Day by Day
A detailed day-by-day plan for this 8-day journey.
Welcome to the UAE! Met on arrival, your family is transferred to your luxury Dubai hotel. Settle in and enjoy a relaxed first evening exploring the Marina or Downtown as the city lights come alive.
Ascend the Burj Khalifa to Levels 124 and 125 for a breathtaking panorama and a rooftop meal, then set sail at sunset on a private yacht along Dubai Marina, gliding past Atlantis, the Palm and Ain Dubai.
Trade the heat for snow at Ski Dubai — skiing, tobogganing and penguins on real indoor slopes — then travel the world in an evening at Global Village, with food, shows and pavilions from more than 90 countries.
An afternoon and evening in the desert — race the dunes on a dune buggy, try sandboarding and a camel ride, and settle into camp for henna, cultural shows and a lavish BBQ dinner under the stars.
A splash-filled day at Atlantis Aquaventure and the Lost Chambers Aquarium, then The View at the Palm at sunset for a spectacular look over the iconic island and coastline.
Transfer to the capital and explore the Louvre Abu Dhabi beneath its floating dome, followed by the dazzling Qasr Al Watan Presidential Palace, before settling into your Abu Dhabi hotel.
A full day of family fun on Yas Island with entry to two theme parks of your choice — Ferrari World, Warner Bros World, SeaWorld or Yas Waterworld.
After breakfast, your private transfer takes the family to Abu Dhabi International Airport for your onward flight, heads full of unforgettable Emirati adventures.
