Overview
Three nights, three signature Dubai experiences — a Marina Dhow Cruise past the illuminated skyline on arrival night, a half-day city tour covering Dubai's old and new landmarks, and a full desert safari with dune bashing, camel riding, sandboarding, and a BBQ dinner under the stars with live belly dance and Tanoura performances. Centrally based in Bur Dubai with airport transfers and daily breakfast included, this land-only package is built for travelers who want Dubai's essentials covered efficiently on a short trip, flights arranged separately.
FAQs
Yes — this is important to know clearly, since it differs from several other destinations in our catalog (Nepal, for instance, is visa-free for Indians; Dubai is not). Most Indian passport holders need a visa arranged before travel, whether a standard tourist visa or a Visa on Arrival if you separately hold a valid, current US, UK, EU Schengen, Canada, Australia, or a small list of other approved-country visas or residence permits. Standard visa processing generally takes 3-5 working days, with express processing available within 48 hours at extra cost. Given recent tightening of eligibility rules for the Visa on Arrival route, we strongly recommend confirming your specific eligibility and required documents with us well before booking flights, rather than assuming Visa on Arrival applies to your situation.
A passport valid for at least 6 months from your travel date with a minimum of 2 blank pages, a recent colour photograph with a white background, confirmed return flight tickets, and confirmed hotel bookings — UAE authorities have tightened this requirement in recent years, so a confirmed accommodation booking (even if you're staying with friends or family) is now generally mandatory as part of the application, not optional.
No — this is explicitly a land-only package, covering your hotel, transfers, and the three included tours, but flight tickets to and from Dubai need to be booked separately.
Dune bashing in a 4x4, camel riding, sandboarding, and henna painting during the activity portion, followed by a BBQ dinner at a desert camp with live entertainment including belly dance and a Tanoura show — a strong, well-rounded introduction to Dubai's desert side in a single evening.
Yes — it's scheduled for the evening of Day 1, so plan for a reasonably active first evening rather than an entirely restful one. If your flight lands very late or you'd prefer a more relaxed arrival day, let us know in advance so we can discuss shifting the cruise to a different evening where possible.
Yes — Citymax Bur Dubai sits in central Bur Dubai, within walking distance of the Al Karama Metro station and close to the Dubai Museum and Textile Souq, with Dubai Mall and Jumeirah Beach a short drive away — a genuinely convenient base for a short, activity-packed trip.
Please note this is a firm one: for non-refundable ticket/booking components, 100% cancellation charges apply immediately upon issuance, and any cancellation made less than 30 days before departure incurs full (100%) charges regardless of ticket type. This package is not one to book provisionally — please confirm your dates are firm before paying.
Your visa (arranged separately, see above), international flights, TCS (Tax Collected at Source, applicable per current government norms since this is an international package), travel insurance, and personal expenses like tips and alcoholic beverages all sit outside the package cost — worth budgeting for these before you compare quotes.
