We head to Dubai in the vehicle waiting for us at the airport and begin our city tour. In Dubai—world-renowned for its high-tech skyscrapers, luxury shopping malls, artificial islands, and extraordinary architecture—we see the Sheikh Palace, Emirates Towers, Skyscraper Avenue, the “seven-star” Burj Al Arab, the Jumeirah district, and Palm Island. Next, we’ll take a tour of the Old Souks, where you can find phones, computers, video game consoles, textiles, gold, and spices at reasonable prices, followed by some shopping. Transfer to the hotel.
Guests who wish to do so in the evening can join the optional "Pearls of Dubai" Tour (40 USD; Burj Khalifa admission ticket not included): Souk Madinat Jumeirah, which presents a traditional Arab market in a modern setting and is also known as the "artificial Venice"; the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa (those who wish may go up to the observation deck on the 125th floor); a stop at the Dubai Mall and the Dubai Fountain sound, light, and water show in front of the mall. Overnight stay in Dubai. - Day 2

After breakfast, guests who wish to do so can join the optional “The View at The Palm” tour (70 USD). Named for its shape—which resembles a giant palm tree when viewed from the sea—Palm Island is one of the world’s largest artificial islands. From the observation deck on the 52nd floor of the Palm Tower, at a height of 240 meters, we’ll enjoy a 360-degree view of the island and take photos. Transfer back to the hotel.
Guests who wish to do so may join the optional Evening Desert Safari with Dinner (90 USD), departing at 3:00 PM: a 4x4 safari through golden sand dunes, followed by dance performances and dinner at a Bedouin camp in the desert. Overnight stay in Dubai. - Day 3

Transfer back to the hotel.
Guests who wish to enjoy the evening can participate in the optional Evening Dinner Dhow Cruise (90 USD): we explore Dubai’s iconic areas aboard a traditional boat, illuminated by lights, accompanied by dinner and entertainment. Overnight stay in Dubai. - Day 4
Dubai – Abu Dhabi – (Sheikh Zayed Mosque, Yas Island, and Ferrari World) – Istanbul
