Day by Day
A detailed day-by-day plan for this 8-day journey.
Marhaba! On arrival at Dubai International Airport you are met and transferred in private comfort to your luxury hotel. Settle into your romantic base, then step out for a first evening stroll along the glittering Marina or Downtown, where the lights of the world's most futuristic city set the tone for the days ahead.
This morning, ascend the Burj Khalifa to Levels 124 and 125 for a jaw-dropping panorama over city, sea and desert, followed by a rooftop meal with the skyline at your feet. As the day softens, board a private luxury yacht for a sunset cruise along Dubai Marina, gliding past Atlantis, the Palm and Ain Dubai with a glass of something chilled in hand.
Rise before the sun for an unforgettable hot-air balloon flight, drifting silently over the rolling dunes as dawn paints the desert gold. After a relaxed day, the evening brings a premium desert safari with dune bashing, camel rides and — just for you — a private VIP Majlis where you watch Tanoura and fire shows and enjoy a lavish BBQ dinner beneath a canopy of stars.
A more relaxed day to enjoy Dubai's dazzling side. Take in The View at the Palm at prime sunset hours, gazing over the iconic palm-shaped island and the shimmering coastline. Later, lose yourselves in AYA Universe, an immersive world of light, sound and wonder — a magical, dreamlike experience for two.
Spend a fun-filled day at the legendary Atlantis Aquaventure, one of the world's greatest waterparks, with record-breaking slides, a lazy river and private beach. Cool off together, then wander the Lost Chambers Aquarium among 65,000 marine creatures. The evening is free for a romantic dinner of your choosing.
Transfer to elegant Abu Dhabi, the UAE's stately capital. This afternoon, explore the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the first universal museum in the Arab world, its treasures gathered beneath a vast floating silver dome. Continue to the magnificent Qasr Al Watan, a working Presidential Palace of dazzling Arabian craftsmanship, before checking in to your Abu Dhabi hotel.
A day of excitement on Yas Island, the UAE's entertainment capital, with entry to two theme parks of your choice — the record-breaking rides of Ferrari World, the magic of Warner Bros World, the marine wonders of SeaWorld or the splashes of Yas Waterworld. A joyful, memory-making finale to your honeymoon.
After a leisurely breakfast, your private transfer takes you to Abu Dhabi International Airport for your onward flight, carrying home the memories of the most glamorous start to married life.
