ARRIVAL
Welcome to Dubai, the city of marvels! As you land at Dubai International Airport, step into a world where the past dances with the future, and architectural wonders stretch as far as the eye can see. Begin your adventure as soon as you exit the terminal, where the pulse of Dubai starts to come alive.
Dubai City Tour
A Dubai City Tour offers an impressive blend of traditional charm and ultramodern sophistication.
1. Burj Khalifa: A visit to the tallest building in the world is a must. Ascend to the observation decks on the 124th, 125th, or the exclusive 148th floor for panoramic views of the city’s sprawling landscape.
2. Dubai Mall: Adjacent to the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Mall is not just for shopping enthusiasts. It hosts the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, an Olympic-sized ice skating rink, and numerous dining options. Be sure to catch the dancing Dubai Fountain outside, with performances every 30 minutes in the evening.
3. Dubai Museum and Al Fahidi Fort: Explore Dubai's historical district and visit the Dubai Museum located in the Al Fahidi Fort to gain insights into the city's past and development.
4. Gold and Spice Souks: Wander through the bustling alleys of these traditional markets. The Gold Souk offers dazzling displays of jewelry, while the Spice Souk fills the air with the aromas of cinnamon, incense, spices, and herbs.
5. Dubai Creek and Abra Ride: Take a traditional abra (water taxi) across Dubai Creek to witness the contrast between old and new Dubai. Consider a dinner cruise on a larger dhow for a more leisurely exploration of the creek.
Desert Safari
A Desert Safari in Dubai is a thrilling adventure that encapsulates the heart of the Arabian desert experience.
1. Dune Bashing: Begin your safari with an exhilarating ride across the desert in a 4x4 vehicle. Expert drivers navigate the rolling sand dunes, providing a thrilling rollercoaster-like experience. The activity typically lasts for 30 to 40 minutes, during which you'll experience the natural beauty of the vast desert landscape.
2. Camel Rides: No desert safari is complete without a ride on the "Ship of the Desert." Camel rides offer a more traditional way to experience the desert environment. It’s a slower-paced, calming experience that allows you to enjoy the serenity of the expansive sands around you.
3. Sandboarding: For the adventure enthusiasts, sandboarding provides an exciting opportunity to surf down the sand dunes on a board. It’s similar to snowboarding but is performed on sand dunes instead of snow-covered mountains.
4. Henna Painting: Enjoy the delicate art of henna painting typically offered at the desert camp. Henna artists decorate your hands or feet with beautiful, intricate designs that are traditional in Middle Eastern cultures.
5. Traditional Costumes and Photography: Try on traditional Arabic attire and capture your memories with photographs in costume against the picturesque backdrop of the desert landscape.
DUBAI FRAME
The Dubai Frame is an architectural marvel that offers visitors a unique perspective on the city's past, present, and future.
1. Observation Decks: Ascend the Dubai Frame's elevator to the top, where you'll find two observation decks offering panoramic views of the city. From one side, you'll see the modern skyline of "New Dubai," including iconic landmarks like the Burj Khalifa and Emirates Towers. From the other side, you'll enjoy views of "Old Dubai," with historic neighborhoods, souks, and the Dubai Creek.
2. Sky Bridge: Walk across the glass-floored Sky Bridge that connects the two towers of the Dubai Frame. This thrilling experience provides a unique perspective as you look down at the bustling city below through the transparent flooring.
3. Dubai Frame Museum: Explore the museum located within the Dubai Frame, which showcases the history and evolution of Dubai through interactive exhibits, multimedia displays, and immersive experiences.
