You’ll get 3 different sides of Dubai in one trip, such as time on the beach, a desert safari, and a guided city tour. While the city tour covers the popular landmarks like the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, the Creek, and the Marina, you'll get your accommodation at or near a beachfront property with access to the Arabian Gulf. Further, you’ll get the desert safari with dune bashing, a camel ride, and a traditional camp dinner.
Dubai has some beautiful beaches near your accommodation. The Jumeirah Beach is the most well-known for its wide, well-maintained, and with the Burj Al Arab as a backdrop. JBR Beach at Jumeirah Beach Residence is livelier with restaurants and shops. The Kite Beach is popular for a more laid-back crowd. Most of the beach holiday packages place you within easy reach.
Yes. It works better than you’d expect. Dubai is compact enough that the desert is only about 45 minutes from the beach, and the city is easy to roam around with arranged transfers. A typical itinerary might give you the first day or two to settle in and enjoy the beach, a mid-trip day for the city tour, afternoon and evening for safari, leaving you with the beach time.
The safari doesn’t take the full day away from the beach because it’ll be an afternoon and evening. You’ll head out into the dunes for dune bashing in a 4*4, followed by camel riding, sandboarding, and a Bedouin camp dinner with live entertainment.
The ideal window is October through March. The sea is warm, the weather is so pleasant, and the desert evenings are comfortable rather than sweltering. But summer in Dubai is extremely hot. If you’re flexible, November to February gives you the best of everything.
