Duniya Dekho Dubai Delight

Your UAE adventure begins as you land at Dubai International Airport. Outside, a Cox & Kings representative greets you warmly before escorting you to your hotel in the heart of the city. As you drive into the city, keep your eyes on the skyline as a game of “spot the Burj Khalifa” begins.

Settle in to your centrally located hotel in Bur Dubai after a smooth check-in and a refreshing welcome drink. Once you’ve rested and freshened up, take a short stroll around the neighbourhood or the Al Fahidi Historical District which is just a walk away. If you glance at the creek, you might catch sight of abras ferrying people across, a throwback to when Dubai was more a fishing port than a futuristic hub.

In the evening, step aboard a traditional wooden dhow, glowing with lights, and set sail against the skyline. Enjoy a lavish international buffet dinner, offering everything from Middle Eastern staples to global comfort food. Onboard entertainment keeps things lively and from the deck, watch landmarks like Ain Dubai, the Twisted Tower, and the glittering promenades slide by. Return to your hotel with the lights of Dubai still glittering in memory, and settle in for a restful overnight stay.

After a hearty breakfast, with lavish spreads of fruits, Indian favorites, and global choices to suit every palate, you will set off on a guided half-day city tour See the Burj Al Arab, Dubai’s iconic sail-shaped hotel, shimmering like a sail at sea, Jumeirah Beach with its perfect views, and Palm Jumeirah where villas sit like pearls on a string. You’ll also pass through Sheikh Zayed Road, a stretch that feels like a modern-day architectural exhibition.

Enjoy a hearty lunch before stopping by the Gold Souk and Spice Souk, where the air is thick with the scent of saffron, cardamom, and deals waiting to be struck. Later, make your way to the city’s crowning jewel, the Burj Khalifa. Ride the world’s fastest elevator up to the 124th floor and step out into a view that stretches from desert to sea.

Afterward, stroll down to the Dubai Mall and its waterfront to shop, and then witness the Dubai Fountain Show where families, couples, and children all stand in equal awe. To cap the day off, enjoy a wholesome Indian dinner before settling into your hotel room for a good night’s sleep.

After a sumptuous breakfast that blends Indian specialties, seasonal fruits, and worldwide cuisines, step back in time with a traditional abra ride across Dubai Creek, a glimpse into the city’s origins as a pearl-diving hub. Continue to the Dubai Frame, where a walk across the glass bridge reveals both old and new Dubai in one breathtaking frame.

Return to your hotel for a short rest before a homely lunch at a local Indian restaurant. Later in the afternoon, your desert adventure begins as a fleet of 4x4s awaits to take you dune-bashing across the golden expanse. As the sun dips, the desert blushes into orange and gold, creating the perfect photo moment.

Evening brings a Bedouin-style camp experience with henna, shisha, camel rides, and a sizzling BBQ dinner under the stars. The night comes alive with entertainment shows like belly dance, Tanoura spins, and fire performances before you return to your hotel for a much needed rest.

After you fuel up with a generous breakfast of fruits, Indian flavours, and more, drive along the iconic Sheikh Zayed Road to Abu Dhabi, the UAE’s serene capital. Begin at the awe-inspiring Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, a masterpiece of marble domes, chandeliers, and tranquil pools.

A panoramic drive along the Corniche follows before you stop for a warm lunch at Yas Mall. The afternoon is yours to spend at Yas Island’s theme parks, where thrill and imagination come to life. Choose between Ferrari World, with its record-breaking roller coasters, or SeaWorld Abu Dhabi and Warner Bros. Studios, both as educational as it is fun! 

Return to Dubai for your Farewell Gala Dinner, complete with live entertainment, making it a grand finale to an unforgettable journey. As the night falls upon Dubai, return to your room and settle in for one last restful nap in the heart of the city.

It’s your final morning in Dubai. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast, and if time permits, squeeze in a quick visit to the Gold Souk for last-minute souvenirs, from glittering bangles to the purest saffron and sweet dates, Dubai always gives you something to carry back home.

After a smooth hotel check-out, your chauffeur-driven transfer ensures a smooth journey back. As the skyline fades behind you, you carry more than just photos or souvenirs, a little piece of Dubai comes along with you.

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