Highlights

As far as skylines go, Dubai’s is a hard one to beat. What started life as a fishing village less than 200 years ago is now famous across the world as one of the most photogenic urban cities.

On this eye-widening tour of modern Dubai, we’re going on the Wander Express to see the emirate’s iconic landmarks and daring architectural wonders. From twisted towers to a futuristic museum to extravagant hotels and man-made islands. You’ll cruise the Dubai Marina on a 60 min private boat trip* which gives you unparalleled views of the breathtaking skyline. We’ll stop at fantastic viewpoints to see the Museum of the Future donut shaped building as well as the world’s 1st 3D printed office. We’ll do a spin around the Dubai Mall, which is more of an entertainment haven than just your average shopping mall. You’ll see the surreal Burj Khalifa, tallest building in the world, towering above. You might wonder, how does one create such a futuristic city from sand and beach? Well, wander with me and you’ll find out!

Sights you’re going to see from up close (C) and from a distance (D): Burj Al Arab (D), Jumeirah Beach (C), Dubai Marina (C), Cayan Tower (D), Bluewaters Island (D), Palm Jumeirah (D), Museum of the Future (C), 3D printed office (C), Dubai Opera (C), Burj Khalifa (C), Dubai Mall (C).

If the minimum no. of 3 guests is not met, the tour can still go ahead with a minimum of 2 people; however, the 60 min boat trip will be substituted with a 60 min visit to The View at the Palm with jaw-dropping views of the man-made island from the 52nd floor observation deck, as well as views of the Bluewaters Island, Marina and other sights.

Inclusions

  • Transportation: Is included from/to select Dubai hotels and will be in a shared (unless booked as a private tour), air-conditioned vehicle.

Exclusions

  • The tour does not include any meals so please ensure that you have a big meal beforehand!
  • This tour does not include admission to Burj Al Arab or Burj Khalifa or Museum of the Future. Guests who wish to visit either attraction can do so at their own leisure at a different time/day. Also, the stop at Dubai Mall is not a shopping one, but a tour of its highlights. There’s over 1,200 retail shops in there so believe me, we’ll never have enough time.
