The experience

The Caravanserai camp sits outside the city and runs the first night as a self-contained experience. You get dune bashing across the desert, a camel ride, a traditional Emirati welcome, and a cultural show that includes belly dancing, tanoura spinning, and a fire performance: all paired with an Arabic buffet. This is the anchor of the package: everything else builds around it.

Day two splits into two parts. The Big Bus 24-hour hop-on, hop-off tour lets you move through Dubai's top sights (the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Marina, and others) at your own pace, boarding and leaving whenever you choose. In the evening, a one-hour traditional dhow sails Dubai Creek with unlimited freshly baked pizza and soft drinks included. If you pick the Platinum option at checkout, this becomes a Marina Dhow Dinner Cruise instead: a five-star international buffet with Arabian dishes served aboard a luxury dhow, replacing the standard creek cruise.

The tour runs with audio guide in English, Spanish, Italian, French and two additional languages. Hotel pickup is included. Wheelchair access is available, and the itinerary suits all fitness levels.
