spectacle at every turn — five days barely scratch the surface.
Touch down at Dubai International Airport and meet your tour manager at arrivals. Transfer to your hotel in the city centre. After freshening up, head to The Dubai Mall for an evening stroll and stay for the Dubai Fountain Show — jets of water dancing 150 metres high to music at dusk.

Morning at leisure. Afternoon pick-up for the evening desert safari: thrilling 4WD dune bashing through red sand dunes, followed by a Bedouin camp with camel riding, sandboarding, henna painting, and a lavish BBQ buffet dinner under a canopy of stars. Traditional music and belly dance complete the Arabian night.
Ride the Palm Monorail to the tip of the palm frond with aerial views of the crescent. Visit Atlantis resort and its private beach. Evening stroll along Dubai Marina Walk — a 7 km promenade lined with superyachts, restaurants and the Ain Dubai observation wheel glowing on the horizon.
