Tours to the U.A.E. and the Arabian Peninsula

A Taste of Dubai 3 days/2 nights 2008 Tour Dates: Anytime. Contact us and let us know when you'd like to go. Visitors to Dubai are dazzled by the fantastic man-made real estate projects and the upscale shopping. Yet, here too we find contradiction with modernity in the daily observance of Islam and the continuation of the Bedouin tradition and life style. Kutrubes Travel offers this tour to the UAE for the first time in 2008 and can also design custom itineraries to Oman, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the other emirates of the region.

Day 1: Arrival/Dinner Dhow Cruise Arrival Dubai International Airport where you will be met and assisted to your hotel. At 7:30pm embark on a romantic 2 1/2 hour dinner cruise aboard a Dhow as its slips silently along Dubai Creek by moonlight. Your Dhow is a replica of the traditional ancient wooden vessels of Dubai that plied the waters of the Persian Gulf for centuries pearling and trading with neighbors. Dubai Creek, in the heart if the city, bustles day and night with working Dhows and affords an intriguingly different view of the city intertwining traditional and modern. You see the old splendid architecture of Dubai such as the Sheikh Saeed's house and the Heritage Village. Entertainment and Buffet Dinner is served along with complimentary soft drinks and mineral water. After the cruise guests can take in the liveliest hotspots on their own in Dubai or return back to the hotel for overnight. (D) Day 2: Dubai City Tour At 9:30 am we will begin to discover old and new Dubai on a 4 1/2 hour city tour. Our route takes us to some of Dubai's most beautiful landmarks like the magnificent Mosque in Jumeirah, Jumeirah Beach, and the Burj Al Arab Hotel, the most luxurious and tallest hotel in the world. Visit Dubai Race and Golf Club and continue past the sheikh's palace where no photos are allowed. After a short break by the Creak to view the amazing architecture of Deira Towers, we will visit the fascinating underground Dubai Museum and the colorful textile market. On an Abras or private water taxi we cross to the other side of the Creek. After a short walk we reach the world famous Dubai Gold Souq with its amazing vast collection of dazzling gold jewelry. Afternoon - Desert Safari with BBQ At 4:00pm we begin our six hour Desert Safari where you will experience the thrill of a roller coaster ride on the sand dunes. We will pause on the highest sand dune to view the beautiful sunset, then continue our journey to the Bedouin campsite located in the heart of the Desert. Soft drinks, water, tea or coffee are available for you. Try a Camel ride or the local shisha or Hubbly Bubbly in different flavors. While you relax and recline in the tents with carpets and pillows, a delicious BBQ will be prepared under the starlit sky. To add to the atmosphere, an enchanting belly dancer will dance for you to the rhythm of Arabic Music. After the performance, the BBQ buffet dinner will be served. Our safari drivers wait patiently to bring guests safely back to their comfortable hotel for the overnight stay.
