Welcome to Dubai! Today, your exhilarating adventure begins as you touch down in Dubai early in the morning. After a private transfer to the Al Bateen Executive airport in Abu Dhabi, you will board a 40-minute flight for Sir Bani Yas Island, an incredible desert island with no shortage of wildlife and thrill-seeking activities. Settle into your two-bedroom pool villa at Al Sahel Villas and enjoy your first evening.
Enjoy a full day of leisure on Sir bani Yas Island: hit the dunes on a 4x4, explore the sea by snorkeling or trying your hand at scuba diving, or simply relax by the hotel’s pool or in the on-site spa. Today, the island is your oyster!
Today, you will transfer to Al Yamm Villas on the island, where you can open your villa doors onto the incredible sandy beach. Head back into the water for more recreation, or simply soak up the sun on the beach.
Another day in paradise as the only decisions you need to make today are whether to tan on the beach or by the pool, overlooking the beach. Sample the incredible cuisine and relax at the hotel, or head inland on a nature and wildlife drive, catching glimpses of incredible animals such as gazelles and the rare Arabian Oryx.
Back to the mainland today, as you board a morning flight to Abu Dhabi and enjoy a two-hour private transfer to your luxury hotel, the Qasr Al Sarab: located in the Liwa Desert, this resort features incredible dining, sweeping views of the desert, and an outdoor pool for basking in - and cooling off from - the Arabian sun.
Spend the day soaking in the experience at the Qasr Al Sarab. Take a walk through the desert, enjoy gourmet dishes at the on-site restaurants, relax poolside in a sun lounger, or indulge in a spa treatment: it’s all there, in the middle of the desert!
Your desert stay is not over yet: today, climb on a camel or a 4x4 for an incredible tour of the Liwa Desert - and be sure not to leave your camera behind! Enjoy another evening in this tranquil, luxurious resort.
Today, you’ll drive five hours to Zighy Bay, Oman, located on the northern Musandam Peninsula of Oman. After you check into your pool villa at the Six Senses Zighy Bay, explore the resort and the beach before enjoying traditional cuisine at the Spice Market or one of the other on-site restaurants.
Bright lights, big city: today you’ll leave your tranquil bayside retreat and head two hours to Dubai, where you’ll check into the luxurious One & Only The Palm. Located on the Palm Islands just off the coast of the city, this resort features incredible lagoon pools and stunning views over the Persian Gulf.
