About this trip
Seven days across the UAE, staying in 4-star hotels on a full board plan, with a guide taking care of the logistics between Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.
Expect a mix of city sightseeing, a desert safari with a BBQ dinner, and time in the older markets and mosques that sit alongside the skyscrapers and malls.
This is a guided, group-paced trip with private rooms available, suited to travellers who'd rather have the route planned out than piece it together themselves.
What you'll do
- See Dubai's skyline and shopping malls
- Cross Dubai Creek on a traditional Abra boat
- Desert safari with a BBQ dinner
- Visit Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi
- Explore the markets of Sharjah
- Full board plan, so most meals are included
- Fully guided throughout, with hotel stays rather than camping
- Covers three emirates in a week, so days are itinerary-driven rather than free time
Worth it if you want a well-organised, comfortable UAE tour with strong guides and excellent hotels. Think twice if you're a solo woman or need accessible group dynamics on day one.
- Guide Rahim and Diya delivered genuine expertise and attentiveness; Richard Ramos (pre-tour) went beyond standard support with visa and logistical help.
- Two women reported inappropriate approaches from men at the Oasis and camel site while supposedly under staff supervision; group was not properly briefed on solo safety.
- Day-one registration was chaotic with illegible name list; no proper group introduction before boarding, making it harder to know fellow travellers.
- Oman segment reported as very hot with restrictive border procedures; one guide on the Oman boat tour was dismissive and commanding in tone.
