About the Trip
In Dubai you rise to the top of the Burj Khalifa, cruise the Marina by private yacht, ride the dunes on a premium safari and wander the old souks. Then a private transfer sweeps you to the capital, where the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the Presidential Palace of Qasr Al Watan and the thrills of Yas Island fill your days. Long lunches and fine dinners are woven throughout — this is full board done properly.
Everything moves by private, air-conditioned car with your own driver, and a licensed guide brings each site to life. All you do is turn up and enjoy two of the world's most spectacular cities at their most generous.
