DAY 2 & 3
DUBAI

Bed and breakfast basis in the hotel.

Days at leisure in which you can do the following optional excursions or any of them: 

* Historical excursion to Dubai is a modern vision to the ancient city of Dubai.

Start the visit with a panoramic snapshot of photographs at Burj Al Arab, one of the most emblematic hotels in the world followed by a quick view of the Jumeirah Mosque – another very attractive place.

Later on, we see the impressive "Emirates Towers", two of the tallest buildings in the Middle East and Europe, passing by the palace of Sheikh Mohammed (Founder of today’s Dubai), continue to the historic and romantic Dubai Creek.

We will also visit the Dubai Museum, in which we will get a broad understanding of where the Emirati people really come from.

Finally we will experience the "Abra" (water taxi) where we will view the other bank of the creek and ending our tour at the exotic scents and flavours of the Spices souk and the biggest Gold Souk in the world.

* Safari in the desert: the tour begins in the afternoon between 15.30 and 16.00 hours in order to witness the beautiful Emirati sunset.

Pick up at the hotel in luxurious state-of-the-art 4 X 4 safari vehicles (up to 6 persons per vehicle) and experience a different way to surf through the desert dunes. The route goes though a natural oasis and camel farms.

The spectacular and unique scenery provides an excellent opportunity to immortalise the moment in a snapshot; the magic and glory of the Arabian sunset and the eternal beauty of the desert.

After sunset, we will finally arrive at the camp where we will sit in a traditional Arabic ambience.

Camel rides are available upon request right outside of the camp. Inside; however, indulge yourself with the aromatic Shisha (water pipe), sand-surfing, henna tattoos, or simply enjoy the feast.

Illuminated by the bright moon of Arabia, pamper yourself in a typical grilled meal with fresh salads and fruits under a sea of stars followed by an Arabic folkloric show including the famous belly dance.

Return to hotel and overnight.

* A FULL DAY ABU DHABI:

Abu Dhabi is the capital of the Emirates, the Manhattan of the Middle East and the administrative centre of the country.

On our way we will see the Jebel Ali Free Zone – the largest manmade port in the world. Upon arrival to Abu Dhabi we will first visit the Sheikh Zayed Mosque; it is the third largest in the world with capacity for up to 40 thousand people – many people call it the 21st century Tajj Mahal.

Next is a promenade across the infamous "Corniche" where you can view the artificial island of "Lulu" as well as many of the new projects that are currently in progress in the capital.

Followed by a visit to the "Breakwater" where one can take panoramic photos of Abu Dhabi and its contemporary skyline.

Next we will visit “Heritage Village” – which is a brief reproduction of what the country used to be prior to the discovery of black gold.

Later on we will visit the "Emirates Palace" which is the world's most luxurious 7-star Hotel originally designed to accommodate heads of state, monarchs and prime ministers that visited the region. Finally we will pass through the Palace Residence of Sheikh Zayed.

Lunch at a typical restaurant. After lunch and on our way back to Dubai, we will see the monuments considered symbols of Arab culture in Union Square and the Bin Zayed’s Sports City which has hosted 2009’s FIFA Club World Cup and will be hosting it in 2010 as well.

It is still in progress but will have the largest football stadium in the Middle East.
