Dubai Trio Package: City Tour, Dhow Cruise Dinner & Red Desert Safari
Combine a fast-paced Dubai city tour with an evening dhow cruise and a red-dune desert safari across two days. This package pairs iconic skyline sights with traditional seafood‑era culture and a lively desert camp experience.
The Experience
Before You Go
Time your layers
Mornings and evenings in Dubai can be cool, especially in winter desert camps—bring a light jacket for the dhow and camp.
Sun protection is non-negotiable
Sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses are essential for daytime city and desert legs—UV is strong even on overcast days.
Hydrate before and during
Carry a refillable water bottle; operators provide water at the camp but you’ll feel the difference keeping fluids on hand.
Respect local dress codes
Wear modest attire at religious or historic sites—shoulders and knees covered is a simple rule to avoid awkwardness.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood (Bastakiya) — narrow lanes and wind towers near the creek

- •Arabian oryx (seen in protected reserves)
Conservation Note
Desert habitats are delicate—stick to guided routes, avoid disturbing dune vegetation, and choose operators that minimize off-road impact and manage waste responsibly.
Dubai evolved from a fishing and pearling economy and historic dhow trade; modern landmarks like the Burj Khalifa rose in the city’s rapid 20th–21st century development.

Light insulating layer
Evenings in the desert can be chilly—bring a light fleece or windbreaker for the camp and dhow.
