You can enjoy modern adventures in a lavish city, experience traditional culture, and indulge in a tropical paradise. It is guaranteed to be a unique and unforgettable experience.
Dubai: A Fusion of Modernity and Tradition
Dubai is the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It was founded in the 18th century as a fishing village, but rapidly grew into a sprawling desert metropolis in the 21st century. Now it’s a financial hub in the Middle East, and a tourist attraction with a large focus on luxury. The city is known for having the second most five-star hotels, as well as the tallest building and largest mall in the world.
Your Itinerary In The United Arab Emirates
On your first day in Dubai, you will take a tour of the city full of futuristic buildings to visit the iconic landmarks they are well known for. You will drive across Palm Jumeirah, which is the world’s largest artificially made island, and home to several five-star hotels and luxury homes. You will visit Jumeirah beach, where you will be able to take some amazing photos. Other highlights include stops at the Jumeirah Mosque, the Marjan Gallery, the heritage area of Bastakiya and 225-year-old Fort Al Fahidi which houses the Dubai Museum. In the evening you will take a Dhow dinner cruise along the Dubai Creek, where you will enjoy Arabian music alongside a buffet of Continental and Oriental dishes.
When left on your own to explore the city the following day, you may want to visit the Dubai Mall, which is the largest in the world. Over 1,200 stores offer everything you could possibly be looking for, including high-end fashion and the latest electronics. The mall also has an aquarium, an ice rink, and a movie theatre. A return to the Dubai Creek is also a possibility, where you can ride a traditional wooden boat known as an Abra across the creek to explore the old souks (or markets) on the other side. It’s a glimpse into the past that you don’t want to miss.
During your visit to Dubai you will also have the option to visit the Burj Khalifa. Standing at 828 meters high, it is the world’s tallest building. A high-speed elevator will take you to the observation deck on the 124th floor, where you will get a bird’s eye view of city.
You will also get to spend a day in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE. Abu Dhabi is an island, and while there you will visit the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, one of the largest and most beautiful Mosques in the world. You will also get a chance to shop at Yas Mall, visit the iconic Louvre Museum of Abu Dhabi, take a stroll through Abu Dhabi’s Heritage Village, explore the Marjan gallery, and have a photo stop at the beautiful Emirates Palace.
Maldives: A Tropical Paradise At An Island Resort
To say the Maldives is a tropical paradise isn’t really doing it justice. The area consists of over 1,000 coral islands, with crystal-clear waters, pristine white-sand beaches, and vibrant marine life. It’s a dream come true for those looking to relax and unwind, and live in the moment at a luxury resort. You can spend your days swaying in your hammock, embracing the sun, enjoying a spa treatment, relaxing in your villa and swimming in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. If you are looking for more options, you are in luck as well.
The Maldives is home to some of the most beautiful coral reefs in the world. Visitors can go snorkeling and scuba diving to explore the underwater world of the area. They will spot colourful fish, sea turtles, and whale sharks. Visitors can even take a seaplane or a speedboat to explore the many islands of the Maldives, and catch a glimpse of the local culture found at traditional fishing villages and local markets.
