Dubai – Abu Dhabi 5 days

Meet at Athens International Airport “Eleftherios Venizelos” and take off for our trip to enchanting Dubai.
Arrival at Abu Dhabi airport, transfer to the hotel in Dubai and overnight stay.

After breakfast we set off to get to know cosmopolitan and enchanting Dubai. You will discover the city of Dubai with its unique architecture. We will start with a visit to THE PALM, Palm Island, built out in the sea. Our first photo stop is at the hotel of the stars, Atlantis The Palm. From there we will take the MONORAIL for a unique panoramic ride to Nakheel Mall. Here, those who wish will go up to the 52nd floor of THE VIEW and enjoy, from a height of 240 metres, a 360-degree panoramic view of the whole Palm, Dubai Marina, Madinat Jumeirah and much more. Those who do not go up will have free time in the Mall. Next we will visit the unique Madinat Jumeirah, the famous “Venice” of the Arab Emirates. At Madinat Jumeirah you can take a stroll through the folk art shops and buy souvenirs of Dubai. We continue our tour with the Jumeirah area, with its villas and its unique beach. Right next to it stands Dubai’s 7* symbol hotel, the Burj Al Arab. Photos outside, and anyone who wishes can book a tour inside the hotel by a butler (for another day) and try a cappuccino with gold leaf. We continue to Bur Dubai, with the folklore museum (if open) housed in the old Al Fahidi fort (Al Fahidi St.), passing through the traditional Bastakiya district. Unique souks and bazaars with thousands of colours and scents, and the textile market. On the Creek’s characteristic local water taxi, the abra, we will cross to the DEIRA area and the world-famous Gold and Spice souks, whose goods still arrive, as in the past, from various countries of the East. You can find spices and gold at very low prices. Free time. Departure for the Dubai Mall for your shopping. Here you will find the largest fountains in the world, dancing to the sound of music in front of the world’s tallest skyscraper, the Burj Khalifa. Those who wish have the opportunity to go up the tallest building. Make your booking at our office. Free time at your disposal; your options are many. Free programme and return by local transport.

Breakfast, and we suggest you start at the Dubai Frame, for the enchanting view and also for the museum on the mezzanine. Get to know the city’s ancient past. See a series of exhibits and video presentations depicting the way of life of the Emirate’s Bedouin, and learn what Dubai will be like in the future in the modern gallery. A virtual metropolis presents the city 50 years from now, with its latest projects, how people will live, travel and much more. Dubai unveiled its latest attraction, a giant picture frame framing the two contrasting faces of the city: its historic buildings and its modern buildings, old and modern Dubai. We continue to the unique Miracle Garden, the largest natural flower garden in the world (over 150,000,000 flowers), which opened on Valentine’s Day in 2013. Early in the afternoon we will set off on a unique desert adventure by 4x4 Jeep. After dune bashing in the 4x4 Jeeps and photos at sunset, we will end up at Bedouin tents. There Bedouins will welcome us in keeping with Arab hospitality, offering us traditional tea, and we will have the chance to enjoy a short camel ride. Dinner tonight will be a barbecue in the tent under the desert sky, where we will watch traditional dances. Late in the evening we return to our hotel, overnight stay.

After breakfast at the hotel you have the whole day free. Do your shopping at the OUTLET DUBAI MALL (10:00-14:00). In the afternoon, don’t miss the unique Dubai by night, on which you will essentially see the rest of the city and enjoy your cruise. In the afternoon the magical optional journey through Dubai by night begins. We will set off at 16:00 from the hotel and pass through the Dubai City Walk District, a new neighbourhood where you will have free time for photos. We continue to our next stop at Bluewaters and The Walk at Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), also called Miami Beach Dubai by the locals, 1.7 kilometres long, a popular promenade where you can shop and take a stroll by the sea. The busy seafront boulevard offers the chance to shop at a range of stores and boutiques. We will enjoy the sunset and have the chance to take photos against the backdrop of the impressive Dubai Eye (Ain Dubai), the tallest in the world at 250 metres. Free time (90 minutes). Transfer to the pier and boarding of a traditional boat (dhow) to begin our cruise around the Marina (DUBAI MARINA). Enjoying the lights and the uniqueness of the city, have fun at the same time with music, a show and food. Our next stop is the Palm and THE POINTE. The Palm Fountain is a man-made fountain officially inaugurated on 22 October 2020, designed and built by the Chinese. The Palm Fountain is the largest seawater musical fountain in the world. It is equipped with shooters able to spray water up to 105 metres into the air and has over 3,000 LED lights. The fountain was designed with sustainability in mind: for example, the water circulates directly from the sea without the need for special storage or filtering equipment, and each show is choreographed using energy-saving technology. Free time to enjoy the unique view of the HOTEL ATLANTIS. On the way back to the hotel we will admire the unique MUSEUM OF THE FUTURE, which opened on 22/02/2022, the most high-tech and beautiful attraction in the country.

Breakfast and departure for the airport and our return to Athens (Greece). Our trip to Dubai has come to an end and we return happy, with the best memories of our wonderful trip.
