6-Night Dubai Holiday Package: Burj Khalifa, Desert Safari & Marina Dhow Cruise
Urban skyscrapers meet desert dunes on this six-night Dubai package. Visit Burj Khalifa, explore Old Dubai’s souks, cruise the Marina on a traditional dhow, and test the desert’s wide horizons on a safari with BBQ.
The Experience
Before You Go
Book Burj Khalifa in advance
Reserve the 124th-floor time slot ahead of your visit to avoid sold-out times, especially at sunset.
Time the desert for late afternoon
Schedule dune bashing in the cooler late afternoon and expect cooler temperatures after sunset—bring a light layer.
Carry small cash for souks
Vendors in the Gold and Spice Souks often prefer cash and expect negotiation on making charges and small purchases.
Check Miracle Garden season
The garden is seasonal (typically Nov–Apr); confirm dates before booking to avoid disappointment.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood (wind-tower quarter) for quiet alleyways and museums

Conservation Note
Water use and landscape management are ongoing challenges; attractions like Miracle Garden rely on treated water and seasonal planting while desert operators are increasingly following dune conservation and low-impact camp practices.
Once a pearling and fishing economy, Dubai expanded rapidly in the mid-20th century with trade and oil revenues, evolving into a global business and tourism hub that still preserves pockets of traditional life.
