Dubai tours and safaris
Dubai’s tour companies offer a variety of city tours of different duration and at different times of the day. As the city is compact and the roads are good, it is possible to take in most of the city’s major landmarks and sights. These would include the Greek, the souks and traditional markets, dhow-building yards, Sheikh Saeed’s House, the Heritage and Diving Village, Dubai Museum and the stunning golf courses. Specialized shopping tours offer an introduction to select souks and major shopping areas in Dubai and nearby Sharjah. Such tours are especially attractive to visitors with limited time to organize their own shopping expeditions.
An imaginative way of seeing Dubai is to take a tour of the Greek by traditional wooden dhow or cabin cruiser. Most of the major landmarks can be seen from the waterway. Daytime or evening cruises are available with food and beverages on board.
No visit to Dubai would be complete without a trip into the desert. Such excursions, which are the best organized as part of a group tour, offer a taste of the true heartland of Arabia. The majesty and tranquility of the desert can be experienced in a choice of exciting half-day, full-day and overnight safaris. Driving in sand is an adventure in itself, combining the excitement of a roller-coaster ride with the challenge of remaining mobile on the shifting surface. Courses in sand driving are available, with four-wheel-drive vehicles provided along with expert instruction.
Camel, a symbol of Arabia, is also a major tourist attraction. Camel rides are part of some tours and desert safaris. Tour operators and hotels can also arrange camel rides separately. A trip to the camel races, which take place on Thursday and Friday during the winter months, can be one of the most memorable highlights of any visit to Dubai.
Visitors with a head for heights and a weakness for the dramatic can enjoy the excitement of a helicopter tour over the city.
With nearly 400 species of birds observed in the Emirate, Dubai attracts many birdwatchers. Customized bird watching tours range from a day or two to a week or more, and take in full range of landscapes, from parks and golf clubs, to desert, mountain and Greek.
