8-Day Dubai and Cairo Tour

Day 1: Arrive in Dubai for Dubai and Cairo Tour

Upon landing at Dubai International Airport for your Dubai and Cairo adventure, you’ll be treated to an exceptional level of service from the very start. A welcoming tour representative will greet you, assist you, and guide you to the vehicle waiting to transfer you to your hotel.

Here, you’ll spend the first night of your journey. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy as you wish—unwind by the pool, take a restful nap, or set out to discover the stunning wonders of the City of Gold, one of the world’s most dazzling destinations.

Day 2: Sightseeing Tour – Traditional Dubai

Your second day begins with a delightful breakfast at the hotel. At the pre-arranged time, a guide will meet you at your hotel and take you on a journey through the traditional heart of Dubai.

The first stop of the day is Bastakiya, where you’ll enjoy a panoramic visit to Al-Fahidi Fort. This historic 225-year-old fortress, now home to the Dubai Museum, offers fascinating insights into the city’s past.

After exploring the fort and museum, you’ll board a traditional Abra boat for a scenic ride across Dubai Creek. Upon reaching the other side, your guide will lead you to the famous Gold and Spice Souks. These bustling markets are treasure troves where you can find everything from shimmering jewelry to aromatic spices.

Take time to shop or simply soak up the vibrant atmosphere before heading to the stunning Jumeirah Mosque. While the visit is a brief photo stop, the mosque’s beauty is sure to captivate you. Photos can be taken from the outside only.

Once your tour concludes, you’ll return to your hotel where you can relax before the evening’s exciting activity—a memorable dinner cruise at Dubai Marina. As you glide along the water, the city’s dazzling nighttime skyline promises to leave a lasting impression. After the cruise, you’ll be transported back to your hotel to unwind and rest.

After an exhilarating drive across the rolling dunes, your driver will pause at the region’s highest dune, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the endless Arabian sands.
