Why this journey

Discover Dubai and Abu Dhabi over six days with a balanced mix of guided sightseeing, signature experiences, and time to explore on your own. This group holiday is based in Dubai for the full stay, with premium hotel accommodation, daily breakfast, and transfers arranged for the included activities so the trip stays straightforward from arrival to departure.

The journey begins with an evening at Dubai Marina, where a dhow dinner cruise sets the tone with skyline views, buffet dining, and traditional onboard entertainment. The next day brings a guided half-day city tour of Dubai, combining the city’s modern landmarks with photo stops and time around Dubai Mall and the fountain area.

A desert safari follows, adding a more energetic side to the itinerary with dune bashing, camp entertainment, and dinner under the open sky. The pace then shifts with a full-day excursion to Abu Dhabi, where the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque offers a striking cultural contrast before the visit continues to Ferrari World for a one-park entry experience.

The final day in Dubai is kept free for independent sightseeing, shopping, or optional add-ons, giving you room to shape the trip around your own interests before returning home from Dubai International Airport. It is a compact UAE holiday that combines city views, desert landscapes, and theme-park energy without overloading the schedule.
