After a heavy buffet breakfast, proceed for a panoramic city tour of Dubai. Discover the charm of the old & new Dubai. Start off from Bur Dubai – the city’s traditional heart to Deira Dubai – a bustling commercial area containing a range of retail gold and spice shops. Proceeding ahead, you’ll be taken to the magnificent Jumeirah mosque; to the sun–burned Jumeirah Beach, and later get an outside glimpse of the most luxurious hotel in the world – Burj-Al-Arab. You’ll then enter a man–made wonder –The Palm Jumeirah Island in a Monorail Ride and stop at the marvellous Hotel Atlantis, The Palm. Later, take an outside glimpse of Dubai Mall and then pass by HH Sheikh Mohammed’s palace & at the end of the tour take a break by the Dubai creek to view the share of distinctive skyscrapers lining the same. Back to hotel for lunch at an Indian Restaurant.

Later in the evening, at around 1945 hrs, you’ll be picked up from your hotel to awaken your senses as you will cruise gently along Corniche – on board our exquisitely decorated traditional Dhow Cruise. Feel the flip flap of waves and the all-pervading romantic atmosphere of a traditional wooden Arabic boat. Lively Arabian style adds flavour to the buffet of veg dishes. Revel in the traditional charm of Arabian dhow cruises in modern comfort. Back to the hotel for overnight stay. (L. D.)
