Itinerary

Day 1 Dubai

Dubai is one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and is one of the country's main cities, sometimes called "Dubai City" to distinguish it from the emirate. Famous for its soaring skyline rising from the desert, it is a relatively new, world-class city, which is growing quickly. Famous sights like the Burj Dubai, the world's only six star hotel, and the massive Palms mini-city, and its indoor ski hills - its an exciting city and worth a stopover.

A representative will meet and greet you upon your arrival into Dubai, with a welcome package and transfer you to your hotel.

One&Only Royal Mirage pays tribute to Arabian architecture and hospitality on a truly regal scale. Considered the most stylish resort on Jumeirah Beach, it comprises three equally distinctive properties - The Palace, Arabian Court and Residence & Spa. First opened in 1999 and featuring 231 guest rooms, The Palace at One&Only Royal Mirage sits on a private beach offering rich leisure facilities. Temperature-controlled swimming pools, water-sports centre, tennis courts, golf putting green, children’s care center and most importantly, a tranquil haven for rest and relaxation. With four restaurants, The Palace offers an array of dining venues, and the Royal Ballroom caters for up to 350 guests and three meeting rooms offer a complete business solution.

Day 2 Dubai

Modern Dubai offers visitors a diverse experience from the unforgettable charm of traditional souks to inspiring modern skyscrapers. This tour starts with the World's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, situated right next the one of the world's largest shopping malls, the Dubai Mall, where you will have the opportunity to experience “At The Top.” Begin your vertical ascent to the observation deck in a high-speed elevator, traveling at 10 meters per second. As the doors open, floor-to-ceiling glass walls provide a breath-taking unobstructed 360-degree view of the city, desert and ocean. You will visit the 50m long, designed to a world class standards aquarium, and experience the exotic wonders of aquatic life first-hand through breathtaking views. Traveling through these, you will be treated to an exceptional underwater experience as you meet eye to-eye with sharks, stingrays and other species of fish in their natural habitat. You will then drive towards Dubai Marina district, which offers an exclusive environment for living, leisure and business, only to be followed by the world`s largest man-made island, that has captured the world's imagination with its magnificent scale and ingenuity, called The Palm Jumeirah. A brief photo stop opposite the luxurious Atlantis The Palm Hotel offers a magnificent, oceanic tribute to a mythological age. A vast water scape, Atlantis The Palm is a place of sunken aquatic chambers, submerged ruins, and exhilarating water rides To conclude this unforgettable tour, enjoy the experience of having a “High Tea” at the only 7-star, world famous hotel, Burj Al Arab. Designed to resemble a billowing sail, this architectural marvel soars to a height of 321 meters, dominating the Dubai Jumeirah skyline. Illuminated at night by choreographed art-light, representing water and fire Burj Al Arab is simply individual, inspired, impressive!

Or, enjoy the leisurely tidal effect of Torrent River. The largest family play-structure in the region, 10 slides, 2 dumping buckets, rope-bridges, water jets and climbing frames - will keep younger guests excited and amused all day long.
