Itinerary

Arrival in Dubai, United Arab Emirates Welcome to Dubai! After you pass through customs & baggage claim, a private transfer awaits you and your traveling companions to take you to the hotel.

Drinks are expensive in Dubai which is why we have included 10+ hours of open bar, but if you want to have a bottle of your favorite in your room, take advantage of the duty-free shopping while you are at the airport.  Liquor is more expensive in the city & there is an additional tax.  You can buy up to 4 liters per person. 

If you have an early flight and arrive at the hotel in the morning, you can leave your bags with the hotel front desk and enjoy the 18 shops, 19 restaurants, pool, or spa until your room is ready.  Rooms are usually ready around 3 p.m. When you book a room with Executive lounge access you can wait there until your room is ready enjoying free drinks, snacks and Wi-Fi. 

Those that don't need a power nap are invited to meet us at the sports bar for a casual hang-out during their happy hour.

Our caravan leaves the hotel around 3 p.m to head for the desert. Late this afternoon we’ll drive across the mystic sands of the Dubai Desert for dune bashing. The thrill begins as our guide drives us up and down the golden sands of Arabia before stopping on the highest sand dune, for a breathtaking view. Then we drive on to a private Bedouin campsite to enjoy our evening. For the next several hours this part of the desert is ours.  Try a camel ride or get a henna tattoo before we dine on our barbecue dinner with complimentary beer, wine & soda. As the stars come out enchanting belly dancers perform a fascinating routine to Arabian music. Dance the night away under the stars while enjoying music by the G&S DJ's.
