6N United Arab Emirates Tour | Offbeat Dubai

7 Days 6 Nights

Six nights in Dubai beyond the obvious, with the Burj Khalifa, a desert safari and the old town, plus visa and one activity.

Old Dubai gets equal billing with the skyline on this six-night retreat, balancing the Burj Khalifa and a desert safari with the creek, the souks and the Al Fahidi heritage quarter. A slower city stay, land-only.

What is the offbeat side of Dubai?

Alongside the Burj Khalifa and a desert safari, the route takes in the Al Fahidi historic district, the creek abra crossing, the gold and spice souks and the Palm. One activity is included, with time for the quieter corners.

Who This Tour Is For

Land arrangements only: UAE visa, a 3-star Dubai hotel for six nights, breakfast daily and one activity. Suited to repeat visitors booking their own tickets who want more than the standard highlights.
