Discover the many sides of Dubai.
Be prepared for the big city lights, grandiose structures and desert landscapes when you explore the many faces of one of the fastest growing cities in the world – Dubai. This three-day Independent Experience will give you a real taste of the intriguing old-meets-new city. Explore the tiny historical quarter of Bastakiya – set on the banks of the Dubai Creek, visit the city’s chaotic souqs, winding your way through markets teeming with gold and spices, and take an evening dhow dinner cruise sailing through Dubai under the moonlight. In such a small amount of time, you’ll get to know Dubai in a whole new light.

Why you'll love this trip
-
This Independent Experience takes all of the hard work out of a city escape. All you need to do is show up at the right times, and you’ll be discovering Dubai better than most.
-
Tour through the narrow alleyways of heritage Bastakiya, see the towering minarets of the imposing Jumeriah Mosque, and learn more about Islam with a visit inside the only Dubai mosque open to non-Muslims.
-
Experience Dubai from the water on board a traditional dhow boat for a moonlight cruise past the towering skyline. You’ll see the city from all different angles!
Is this trip right for you?
-
Our Independent Experiences are a group tour with independence, you will only have a guide with you for the sightseeing activities.
-
Part of travelling with Peregrine means respecting local cultures and sensibilities. That way you get the most out of your interactions with local people and environments. A more conservative dress code applies for some of Dubai’s sights. Entrance may be denied if these are not followed.
-
On Fridays, the museums and souqs are closed in the morning and will reopen in the afternoon. If this is the case, the half-day city tour will not take place, and instead, you will discover the city on an alternative Panoramic Modern Dubai city tour.
