HIGHLIGHTS

Trip Highlights

Experience the ultimate adrenaline rush as you leap out of a plane and freefall over one of the world’s most iconic manmade islands. The aerial view of Palm Jumeirah, framed by the turquoise Persian Gulf and Dubai’s skyline, is a moment that stays with you for life — pure thrill meets surreal beauty.

Step back in time as you wander through Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood with its wind-tower architecture, hidden art galleries, and quiet charm. Cross the creek on a traditional wooden abra and dive into the sensory overload of the spice and gold souks — a vivid contrast to the city’s modern glitz.

Leave the city behind for an evening of Arabian adventure in the golden dunes. Buckle up for dune bashing in a 4x4, ride camels at sunset, and enjoy a traditional BBQ dinner under the stars with live performances — from fire shows to Tanoura and belly dancing.

Ascend to the 124th floor of Burj Khalifa for panoramic views that stretch from desert to sea. As dusk falls, head to the promenade outside Dubai Mall and watch the world’s tallest dancing fountains leap and sway in sync with music — a dazzling, only-in-Dubai spectacle.

Unforgettable Travel Itinerary

Day 1

Dubai, where desert dreams take flight

Land in Dubai and let the desert heat hug you hello. Check into a modern stay in Downtown or Marina—think sky-high windows and a skyline for company. As evening falls, head straight to the Burj Khalifa. Zip up to the 148th floor and watch the sunset melt into city lights. Down below, the Dubai Fountain show dances to Bollywood beats. Wrap up your first night with a shawarma under fairy-lit souk arches or dine at Armani Amal if you're feeling swanky.

Day 2

Old Dubai, spices and souks in the wind

Morning’s your downtime—hit the pool or explore cafes at Alserkal Avenue. By late afternoon, suit up for a desert safari with LocalHi. Bounce across dunes in a 4x4, try sandboarding, ride a camel into the sunset, and tuck into a barbecue dinner under the stars. With fire dancers, oud music, and dates dipped in Arabic coffee, the desert doesn’t just whisper—it sings.

Day 3

The desert calls, and the camels agree

Morning’s your downtime—hit the pool or explore cafes at Alserkal Avenue. By late afternoon, suit up for a desert safari with LocalHi.

Day 4

Islands, malls, and snow in the sand

Start at Palm Jumeirah—ride the monorail to Atlantis and wander the Lost Chambers Aquarium. Then, shake up your senses at Mall of the Emirates. Yes, this is where you ski indoors. After a few photo ops with penguins, head to Dubai Mall for a shop-and-sip spree. For dinner, book a table at Time Out Market—where 17 of Dubai’s top chefs serve the world on a plate. Don't miss the truffle fries or the kunafa brûlée.

Day 5

Culture in the morning, yachts by sunset

Stroll through Jumeirah Mosque (open to non-Muslims) and learn the roots of Emirati hospitality. Then get lunch at Ravi’s—an iconic Pakistani-Indian diner beloved by locals. By late afternoon, it’s yacht o’clock. Set sail from Dubai Marina, champagne in hand, skyscrapers gleaming all around. Watch the sun dip behind Ain Dubai, the world’s largest observation wheel. Back on shore, toast your last night with dinner at Pierchic or a cheeky late-night shawarma.

Day 6

One last sip of skyline

Depending on your flight, squeeze in a lazy brunch at The Sum of Us or % Arabica. Pick up some camel milk chocolate or saffron-infused dates for home. Then head to the airport, knowing Dubai isn’t a one-time affair—it’s a return trip waiting to happen.
