Package overview

Eight days covering Dubai end to end - At The Top SKY, Aquaventure, IMG Worlds, the old creek souks, Global Village, Miracle Garden, a Marina yacht cruise and a dhow dinner, with a guide throughout. This is the completist package, and eight days is what it takes. Dubai's attractions are spread across roughly forty kilometres, from Deira in the north to Dubai Parks in the south, and the common mistake on a shorter trip is underestimating the driving between them. Seven nights allows the itinerary to be grouped sensibly by district rather than criss-crossing the city. The range is the point. Modern Dubai is covered by At The Top SKY at the Burj Khalifa, the Marina yacht cruise, Dubai Frame and the two malls. Old Dubai is covered by the Gold and Spice Souks and a dhow dinner on the creek. The leisure days are Aquaventure and IMG Worlds, and the seasonal ones are Global Village and Miracle Garden, both of which open only in the cooler months, roughly October to May. Accommodation is a four-star superior room, with private transfers and daily breakfast. Four dinners are included: the desert safari barbecue, the dhow cruise and two more, on nights we confirm when you book. A professional guide accompanies the touring throughout, which on an itinerary this dense is what keeps it from becoming logistics. It suits first-time visitors who would rather see Dubai properly once than return three times.

  • Gold Souk, Spice Souk and Old Dubai tour, with a dhow dinner cruise
