The Considered Stopover

Dubai and Abu Dhabi in four nights

Tim Reckmann from Hamm, Deutschland · CC BY 2.0 · Wikimedia Commons

Designed as a break in a longer journey rather than a destination in itself — the old creek, one desert night, Louvre Abu Dhabi, and the transfers timed so nothing is a scramble.

Suits

  • Breaking a long-haul routing
  • Winter sun
  • Families with mixed interests

Day by day

Day 01

Arrive Dubai

Fast-track through immigration, transfer in, and an evening at the marina or in old Deira depending on your mood.

Day 02

Old Dubai

Al Fahidi before the heat, the abra across the creek, the gold and spice souks, and Burj Khalifa booked for the last slot before sunset.

Day 03

Abu Dhabi

The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in the morning, Louvre Abu Dhabi late afternoon under the dome.

Day 04

Desert night

Out to a licensed reserve in the afternoon, dinner under the sky, back late or overnight in camp.

Day 05

Depart

Late checkout, transfer timed against your actual flight rather than the standard.
