Family Tour of Dubai

(7 Days - Departs Daily on a Private Basis)
Dubai, Arabian Desert

Dubai is a great family destination, offering something for everyone. This private luxury tour includes cultural touring, soft-adventure activities, time for beachside relaxation, and a stay in the Arabian Desert.

In Dubai, your private guide and driver will tailor the touring to your family’s interests, with options that include traveling by abra (water taxi) across Dubai Creek, browsing the spice and gold souks, visiting a water park, or hitting the indoor slopes at Ski Dubai. Also tour the Heritage and Diving Village to learn about the cultural history of the region. One evening, enjoy an Arabian feast on a traditional dhow boat. If desired, opt to visit one of Dubai’s legendary malls or perhaps stop by the world famous Burj Al Arab hotel for a meal. Other options we can arrange in Dubai include flying in a seaplane or hot air balloon over the city, desert and water.

One day, take a private excursion to the neighboring emirate of Sharjah to tour its heritage district, arts area and dozens of fascinating museums.

Another day, take a private excursion to Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE. Visit Abu Dhabi’s most interesting cultural sights, such as the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, Al Hosn Palace, the Cultural Foundation, Heritage Village and Emirates Palace. See local women creating traditional handicrafts, such as embroidery and woven textiles, and watch traditional wooden boats being built at the Dhow Yard. Also, discover the many cultural attractions and visionary structures planned for Saadiyat Island.

Accommodation in Dubai is at the Atlantis, a luxurious beach resort on The Palm that has its own water park, aquarium, dolphin lagoon, retail outlets and high-end restaurants. Alternatively, stay at one of Dubai's best beach resorts geared towards families with older members.

Next, you will be privately transferred into the Arabian Desert for two nights at a luxurious Arabian fort-style resort surrounded by sand dunes and palm trees. Enjoy an incredible desert safari: drive through the sand dunes, watch the sunset over the desert, ride a camel, and have dinner in a Bedouin camp while being entertained with henna painting and belly dancing. Other touring options include 4WD sand dune rides, riding Arabian horses, nature walks, participating in traditional Bedouin falconry, spa treatments, or relaxing by the pool. Younger children can explore the many fun and educational options at the resort’s kids club.
