The Experience
Before You Go
Go early or late
Schedule the tour for morning or late afternoon to avoid peak heat and get softer light for photos.
Bring sun protection
Carry SPF, sunglasses and a brimmed hat — shade is limited at observation points and along the Palm.
Respect local dress codes
Wear modest, lightweight clothing in public areas—shoulders and knees covered in some sites is appreciated.
Hydrate and use provided water
Bottled water is included but bring your own bottle if you prefer; keep hydrated between stops in Dubai’s dry climate.

Conservation Note
Coastal reclamation and rapid development have altered shoreline habitats; Ras Al Khor is a protected wetland and important stop for bird conservation amid urban growth.
Dubai’s modern skyline emerged rapidly after oil revenues and strategic trade investments funded large‑scale land reclamation and international construction projects from the 1990s onward.
