Embark on an enchanting exploration of the United Arab Emirates' two jewels, Dubai and Abu Dhabi. From the moment you arrive at Dubai Airport, our warm meet-and-assist service ensures a smooth transition to your seaside sanctuary at The Radisson Beach Resort Palm Jumeirah, boasting views that capture the essence of coastal luxury.
Your journey weaves through the historic heart and soul of old Dubai, with its bustling souks and aromatic spices, and glides over the waters on a traditional Abra, offering a serene contrast to the pulsating city life. The Dubai Museum within the venerable walls of Al Fahidi Fort recounts tales of yesteryears, while the magnificent Jumeirah Mosque and the iconic Burj Al Arab stand as testaments to the city's architectural prowess.
As twilight descends, the desert calls for an adventure like no other—a safari that thrills and cultural experiences that charm. Amidst the vast sand dunes, partake in age-old customs at a Bedouin campsite, from henna painting to camel treks, before dining under the stars to the rhythm of Arabian nights.
In Abu Dhabi, modernity and tradition create a symphony of experiences. The grandeur of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the opulence of Qasr Al Watan, and the serene Corniche exemplify the capital's allure. The Louvre Abu Dhabi stands as a beacon of global culture, inviting dialogue through its masterful exhibits.
The Dubai Marina introduces a cosmopolitan vibe, while the grandiose Palm Jumeirah flaunts its man-made marvels. Souk Madinat Jumeirah's winding alleys and the world's largest mall offer retail indulgence, crowned by the sky-piercing Burj Khalifa's bird's-eye views.
The journey culminates with an awe-inspiring pre-dawn drone show in the desert, followed by a sunrise hot air balloon ride. Traverse the sands in vintage Land Rovers and savor a royal retreat with breakfast in the desert. A final farewell dinner on a private boat under the canopy of the Arabian sky offers a moment to reflect on the unforgettable memories made.
As your odyssey concludes, you're chauffeured back to the airport, leaving with a treasure trove of experiences from the land where luxury and legacy intertwine.

We offer two accommodation options to suit your travel style and comfort needs:
1. Single Occupancy Rooms: If you treasure privacy, are a light sleeper, or have specific sleep-related preferences, this is the ideal choice for you. Our single rooms provide a tranquil, personal environment, typically featuring a queen or king-size bed. This option is particularly recommended for those who may be sensitive to noises like snoring, or who prefer not to be disturbed.
2. Double Occupancy Rooms: This budget-friendly option allows travelers to share a room with another trip participant. We always aim for rooms with two twin or queen beds. However, due to varying global hotel standards, we cannot guarantee the availability of two separate beds in every location. There is a possibility of needing to share a bed. We emphasize that if you have concerns about sharing sleeping space, particularly if you are a light sleeper or have specific needs or sensitivities, it's advisable to choose a single room or upgrade your booking promptly. This ensures we can accommodate your request for an additional room, as we are unable to make changes to rooming arrangements during the trip.
To ensure a comfortable and enjoyable journey, please select your accommodation type based on your personal comfort requirements and sleeping habits. Our aim is to provide a memorable and hassle-free travel experience for all our guests!
This journey through the wonders of the UAE may not align with the preferences of every traveler. It may not be suited for:
- Budget Travelers: Those looking for a low-cost or budget travel experience may find this luxurious and activity-packed trip exceeding their planned expenditures.

- Low-Energy Travelers: The itinerary is quite packed and may be overwhelming for those who prefer a more relaxed, leisurely pace or have limited mobility.
- Off-the-Beaten-Path Adventurers: Travelers who favor less commercial, more off-the-beaten-path experiences may not enjoy the mainstream tourist attractions included in this trip.
- Minimalists: Those who travel minimally and are not interested in the grandeur of luxury hotels, shopping, and fine dining might not appreciate the opulent nature of the accommodations and activities.
- Nature Purists: While the trip includes natural experiences like desert safaris, it is heavily urban-centric and may not satisfy those looking to connect deeply with untouched natural environments.
If the points above resonate with you, it might be worth considering other travel opportunities that better match your travel style and preferences.

The Importance of Tipping
In Countries like this, tipping is more than just a gesture of appreciation; it's a crucial support to the local economy and a meaningful way to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of those who help make our trip memorable. The service staff, from drivers to restaurant servers, often go above and beyond to ensure we have an exceptional experience. Many locals depend on tourism for their livelihood, tips can significantly impact their well-being and ability to support their families.
Understanding this, we have established a collective tipping system to ensure fair and generous compensation for the services we receive. On the first day of our trip, we will collect a total of USD $200 from each participant. This amount is carefully calculated to cover all tipping needs throughout the week, including drivers, baggage handlers, , guides, and restaurant servers/staff etc .
This approach has several benefits:
1. Fair Distribution: It ensures that all service providers are fairly and adequately compensated for their efforts.
2. Convenience for Travelers: You won't have to worry about carrying change or figuring out the appropriate amount to tip for different services.
3. Solidarity and Support: It reflects our group's solidarity and support for the local community, recognizing the importance of their contributions to our travel experience.
By pooling our tips in this manner, we not only simplify the process for our guests but also make a meaningful contribution to the local economy. It's a way of saying 'thank you' and giving back to the people who work tirelessly to make our stay in Rwanda a truly remarkable and unforgettable experience.
