Dubai · United Arab Emirates

Creek & Desert

4 Days / 3 Nights

Old Dubai’s creek and souks, the view from Burj Khalifa and an evening in the desert dunes.

A short city break that balances Dubai’s modern landmarks with its older trading heart around the Creek, where abras still cross between the souks.

One afternoon heads into the desert for the dunes and a quiet dinner at a camp, while the Premium package adds a day in Abu Dhabi.

Day by day

Day 1 Arrival in Dubai

Transfer from Dubai International Airport to your hotel, with an evening walk along Dubai Marina.

Day 2 Old Dubai & Burj Khalifa

Explore the Al Fahidi historical neighbourhood, cross the Creek by abra to the Gold and Spice Souks, then visit the Burj Khalifa observation deck and watch the Dubai Fountain.

Day 3 Mosque, beach & desert

A morning tour of the Jumeirah Mosque and time on the beach, then an afternoon dune drive and dinner at a desert camp.

Day 4 Departure

Transfer to Dubai International Airport.

Practical information

Temperatures are very high from June to September, so outdoor activities are best planned for cooler months or early mornings. Dress modestly in public places away from the beach and hotels, and cover shoulders, knees and hair at the mosque. During Ramadan some daytime services change; please also check current entry requirements for your nationality.

Questions

Is the desert evening suitable for children?

Generally yes, though the dune drive can be bumpy. Let us know the ages of the travellers and we will suggest the best option.
