The compact city of Dubai with its good roads has
several tour companies offering a variety of city tours with the
itinerary varying in day and duration. Such tours cover all major
landmarks and sights within a matter of hours. But an imaginative
way of seeing Dubai is by taking the Creek tour by a traditional
wooden dhow or cabin cruiser, complete with food and
beverages on board.
Not only for the
adventurous, the desert safaris of Dubai, a must for any visitor,
are best organised as part of a group tour giving you a taste of
hinterland Arabia. The vast, sandy enigma of the desert can be
sampled in exciting half-day, full-day, or overnight safaris by
major tour operators. Highlights of a safari includes dune driving
with four-wheel drives and qualified instructors, wadi
bashing which simply means exploring the wadis or dry river
beds on four-wheel drives, sand-skiing, camel riding, visits to a
local Bedouin village, and traditional Bedouin barbecues under a
setting sun ranging from a quiet and romantic one to something
lively, packed with music and belly dancing.
