Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the Miracle Garden

Activity Level:

Summary

For a comprehensive insight into the cultural heritage, traditions, archaeological and conservation efforts of the United Arab Emirates, this brand new tour showcases an intriguing region. Starting in Dubai we have panoramic tours of the city to immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of both old and new from the metropolis modern Dubai visiting Downtown, Jumeirah Beach and Palm Jumeirah. Rubbing shoulders with the new is the heritage area of Bastakiya with its charming wind towered houses and the Saruq Al Hadid archaeological site. A traditional Emirati experience awaits at the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding followed with an exciting journey by Abra - traditional boat, to cross the Creek towards the Spice Market and Gold Souk.

Each season, as the warmer weather begins to cool, Dubai Miracle Garden – the world’s largest natural flower garden - opens its doors to a kaleidoscope of colour. More than 150 million blooms capture the imagination with breathtaking landscaping.

In the company of our conservation guide, we step back in time to experience Dubai as it was in the 1950s on an adventure in the Dubai desert, with a nature drive through the Dubai Conservation Reserve for a sunset falcon show, before enjoying an authentic torch-lit private Bedouin camp dinner with cultural Emirati entertainment. A day tour to the Emirate’s capital Abu Dhabi finds us exploring the Sheik Zayed Grand Mosque, Heritage Village, Qasr Al Watan Palace and Louvre Museum. Included is free time to explore and optional excursions to allow you to enjoy this fabulous country at a pace that suits you.
