Itinerary
Day 1: Night Cruise with Sea Breeze & Dinner
We start our trip to the United Arab Emirates in Dubai. This is also where we are based for the entire duration of our tour. It is from here we make daily excursions, which are packed with unique adventures and excitement. Today we pick you up from the airport and take you to your hotel. In the evening, we go on a traditional boat cruise inside the marina. Dinner is included on this evening’s cruise.
Day 2: Helicopter Ride, Nonstop Activities in the Desert & Belly Dancing
There is no better way for us to start this morning than with a flightseeing tour over Dubai. Afterwards, we head to the desert. There we go dune bashing, sand boarding, quad riding and camel riding as well as watch a belly dance show. Dinner is included on today’s tour.
Day 3: The Presidential Palace, a Dates Market, an Island & a Grand Mosque
Today we are making a daytrip to Abu Dhabi, specifically to Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Yas Island, the city waterfront, Dates Market, Emirates Palace and the Presidential Palace. We are provided with a private and fully guided tour. We also have our own private driver.
Day 4: Warm Waters, Snorkeling & Lots of Arab Markets
Our morning begins with a drive to the town of Fujairah. From there, we go snorkeling in warm waters. We then return to Dubai and are provided with a private and fully guided city tour. Dubai’s greatest draws are its lavish hotels, exotic beaches and hard-to-beat shopping opportunities. This city is so young yet located in a region so old. Highlights for today in Dubai include Gold Souk, Perfume Souk, Spice Souk and Bur Dubai (a.k.a. Old Dubai).
Day 5: Exploring Dubai’s Most Famous Attractions
Best known for its white sands, clear waters and prestigious, innovative and world-renowned hotel resorts (think seven-star hotel), Dubai has rightfully been a mecca for tourists for several years now. To describe the city of Dubai with few words: one giant mall! True, Dubai is not generally known for its historical landmarks. Nonetheless, its modernistic attractions are both impressive and undeniably creative. These below are the highlights for today.
1. Dubai Frame: This is a contemporary looking landmark.
2. Dubai Mall
3. Burj Khalifa Skyscraper: The views from atop are great.
4. Souk Madinat
5. Ski Dubai: Here you can see an indoor ski resort. Note that skiing is not a part of today’s tour.
6. Dubai Miracle Garden
7. Global Village: This is a cultural, entertainment and shopping destination. (seasonal)
Day 6: Our Tour Ends This Morning
Transportation will be arranged for you to reach the airport in Dubai.

As a female solo traveler I have truly enjoyed every second of my stay with this company. I was very nervous but because they were so organized I was able to relax and not have to think too much on my trip. This was a dream come true for me and it’s absolutely worth it. The best part is I get a personal concierge in case I need anything I would do it again and highly recommend this trip.

I had never been to Asia before, but this tour made me want to go back whenever I get the chance again. You get to do a bit of everything around Emirates, whether it’s going on a boat cruise, driving in the desert, visiting a palace, and much more. I highly recommend this tour of Charlie’s.

Charlie is a great person who is also great at planning tours like this. Going with a company that plans everything well for you just lifts such a lift off your shoulder. I didn’t have to worry about anything because everything was well thought of. United Arab might have been the first tour I took of Charlie’s, but it won’t be the last, that’s for sure.
