If ever there was a great holiday for Dubai sightseeing, that would be a Dubai 5 days holiday tour package. This cosmopolitan city is filled with sightseeing, activities, landmark sites to check out, cultural fun, and entertainment. The following is a practical guide on how to use your time in the beautiful city of Dubai for maximum benefit and surely derive a lot from one of the world’s great cities.
Day 1: Arrival and Evening Desert Safari
You will be welcomed upon arrival at the airport and your heart will pump as you take in Dubai’s stunning future-ready skyline as you enter the city limits. Once your hotel is booked and you are settled in, you can start your Dubai journey with one of the most popular things to do in Dubai city tour – you will go on a desert safari!
The desert safari will have you driving a rugged vehicle over golden sand dunes as far as the eye can see in the magnificent Arabian Desert. At dusk, the desert transitions into a magical world where the sunset manifests in colors of orange and pink. The evening will be topped off with a delicious barbecue dinner under the stars with traditional Bedouin-style entertainment like tanoura dancing and belly dancing.
Day 2: Iconic Landmarks of Modern Dubai
On day two, we will experience all of the most acclaimed features of Dubai. First, we will visit Burj Khalifa in the early morning. Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world. You will take an elevator to the 124th floor to visit the viewing deck and have a view of the city and surrounding area.
After their views, we will proceed to the Dubai Mall. It is not only shopping in the Dubai Mall but also places like the Dubai Aquarium and Dubai Fountain. You will also be interested in standing in front of Burj Al Arab, the world’s only seven-star hotel and famous for its sail-shaped structure.
Right beside the Dubai Mall, you’ll want to walk along The Dubai Marina and have lunch at one of the marina restaurants.
Day 3: Old Dubai and Cultural Heritage
On day three, you’ll take a trip back in time to see the cultural and heritage side of Dubai city tour. Begin your journey in Old Dubai where you will find the highly trafficked Gold Souk and Spice Souk. The souks are traditional markets and are astoundingly beautiful, with the glistening jewelry and aromas of exotic spices wafting through the air.
Next, jump on an abra (a traditional wooden boat) and cross the Dubai creek to the Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood. As you wander the streets, lined with wind-tower and traditional architecture, you’ll experience art galleries inside quaint buildings, the duel of huge structure next to call to mind a heritage that only a few would recognize.
Day 4: Adventure and Leisure
The fourth day is time to have adventure and unwind. Start your day at IMG Worlds of Adventure or Dubai Parks and Resorts, a day filled with adventure and themed attractions. Whether you are a family enjoying a holiday or just thrill seekers on an adventure, both parks have something for everyone.
In the afternoon, head to Jumeirah Beach or La Mer, grab a sunbed or enjoy the sand and sun. Take time to chill out by the fantastic turquoise waters or if you’re feeling extra adventurous then try out activities like jet skiing and paddleboarding.
Finish the day at Global Village (a cultural and entertainment destination). The experience starts out with themed pavilions from all over the world, stop in to check out how other cultures live, eat, drink, and perform.
Day 5: Luxury and Farewell
On the last day of your trip, do all the posh things that say “Dubai.” You could begin with some over-the-top breakfast at one of the city’s restaurants or hotels. After that, you may have the time to go to visit Palm Jumeirah-the famous palm tree-shaped artificial island. Ride the monorail with scenic views, stop at Atlantis, The Palm to either visit the Lost Chambers Aquarium or slide away some adrenaline at the Aquaventure Waterpark.
Lastly, for the last communal activity, book a Dhow Cruise Dinner on the Dubai Creek/Dubai Marina.
