Itinerary

Air Arabia flight G9286 departs at 1:25 AM for Sharjah, landing about 4 hours 20 minutes later at 6:40 AM. After passport and customs formalities and being met by the guide, the group travels 30 km to Dubai. After breakfast, the panoramic city tour covers the Jumeirah Mosque, the world's only 7-star hotel Burj Al Arab, the Emirates Towers, Dubai Creek (which splits the city in two), and the Al Seef district, known for its old houses. After free time at the Textile Souk, traditional 'abra' boats carry the group to the Gold and Spice Souks. After checking into the hotel and a short rest, the group takes an evening dinner cruise to view Dubai's skyline before returning to the hotel. Since the flight lands very early in the morning and hotel check-in is not possible before 3:00 PM, the day's sightseeing fills the time until then.

Breakfast Lunch Dinner

After breakfast, the group travels 150 km to Abu Dhabi. On Yas Island, free time is given at Yas Mall and for photos with the Ferraris outside Ferrari World, whose admission is not included. In Abu Dhabi, once a small fishing village and now an ultra-modern city, the tour covers the ornately decorated Sheikh Zayed Mosque, the world's most tilted building, the Corniche with its floating restaurants opposite, and the marina. Back in Dubai, the group watches the fountain, sound, and light show at Dubai Mall, the world's largest shopping mall with 1,400 stores, followed by free time on the food floor for dinner, which is not included in the tour price. The group stays overnight at the hotel.

Breakfast Lunch Dinner

After breakfast, guests have free time; since no shuttle bus runs during this period, they can take a taxi to the beach or a shopping mall. Around 3:00 PM, 4x4 jeeps set off on a roughly one-hour drive into Dubai's vast desert for a safari, offering photo opportunities with camels and sunset views from the dunes. After the safari, dinner is served buffet-style at a desert camp alongside stage performances reflecting Arab culture; one of these performances includes belly dancing, and guests who prefer may take a free camel ride during that segment instead. An optional 12-minute shared-seat helicopter tour (220 USD) is also available. The group returns to the hotel for the overnight stay.

Breakfast Lunch Dinner

After breakfast, the group visits Miracle Garden, a Guinness World Record holder for the world's longest flower wall, designed with 150 million flowers. The group then moves to Dubai Mall, where free time allows guests to go up to the 124th and 125th floors of the Burj Khalifa (admission not included) or explore the mall. Afterward, the group heads to Sharjah Airport for the return flight; following check-in, customs, and passport control, Air Arabia flight G9285 departs at 8:40 PM for Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen, arriving at 12:20 AM the following day.
