EXCURSIONS AND TOURS

Dubai and the surrounding Emirates offer a wealth of interest for holidaymakers. It is a photographers’ paradise.

You can either take a leisurely walk around Dubai’s picturesque Creek, a natural inlet from the Gulf which bisect the city into Deira and Bur Dubai. From the Creek the large dhows set sail for India, East Africa, Iran and the Gulf countries just as they have done for centuries. Go from Deira and Bur Dubai on the small abras. Or just take a stroll around the various souks and streets.

A visit to the wind towers of the Bastakiya district with its narrow alleys. Worth a visit is the Dubai Museum.

A wide range of tours and excursions are available. By far the most popular is the desert safari. You will experience a luxury 4 wheel drive trip combining the excitement of dune driving by your experienced driver with a glimpse of Bedouin life, a camel farm and culminating, in a moonlit Arabian barbecue. Our guests give this the “thumbs up” and say it is yet another “Dubai must do”. There are numerous companies offering tours but we recommend you use one of the more reputable ones such as Arabian Adventures which is part of the Emirates Airlines Group.

There are a variety of tours available in Dubai from Dhow Dinner Cruise s to Nad Al Sheba Stable tours where you can visit the luxury racing stables of the Ruling Family of Dubai.

One of the best way to see Dubai is the hop on hop off Big Bus Company which offers magnificent views from the open top double decker bus. This is popular and visits all the main attractions in Dubai.
