8 Days in UAE, incl. Dubai and Abu Dhabi
Four Emirates cities await over 8 days, with 5 nights in Dubai at Hilton Garden Inn Al Mina, plus stays in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. Package includes 14 meals, desert safaris, and visits to UNESCO sites, guided through day 5 with free time for personal exploration.
- Day 1
Dubai Arrival
Arrive at Dubai International Airport and check into your hotel in central Dubai. Take time to rest and adjust to the time zone. "The hotels are very nice and clean, and my itinerary allowed me to see 4 Emirate States in a week."
- Day 2
Dubai City & Desert Safari
Start your morning with a Dubai city tour. Visit Palm Jumeirah's Atlantis hotel and stop for photos at the Burj Al Arab. Tour the Jumeirah Grand Mosque in its beautiful Fatimid style (modest dress required). Explore Bastakiya old town and take a traditional abra across Dubai Creek to visit the spice and gold souks. "Get to the souks early before the crowds and heat build up - bring cash for better bargaining." Your afternoon desert safari includes dune bashing and a BBQ dinner. "Watching the sunset over the dunes was magical, though the camel ride is brief - just enough for photos. The BBQ dinner and entertainment were good but fairly touristy."
- Days 3-4
Abu Dhabi & Al Ain
Take a 90-minute drive to Abu Dhabi. Visit Yas Island's F1 circuit and Ferrari World. Don't miss the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. "Go early to the mosque as it gets extremely hot on the white marble by midday." Next stop is Al Ain, the Garden City. Visit the camel market in the early morning when it's busiest. Take time to see Jahili Fort and the traditional oases. "The Al Ain Oasis visit was fascinating but bring good walking shoes - the paths are uneven."
- Day 5
Sharjah & Dubai
Spend your morning in Sharjah exploring the Heritage Museum and Souk Al Arsa. Return to Dubai for afternoon shopping at Dubai Mall and visit the Burj Khalifa. "Book Burj Khalifa tickets in advance - sunset slots sell out quickly and offer the best views of both day and night cityscapes."
- Days 6-7
Dubai Free Days
Use these days to explore on your own or take optional trips. The Musandam fjords day trip ($110) is popular with visitors: "The dhow cruise offers amazing mountain scenery and dolphin spotting chances - bring swimwear for snorkeling stops."
- Day 8
Departure
Head to Dubai airport for your flight home. "Leave at least 3 hours before flight time as airport security can be lengthy."
9 Days in UAE, incl. Dubai and Abu Dhabi
A 9-day tour of Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Fujairah showcases 10 iconic sites. The Museum of the Future, Louvre Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Zayed Mosque, and desert safari highlight the itinerary. Guests enjoy 8 nights in 4-star hotels, 4 dinners, and private airport transfers.
- Days 1-3
Dubai
Your UAE adventure starts in Dubai. The airport transfer to most hotels takes about 30 minutes. Book afternoon flights to avoid rush hour traffic. Start with a half-day city tour from 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM that covers both old and new Dubai. In the evening, take a dinner cruise through Dubai Marina. You'll get incredible views of the Dubai skyline during the two-hour trip. Spend the next two days exploring the Museum of the Future and going on an evening desert safari. Book your museum tickets at least 2 weeks in advance since they sell out quickly. For the safari, wear closed shoes and pack a light jacket since desert temperatures drop at night. A recent visitor shared: "The dune bashing was thrilling but don't sit in the back row if you get motion sickness. The front seats are much smoother."
- Days 4-5
Abu Dhabi
The trip from Dubai to Abu Dhabi takes about 90 minutes. Your first day includes visits to Qasr Al Watan and the Louvre Abu Dhabi. Start at the Louvre early to beat the crowds. On day 5, visit the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Women need to bring a headscarf and wear loose, covering clothing. The mosque opens at 9 AM, and morning light makes for better photos.
- Days 6-8
Dubai & Fujairah Day Trip
Head back to Dubai for your final three nights. Take a day trip to Fujairah beach for a break from city life. It's a 2-hour drive each way, so start early to get more beach time. The beach has limited shade, so bring plenty of sunscreen and water. Use your free day to explore on the Dubai Metro. A day pass costs about $8 and lets you visit Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa observation deck. Buy "At The Top" tickets online to save 30%.
- Day 9
Departure
Arrive at Dubai Airport 3 hours before international flights. If you're flying in the morning, allow 45-60 minutes for transfer due to traffic.

Very well organized—the Gray Line organizers communicated well over WhatsApp, letting us know what to do in the evening before the day of tours. Picked us up promptly. The hotel was very nice with good breakfast and service. I loved Loved our trip to Abu Dhabi and Safari... Dubai tours—I would say—you need to do less shopping—there are too many galleries and markets... I would say tourists want to make more stops is authentic restaurants or bakeries or spots for photo shots... But overall—they're very well-organized tours. You can see they done this job for long long time! Good job, everyone!
