Meeting Point
Your Dubai adventure begins the moment you land at Dubai International Airport. Our representative meets you at arrivals and transfers you to your hotel. After check-in, take your first evening stroll along the stunning Dubai Marina waterfront -- a canyon of illuminated glass skyscrapers reflected in the calm marina waters, lined with buzzing restaurants and cafes. Enjoy a welcome dinner at a Marina restaurant, sampling Arabic mezze and fresh seafood as you settle into the Dubai rhythm. The glittering skyline and warm Gulf air set the perfect tone for the days ahead.

Today contrasts two Dubais in one thrilling day. Start in the historic Al Fahidi neighbourhood, where narrow wind-tower alleyways house art galleries and the Dubai Museum. Cross Dubai Creek by traditional abra (water taxi) to Deira and explore the gold-laden stalls of the Gold Souk and the fragrant pyramids of the Spice Souk. In the afternoon, drive to modern Dubai: the Burj Khalifa area with photo stops at the world's tallest tower, the Dubai Fountain show at the lake (6:00 PM and 6:30 PM), and the vast Dubai Mall where you can marvel at the indoor aquarium, ice rink, and waterfall. Evening at leisure for shopping or dining.

The desert safari is the centrepiece of every Dubai itinerary and an experience unlike anything else. After a leisurely morning, your 4WD guide collects you at 3:00 PM and drives you to the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. Your driver begins the exhilarating dune bashing: 45 minutes of rollercoaster-like riding over the red sand dunes as the sun begins its descent. At the Bedouin camp, enjoy a traditional welcome of Arabic coffee and dates, try sandboarding, watch a henna artist, or dress in traditional Emirati attire for photos. A lavish buffet dinner of grilled meats, rice dishes, salads, and Arabic sweets is served under the stars with a live Tanoura dance performance.

Today explores Dubai's most spectacular man-made achievement: the Palm Jumeirah, a palm-shaped artificial island built from 100 million cubic metres of reclaimed sand. Take the Palm Monorail to the tip of the frond and visit the famous Atlantis The Palm hotel. Alternatively, spend the morning at JBR (Jumeirah Beach Residence) public beach -- Dubai's most popular free beach -- swimming in the warm Gulf waters before an afternoon of independent shopping at The Walk retail promenade. Late afternoon, visit the Dubai Frame in Zabeel Park: a 150-metre giant picture frame offering panoramic views of old and new Dubai from its glass-floored sky bridge.

Your final Dubai morning is yours to enjoy at leisure -- a last swim in the hotel pool, a leisurely breakfast, or a quick final shopping trip to pick up gifts from the Gold Souk or Dubai Duty Free. Our driver will collect you from the hotel at the appropriate time for your return flight to Nairobi. Check-in at Dubai International Airport and reflect on five days that have shown you one of the world's most extraordinary cities in all its glittering complexity. Karibu tena -- come back soon!
