Day 1 :

Dubai's Glittering Welcome

Morning: We touched down at Dubai Airport, greeted by the warm desert breeze. Within a few minutes, our friendly driver found us and greeted us with a warm smile. He helped with the luggage and drove us straight to our hotel, ensuring a seamless start to our adventure. 

Afternoon: We checked-in to the luxurious Gateway Hotel. After a long flight, we couldn't resist sinking into the plush beds to recharge. We specifically booked it for its stunning rooms and unbeatable prices. Plus, it’s just 20 minutes away from the airport. It’s also easy to reach Khalid Bin Al Waleed Metro station from the hotel.  

Evening: At 5, we left the hotel and headed to Dubai Creek for its famous Dhow Cruise. We spend the evening admiring the city's glittering skyline, paired with a delicious dinner, which made for a perfect welcome to Dubai. 

Day 2 :

Skies and Surprises in Dubai

Morning: The next day, we couldn’t stay late in bed. So, we rose early to visit the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building. Riding the elevator to the observation deck, we were treated to breathtaking panoramic views of Dubai. After that, we had to visit the nearby Dubai Mall, a shopper's paradise. We lost ourselves in its vast selection of shops, restaurants, and entertainment. 

Afternoon: We had heard a lot about The Dubai Fountain Show. So, we waited a bit for that and once it started, we were left speechless. Choreographed with water and light, the fountain danced to life in front of the Burj Khalifa. 

Evening: One of my friends is a fan of sharks. So, The Dubai Aquarium had to be in our itinerary. We reached there at 9 after having dinner at Dubai Mall. What we saw was mindblowing -- over 400 Sharks and Rays, including Sand Tiger Sharks, Giant Groupers, and lots of other marine species. We also tried snorkelling and shark diving which is definitely the most adventurous thing of the day. 

Day 3 :

Abu Dhabi's Adrenaline Rush

Morning: With a new day and more excitement, we started our journey to Abu Dhabi., Here, we had booked the Grand Millennium Al Wahda Hotel located right in the centre. It’s a 5-star property and we were excited to splash into the pool, which we did as soon as we checked-in.  

Afternoon: After enough fun and relaxation, we were ready for thrill. And what’s better than Ferrari World for that!  Ferrari World was an adrenaline-packed paradise for us on the trip. The roar of Ferrari engines, heart-pounding roller coasters, and high-speed races made us feel like kids again. We couldn't get enough of the exhilarating thrills that left us screaming for more.  

Evening: The whole day was exciting, and we were so tired that we just came back to the hotel and had a delicious dinner at the restaurant.  

Day 4 :

Nostalgia at Warner Bros. World

Morning: The next day was something we just couldn't imagine. Warner Bros. World was a trip down memory lane for us. Immersing ourselves in the world of our beloved childhood heroes, riding thrilling roller coasters, and sharing laughs made it an unforgettable experience. It was like stepping into our favourite cartoons and creating new memories while reliving the old ones! If you are going to the UAE with family, don’t miss this one.  

Day 5 :

Cultural Exploration and Goodbye 

Morning: Since it was our last day, we didn’t want to skip the majestic Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, an architectural marvel that reflects the UAE's rich cultural heritage. We spend time strolling around the Mosque and admiring it.  

Afternoon: As your journey comes to an end, our guide will ensure a comfortable transfer to the Dubai airport for your departure. As our amazing trip neared its end, our guide, who knew a lot about the area, made sure we got to Dubai Airport without any hassles. We said goodbye with sadness in our hearts, but we left with precious memories of our time in the UAE.
