-What you can expect- Dive into the vibrant spirit of modern Dubai, exploring the city’s freshest architecture, a sky-high trip up the Burj Khalifa – and afternoon tea fit for royalty to top it off. Sammy, one of our local expert guides, says, ‘From the top of the Burj, you’ll see Dubai as a metropolis connected to nature, thanks to the design inspired by a native desert flower. And wait till you step into the Al Bayt – it’s like stepping into an Arabian palace with its intricate designs, woodwork, and elegant arches.’Your day kicks off with a relaxed stroll from the metro straight to the doors of Dubai Mall, the launchpad into the city’s cutting-edge vibes. You’ll get the inside scoop on modern marvels, from the Dubai Opera to the Dubai Mall – and its showstopper attraction, the Burj Khalifa. Here, you’ll whizz up to the 124th floor, feasting your eyes on Dubai’s skyline – the perfect backdrop for those must-share photos. Back on ground, reunite with your guide for a tour of the Dubai Mall. It’s more than a shopper’s paradise. Think fishy-filled aquariums, an Olympic-sized skating rink, an indoor waterfall – and the newest hit, Chinatown, all under one roof. After soaking in all that indoor magic, step outside to the fountain area where traditional Abras glide by and the Burj stands tall. Then, you’ll wander through the Souk – it’s a feast of colours, scents and more traditional vibes – towards Palace Downtown's 5-star hotel, Al Bayt. The tour wraps up here with afternoon tea. Indulge in a selection of fine tea, coffee, sandwiches and scones while soaking up the hotel’s luxurious decor. And, be sure to keep your cameras ready, as views of Dubai’s modern architecture continue to impress.
