Dubai Golden Sand Escape

As you arrive at Dubai International Airport, a Cox and Kings representative warmly greets you and escorts you comfortably to your hotel. As you drive through the city, catch your first glimpse of Dubai’s iconic skyline, its glittering towers, and the unmistakable feel of a city that's constantly on the move. Check in to your hotel, sip something refreshing, and settle into your room shaking off the jet lag…

In the evening, step aboard your Marina Dhow Cruise, a wooden vessel glowing softly under the city lights. As you sail through the illuminated waterfront, you’ll see how beautifully Dubai’s skyscrapers rise around you. On board, enjoy a fresh international buffet dinner paired with live entertainment, including the traditional Tanoura dance.

As the dhow glides back to the marina and the night begins to settle, return to the hotel, take your time to unwind, maybe flip through your photos and let the night ease you into a good night’s rest.

Start your morning with a hearty breakfast featuring global and Indian favourites. Soon after, depart for your half-day Dubai city tour with the group. Drive down the iconic Sheikh Zayed Road, stop for photos outside the Dubai Museum, pass the historic Creek district, and capture the beauty of the iconic Jumeirah Mosque. Continue to Jumeirah Beach, Burj Al Arab and the Palm Jumeirah, with a brief photo stop at the Atlantis exterior.

After lunch at an Indian restaurant, head to the Burj Khalifa and ascend to the 124th floor on an express elevator. The elevator whisks you upward faster than you can track, and the view that greets you is magnificent; desert, sea, and city stretching endlessly in every direction. 

After dinner at an Indian restaurant, let the city lights guide you back toward your hotel. Back in your room, stretch out, and let the incredible views from the Burj Khalifa drift back into your mind. With a full day behind you and more experiences ahead, wind down and sink into a restful sleep.

After a delicious breakfast, begin your day at Miracle Garden; the world’s largest natural flower garden. Wander past its giant floral sculptures, heart-shaped pathways, themed displays, and installations inspired by global icons. Every sight here shows you a burst of colour and creativity, making it one of Dubai’s most photogenic attractions.

Enjoy a hearty lunch with the group at an Indian restaurant before continuing to Global Village. Spread across sprawling grounds, this open-air cultural park brings together the world in one place. Explore pavilions from over 70 countries, browse crafts, sample international street food, and enjoy live performances and dazzling replicas of world monuments. 

After savouring a warm dinner at an Indian restaurant that rounds out the evening, make your way back to the hotel, still carrying the colours, sounds and tastes of Global Village. Once in your room, relax and let your feet rest after a day full of exploration.

Begin the day with a nourishing breakfast before heading to the iconic Dubai Frame. Witness the sky bridge offering sweeping views; old Dubai on one side, new Dubai on the other, capturing the city’s past and present in a single frame. Afterward, enjoy a hearty lunch with the group lunch at an Indian restaurant.

Later in the afternoon, get ready for your adrenaline-filled desert safari. Ride across the dunes in a 4x4 as the landscape shifts from gold to amber. Once you reach the campsite and the sun begins to dip behind the sand, the evening comes alive with tanoura performances, a horse show, fire acts, and belly dancing. A delicious barbecue dinner follows, set right in the heart of the desert under the stars. 

After an eventful night, return to your hotel and unwind. Back in your room, get fresh, settle into bed, and let the day’s beautiful amalgam of adrenaline and culture lull you into a good night's sleep.

After fuelling up with a sumptuous breakfast, travel to Abu Dhabi with the group for a full-day city tour. Along the way, take in the capital’s architectural beauty, its sweeping marina views, and its rich cultural character. The visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque brings it all together; gleaming white marble, intricate floral inlays, quiet reflective pools, and a sense of peace that’ll be with you throughout the day.

After a group lunch at an Indian restaurant, continue to the BAPS Hindu Temple, one of the newest spiritual landmarks in the region, known for its detailed craftsmanship and serene ambience. In the evening, return to Dubai for a dinner with familiar flavours before making your way back to the hotel.

On your drive back into Dubai after dinner, witness the skyline slowly return, glowing against the night and welcoming you back. Once you reach your hotel, take a slow moment to unwind before you retreat to your room for your restful night in Dubai…

Enjoy one last relaxed breakfast in Dubai before checking out of the hotel. Your chauffeur escorts you to Dubai International Airport for your flight home, ensuring that your departure is  as smooth as the journey itself.

As you make your way to the airport, the city slips into the background with the same ease with which it welcomed you on arrival. The memories of illuminated mosques, souks, golden dunes and waterfront nights settle in gently, a soft, fitting close to a journey filled with contrasts and colour.

Great journeys never end, they aspire to inspire the next. Until next time…

Expertly yours.
