After breakfast, our private car, driver and guide will be waiting to take you on a tour of this vibrant and fascinating city. You’ll begin inside the historic Al Fahidi Fort, built in 1787. Here the Dubai Museum offers well-curated exhibits that trace Dubai’s evolution from a quiet village of pearl divers and fishermen to a 21st-century icon of commerce, finance and style. Then cross Dubai Creek in a traditional Arabian abra to explore the bustling narrow alleyways of the gold and spice souks. At the Women’s Museum, you’ll learn about the historical and present-day cultural roles of women in the United Arab Emirates. Next you’ll admire the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Palace, the opulent residence of Dubai’s ruler and Prime Minister of the UAE. Admire the beautifully ornamented façade and minarets of the Jumeirah Mosque and then visit the Islamic Art Museum, heralded for its worldwide collection. Take in the spectacular sail-inspired silhouette of the Burj Al Arab before heading out for an unforgettable adventure in the desert… With our experienced professional driver in an air-conditioned 4x4 vehicle, you’ll venture across the undulating dunes outside of the city. Visit a camel farm and learn about the ancient nomadic traditions of the region. Then continue deeper into these desert landscapes to our enchanting campsite where you’ll be warmly greeted with Arabic coffee and sweet dates. Embark on a camel ride and enjoy some traditional folk dancing before a delicious barbecue dinner under the vast desert sky. Delight in the mesmerizing colors and slowly fading light as the sun dips below the horizon. Then as the stars begin to shine, enjoy some belly dancing before returning to your hotel in the city.
