About This Experience
Four nights that cover the Dubai everyone pictures: the view from the Burj Khalifa, a drive into the red dunes at sunset, dinner on a dhow among the towers of Dubai Marina, and the flowers and food of the city's two great winter attractions. Your driver-guide meets you at the airport and handles every transfer, so the days run without you having to plan them. It suits a first visit, couples, friends and families alike.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Old and New Dubai in Half a Day
The city tour follows our Half Day Dubai City Tour: photo stops at the golden 150-metre Dubai Frame, the Jumeirah Mosque and the Burj Al Arab, a drive out along Palm Jumeirah, and an abra across Dubai Creek to the Gold and Spice Souks. It is the quickest way to understand how the city grew. If you would like a whole day, the Full Day Dubai City Tour adds more stops.
At the Top of the Burj Khalifa
Your Burj Khalifa At the Top ticket takes you to levels 124 and 125, 452 metres up, with indoor and outdoor viewing decks over Downtown Dubai and the Dubai Fountain. Sunset is the most popular time and books up first. Our Burj Khalifa ticket guide explains the Silver, Gold and Platinum tickets if you want to go higher.
An Evening in the Desert
The Evening Desert Safari picks you up in the afternoon for about 30 minutes of dune driving in the red dunes of Lahbab, a sunset stop on the crests, then an evening at camp: camel rides, sandboarding and henna, a BBQ buffet dinner, and tanoura and fire shows. Tell the driver if you would like the dune drive gentler.
Dinner on a Dhow in Dubai Marina
The Dhow Cruise Dinner in Dubai Marina sails for about 90 minutes past the Marina towers and the Yacht Club, with an international buffet that includes vegetarian dishes, a tanoura show, and an air-conditioned lower deck or an open upper deck.
Miracle Garden and Global Village
Dubai Miracle Garden fills 72,000 square metres with more than 150 million flowers; its 2026–27 season opened on 8 October and runs to 31 May (see our Miracle Garden guide). In the evening, Global Village brings pavilions from more than 80 countries, street food, carnival rides, concerts and fireworks together on one site.
WHERE YOU STAY
You choose the hotel standard and the area, and breakfast is included every morning. Downtown Dubai puts you beside the Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall; Dubai Marina and JBR are on the beach, with the promenade and its restaurants on the doorstep; Bur Dubai and Deira, around the old souks and Dubai Creek, are the best value and full of Indian and vegetarian restaurants. Tell us what matters most to you and we suggest hotels with your quote.
