A mysterious storybook city that rose from the desert, Dubai combines ancient traditions with an ultramodern character. You will see the city's historic side and learn about Emirati culture before entering the Middle East's largest business and financial centre, home to the world's tallest building, one of its largest shopping malls and spectacular dancing fountains.
“Arabian Dream” is a private Dubai sightseeing tour for a couple, family or group of friends. Only your party travels in the vehicle, so the pace and stops can be adapted to the guests' ages, interests and evening plans.
In four hours, you will see Dubai as one connected story, from local traditions and older districts to skyscrapers, man-made islands and record-breaking landmarks. Along the way, I explain the city's history, customs, Emirati life and remarkable growth from the desert.
