Next is the old city , Deira, with its traditional bazaars, the souqs. The glitter of gold and precious stones in the gold souk will dazzle us , the spices will stimulate our senses, the artworks will enchant us. In traditional boats , the famous abra , we will cross the Dubai canal , the creek , and learn about its history and the important role it played in the development of the city. We will walk through the traditional markets , the charming Hindi lane , a well hidden secret that will take us on a journey to India , and see the Al Fahidi Fort , an example of traditional architecture and an integral part of the city's history. As we change the scenery and travel through time, we head to the new city of Dubai and drive past the much photographed Dubai Frame, the Museum of the Future, the most beautiful building on the planet , and the Dubai Mall, one of the largest shopping malls in the world with over 1300 shops and with its famous fountains that dance and sing to Arabic and modern tunes. Next stop is the only , euphemistically , 7* hotel in the world, the Burj Al Arab. After being photographed against the backdrop of this magnificent sailboat-shaped hotel, we follow the road that passes in front of the traditional Madinat Jumeirah , also known as the Little Venice of Dubai, from the palaces of the royal family and continue to the Palm Island, Dubai's man-made palm-shaped island and without a doubt, the eighth wonder of the world. We will move along its trunk and stop for photos at the Pointe with its magnificent views of Atlantis and its waterfalls. We end our tour of this stunning city with a stop at Dubai Marina or the Dubai Manhattan ,to admire the canal with the very expensive boats docked there and be dazzled by the skyscrapers ,hotels and luxury that surrounds us. In the afternoon we recommend a visit to the magnificent Madinat Jumeirah hotel complex, to enjoy the beautiful view of its canals and take a photo of Burj al Arab, while having a drink in one of the numerous shops and restaurants. It's worth wandering around the eponymous souk, a small bazaar selling traditional Arabic souvenirs, and trying a hookah, or Sisha as it is known.

Breakfast and we recommend you to visit the Mall of Emirates , with the city's ski resort for continued shopping and exploration of Dubai. Early afternoon we depart for our "safari" in the desert by 4x4 jeep. After leaving Dubai behind , we will head into the desert, the place of secrets and myths. There , with our equipped 4x4 jeeps , we will drive through the sand dunes , which are constantly changing shapes and colors, a route that will get our adrenaline pumping. We will stop for photos in the middle of the desert to capture the magnificent sunset and the vastness of the topo that will be forever etched in our memory. We will then head to our camp where we will get a taste of the Bedouin way of life, enjoy Arabic food, watch traditional dances and have the opportunity to take a ride on the desert boat, the camel.
