JA Ocean View Hotel Deluxe room 6

Although a relatively new city, Dubai enjoys a rich heritage with a history that goes as far back as the Bronze Age. Take this journey with us back in time and explore the roots of this country.

Visiting Bastakiya and its narrow lanes is an experience you will never forget. Learn about the history and cultural heritage of the UAE at the Dubai Museum, housed in Al Fahidi Fort, previously the residence of the ruler of the city. A ride on a lovely little abra will transport you to the busy market area with the famous Gold and Spice Souks. From here, you will move on to see Jumeirah Mosque, to admire the 8th-century Islamic architecture.

Upgrade your Experience: Book a magical lunch experience at Burj Al Arab, indisputably one of the most luxurious hotels in the world.

Available: Sat, Mon and Wed Duration: Full Day Dress code: Smart Casual

DUBAI EXPERIENCE

Experience an unparalleled adventure over the sun-kissed golden sand dunes in a 4x4 vehicle followed by a magical evening in a traditional Bedouin camp.

As you leave the busy city behind, you will be enthralled by the gigantic sand dunes which form the Arabian Desert. After some dune-bashing and exquisite sunset views, you will be treated to a lavish spread of authentic Arabic fare in a traditional camp, where you can indulge in activities such as sandboarding, henna painting, camel rides and local attire trial. You will be entertained by belly dancers and folk dancers as you sit back and relax with an aromatic shisha under the star-lit skies.

DESERT SAFARI & BBQ DINNER

Enjoy a full day guided tour of this culturally-rich sibling of the glitzy and glamorous city of Dubai, which is often overshadowed by its neighbouring Emirate’s flamboyance.

Undeniably one of the most beautiful mosques that exist, The Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi demands great appreciation. Your journey into the culturally-sensitive Emirate will begin from here and continue to Union Square and Heritage Village, a museum designed to connect the younger generation to their roots. After your drive along the beautiful Corniche, you will visit Emirates Palace for a photo stop, a hotel that celebrates royalty as much as warm and generous hospitality, a very significant aspect of Arabian tradition.

Upgrade your Experience: Book a luxurious lunch at Emirates Palace where you can experience the iconic service.

Available: Tue, Thu and Sat Duration: Full Day Dress code: Modest, Conservative

DISCOVER ABU DHABI

Unspoiled beaches and secluded seaside towns are what make the UAE’s East Coast an offbeat yet popular outing. Leave the bustling city behind and soak up some sun on this roadtrip.

A stark contrast to the glitzy and lively Emirates of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the East Coast is where time moves at a slower pace and people looking for relaxation and seclusion often wander. The scenic drive from the skyscraper-heavy cityscape to the rugged Hajar Mountains that dip down to long, sandy beaches is extraordinary as you see the landscape change drastically. Several archaeological sites, some dating back 4000 years, provide evidence of the coast’s long and turbulent history. A visit to Badiyah Mosque and Fujairah Fort followed by a refreshing dip in the inviting waters of the Indian Ocean is what sets the tone for a leisurely day.

Available: Fri Duration: Full Day Dress code: Casual / Comfortable

DISCOVER THE EAST COAST

One of the most underrated Emirates in this country, Sharjah provides a cultural experience like no other. Heritage and art form the soul of the city and it is not uncommon to find historical relics around every corner.

Journey through this crowded yet historically sensitive city starting from one of its most iconic structures – Al Noor Mosque, a masterpiece influenced by classical Turkish Ottoman architecture. A religious and cultural exchange of ideas ensues, after a warm welcome with Arabic coffee and dates. Continue to the oldest market in the UAE – Souq Al Arsah, where air-conditioned alleyways will open up to antique handicrafts and local specialties. Finally, a visit to the Sharjah Fort and Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilisation complete the fascinating historical voyage into the heart of this Cultural Capital of the Arab World.

Available: Mon Duration: Half Day Dress code: Comfortable Conservative

While some have been kept as originally intended, others have been modified to suit the Sheikh's preference. You will find several Mercedes, one in each colour of the rainbow for each day of the week. And they are all fitted with conveniences such as refrigerators and TV. A number of other vehicles are also rainbow coloured or have a rainbow logo painted on them and have matching seats and hubcaps. There are a number of military vehicles into which children are allowed to climb; one even has a golfing range on top. The Dodge comes in all sizes but none is as impressive as the 5-metre-high model with a complete apartment under its roof.
