Trends / Unique Itineraries & Tours

If you’re looking to experience all the United Arab Emirates has to offer, but don’t know much about the area, you can easily book a fully-planned and orchestrated tour that will cover everything from your flights and accommodations to dining and excursions.

 

Whatever your budget, whatever your travel style or focus, here are a few UAE tours to consider.

Luxury

For an extremely luxurious experience, book your tour through Cox and Kings. Their UAE: Arabian Nights journey starts in Dubai and includes private tours of the Jumeirah Mosque, Al Fahidi Fort, Burj Khalifa and the Sheikh Mohammaed bin Rashid Center, before moving on to the Arabian Desert, where guests can explore the area and native wildlife via safari excursions. The last days of the excursion are spent in Abu Dhabi, visiting the falcon hospital, Heritage Village, Al Husn Fort and Grand Mosque.

 

Budget

For a Middle Eastern tour on a budget, try Cosmos. Their 10-day tour features both the United Arab Emirates and Oman. Oman excursions include visits to the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, Amouage Perfume Factory, Bait al Zubair Museum and Jabreen Fort. Once in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, travelers are treated to visits to the camel market, Yas Island, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Gold Souk and more.

 

 

Voluntourism

Explore the United Arab Emirates with a voluntourism holiday created by Biosphere Expeditions. Team up with a group of other travelers as you experience the Arabian Desert from your personal dome tent, working alongside the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve staff. Study wildlife social structures and behavior, live trap animals for observation and track their movements using state-of-the-art technology as you help to prevent the extinction of these important desert species. Special expeditions are made into the region, but this tour is not for travelers looking for luxury and leisure, as its focus is educational and environmental, rather than tourism-based.

 

Action

If you’d rather book an action or sports-centric vacation, look no further than the Active Holiday Company. Their U.A.E. tour gets you to Dubai right in time to participate in the Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon where, if you can make a world record during the race, you’ll win $1 million. In addition to the race, your tour also includes a Dhow cruise dinner, city tour and desert safari, with all transportation included from your hotel right next to the Mall of Emirates.

Where to Find the Best Stargazing Spots in Ireland

This year, the Northern Lights put on quite the display across Ireland, but don’t think these lights are the only thing you can see in Ireland. In fact, many spots across the country provide some of the best opportunities to stargaze thanks to low levels of light pollution. Ireland has three International Dark Sky Parks and even more spots which, although not accredited, are worth a visit for anyone wishing to see the sky in its unfiltered form.
