Day 1 ends with a dhow cruise dinner on Dubai Creek. Day 2 is the city tour with Burj Khalifa At the Top and Dubai Mall. Day 3 is the Abu Dhabi city tour, with the Grand Mosque, the Corniche and Emirates Palace and Qasr Al Watan photo stops, and a visit to the BAPS Mandir on the way.

Why this package works

  • Two emirates, one hotel: Abu Dhabi as a day trip, so there is no packing and unpacking.
  • Spiritual highlights: the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and the BAPS Hindu Mandir on the same day.
  • Old and new Dubai: a traditional Creek dhow cruise and the futuristic Museum of the Future.
  • Free time built in: a free morning and a free afternoon for shopping or the beach.

Good to know before you book

The Grand Mosque requires long, loose clothing for everyone and a headscarf for women, and is closed to visitors on Friday mornings. The BAPS Mandir has its own visiting days and dress code, and the Abu Dhabi tour is scheduled accordingly. Museum of the Future tickets are for a fixed time slot. Tours run on a shared basis; private tours can be arranged.
