Go where the future meets the past in one astounding place. United Arab Emirates Nestled between the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean, the United Arab Emirates has a history that spans 5,000 years and a future that seems already here. The country offers an alluring mix of Bedouin and Western cultures, and with its warm climate, beaches, coral reefs, and stunning man-made islands it has become one of the world’s top tourist destinations.
Dubai Once a sleepy desert town home to pearl fishermen and Persian traders, Dubai is now a modern wonderland of fantasy architecture, glamorous shopping malls, and first-class golf courses. Yet much of its old charm remains. Follow the Dubai Creek and find a whirlwind of colors, sounds, flavors, and aromas amid ancient souks (covered markets). Immerse yourself in textiles, crafts, spices, gold and pearls; Dubai is a shopper’s paradise. Follow narrow winding alleys to vibrant art galleries, impressive mosques, and scenic parks. Dubai is truly a sparkling oasis on the sands.
Included sightseeing tour of Dubai with lunch This is an exciting overview of a breathtaking city. Travel past the spectacular Burj Al Arab, one of the world’s most luxurious hotels, and the modern palaces of the current ruler sprawled along the coast. Next take an Abra-ride (water taxi) across the Dubai Creek and enjoy spectacular views of Dubai’s splendid architecture. Breathe in the aroma of old Dubai as you walk alleys laden with spice souks and end up at the modern gold souk. Here you’ll see some of the finest and purest gold on earth. Continue to the distinctive Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club for an enjoyable lunch. The club’s centerpiece is its striking two-story saltwater aquarium filled with tropical fish.
We are dedicated to providing our travelers the opportunity of traveling well at an affordable price. We develop programs that appeal to all age groups with the right balance between seeing and just being in new and exotic places.
