Upon arrival in Dubai, you will be met by a Ya’lla Tours USA representative and transferred to your hotel for overnight.
 We begin today in the Bastakiya area to see the traditional wind-tower houses
and visit the Dubai Museum in Al Fahidi Fort.
(If the Dubai Museum is closed, we will visit the Shindagha Museum and Perfume House instead).
For lunch, enjoy an authentic experience of Emirati traditions and culture at the Sheikh Mohamed Bin Rashed Al Maktoum Centre for Cultural Understanding (SMCCU). This non-profit organization is located in the Bastakia area in a lovely traditional wind-tower house. A homemade lunch will be served while a local Emirati guide speaks about the culture, tradition, and everyday lives of the Emirati people. Open dialogue and questions are encouraged, with the aim of promoting understanding and tolerance.
(This is a shared group lunch. Available Sundays and Tuesdays only.)
Meet your private guide again and cross the creek on an abra (the local water taxi) for a walk through the gold and spice market to admire the dazzling gold and take in the beautiful aromas of the local spices.
Next our tour takes us to the world’s tallest tower Burj Khalifah. Take the At The Top tour, a multi-media presentation on the history of Dubai, as well as the story of this incredible building. Begin in the reception area and end on the observation deck on the 124th floor.
We’ll take a short walk and a photo stop at Jumeirah Beach Residence, known as JBR. It's one of Dubai’s trendiest residential communities with more than 40 residential towers, restaurants, cafes, and a public beach.
We’ll continue to Palm Jumeirah, an architectural feat and a main landmark of Dubai. The scenic tour includes a drive along the trunk and onto the final branch of this man-made island, overlooking the Arabian Gulf and the iconic Atlantis Hotel.
Return to your hotel for overnight.
This morning, we’ll visit Dubai’s neighboring emirate, Sharjah. After a photo stop at the Cultural Roundabout, we will spend some time at the Islamic Civilization Museum, with displays of artifacts from all over the Muslim world.
Next stop at Al Eslah School Museum, Sharjah’s first formal educational institute, which opened in 1935.
Continue to the Heritage Museum, where you will discover Sharjah's rich and diverse heritage and explore traditions that have endured the test of time.
A visit to Sharjah is not complete without a stroll in the souks, where you can bargain for jewelry, handicrafts, and carpets, among other specialty items. Visit the Souk Al Arsah, the oldest in the country, and Souk Al Markazai, the largest souk in Sharjah with over 600 shops.
Finally, before leaving Sharjah, we'll stop for photos at the beautiful King Faisal Mosque. |
|
In the afternoon, board your luxury private 4X4 vehicle in Dubai and head out towards the desert. At the entrance of the desert your driver deflates the tires of the 4X4 and then the fun starts. Feel the thrill of desert driving as your professional driver takes you up and down on golden dunes. We’ll make a dune-top photo stop before heading out to the Bedouin camp. You are greeted with a traditional cup of Arabic coffee and have the opportunity for a short camel-ride before it is time to settle down for your barbeque dinner prepared on open fires in front of you. Later in the evening a belly dancer will enchant you with her dances, a truly magical night!
Return to your hotel in Dubai for overnight.
Today, we explore the highlights of Abu Dhabi. We start with a special visit to the Falcon Hospital. (This is a group tour with a Falcon Hospital guide. The Falcon Hospital is closed on Fridays and Saturdays.) Learn about the tradition of falconry and the care of falcons with a display of special tools and equipment. In the examination room, you will observe precious falcons undergoing feather repair, or manicure and pedicure. In the large aviary, a variety of falcons can be viewed perching or flying freely. Then, for the highlight, you have the opportunity to take photos with a majestic falcon sitting on your arm in the beautiful hospital garden.
Our next stop will be the Louvre Museum (closed on Mondays).
In 2007, France and Abu Dhabi came together to open the Louvre of Abu Dhabi to represent the dynamic nature of the contemporary Arab world. The museum was designed by the French architect Jean Nouvel, inspired by traditional Arab architecture and Abu Dhabi’s location between desert and sea.
We’ll make a photo stop at the iconic Emirates Palace Hotel, with its charming mix of Islamic & contemporary design.
Then we’ll take in some fresh sea air at the corniche and the breakwater of Abu Dhabi.
We continue to one of the icons of Abu Dhabi, Etihad Towers, where you can enjoy a slice of cake with tea or coffee as you take in the panoramic views from 300 meters above the city
Our last visit before we head back to Dubai will be to Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. This mosque is considered the greatest architectural treasure of contemporary UAE society, and one of the most beautiful mosques in the world. It was established by the late president HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who is fondly thought of as the father of the UAE.
You will be transferred to the airport for your departure flight.

Travel Tips
In General, June to September are the hottest months. Temperatures go up to 48 degrees (nights between 38-40) and Humidity soars to 90% on many days. October to May are very pleasant with an average temperature of 25-28 during the day and 16-20 at night. Sunscreen is always highly recommended as the sun is extremely bright especially during the summer months.
A valid passport is required for entry into the UAE.
Visitor visas are obtained upon entry.
Contact health authorities for the latest information.
Although very modern and cosmopolitan, Dubai is a conservative society and visitors are advised to dress appropriately out of respect for local custom. In public places, women should wear garments that cover their upper arms and legs. They should not appear in public dressed in shorts, tight trousers, bare-backed or low-cut dresses. Men should wear long trousers and shirts. Shorts and sun tops should only be worn at the beach or by the pool.
When visiting any mosque, women are required to cover their hair and décolleté.
We recommend that you wear loose comfortable clothing as it will be warm. Comfortable foot wear for walking is advisable. Desert visitors should have caps, sunscreen (sunscreen is recommended all over the countries as well especially in the hot weather).
The UAE uses the Emirati Dirham, which is pegged to the USD. 1 dollar = 3.65 dirhams. AtMs can be found in major commercial and tourist areas and major credit cards are widely accepted.
