Desert and city in one simple package

This combo pairs a morning desert safari with a full-day Dubai city tour, so you see the dunes and the skyline without arranging two separate trips. You are collected from your hotel on both days, and one driver-guide team looks after you throughout.

Day one starts early, when the sand is cooler and the light is soft. You drive into the red dunes in a 4x4, stop for photos, try sandboarding and finish with a camel ride and refreshments at a desert stop before returning to your hotel to rest.

Day two is a guided tour of Dubai: Downtown with Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall, the Palm viewpoint, the Dubai Frame area and the creek side of Old Dubai with its souks. It works well for first-time visitors who want the main sights in a relaxed order.
