Important notes & travel tips
Important notes
Desert component seasonal (October–April recommended); in summer replaced by a beach-resort night at Palm Jumeirah. Ramadan itineraries retimed with respect to fasting hours.
Travel tips
Seven nights allows a genuine pace — plan one afternoon completely unscheduled. Dubai's best rooftop for sunset is a matter of preference; ask us to book based on the night of the week.
