Four nights is the sweet spot for a first Dubai trip — enough to cover the icons without rushing. Here’s how we structure it.

Day 1 — Arrive & dhow cruise

Airport pick-up, hotel check-in and an evening dhow dinner cruise on Dubai Creek or the Marina.

Day 2 — City tour & desert safari

Morning city tour of the Marina, Palm Jumeirah and the Gold Souk; afternoon red-dune desert safari with BBQ dinner.

Day 3 — Burj Khalifa & Dubai Mall

At-the-Top visit to the Burj Khalifa, shopping at Dubai Mall and the evening fountain show.

Day 4 — Free day

Optional Abu Dhabi tour, theme parks or Miracle Garden — or simply shop and relax.

Explera’s Dubai City & Desert Safari package covers all of this with hotel, transfers and visa, from ₹44,999 per person.
