Dubai Highlights from Burj Al Arab to Burj Khalifa

  • Meet in the lobby of your hotel for a panoramic tour that introduces you to one of the most developed cities on the planet, the city of tomorrow, where incomparable projects are under construction. We will begin with a panoramic stop at the Burj Al Arab in Madinat Jumeirah, the 7-star hotel, where you will have the opportunity to take photographs.
  • Afterwards, we will head to Jumeirah Mosque, a blend of Ottoman and Arabic art. We will continue with a visit to the traditional Bastakya neighbourhood, a journey into the past through its streets and wind towers, home to the first natural air conditioning, as well as the coffee museum and its art galleries.
  • Next, we will stop at the fabric market, where you can browse and purchase an endless selection of silk, cotton, and embroidered fabrics. You are sure to find the exact designs and colours you are looking for among the hundreds of fabric rolls. This is followed by an Abra (water taxi) ride across the Creek. You will experience the exotic aromas of the Spice Souk and the glitter of gold at one of the largest Gold Souks in the world. The tour ends at Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest tower at 828 meters. Optionally, you can choose to stay in the mall or return to the hotel.
