Description

Start your day with a hotel pickup and travel along Sheikh Zayed Road toward Abu Dhabi in a shared vehicle.

(Note: Entry is not guaranteed during Islamic holidays and a strict dress code applies.) Next, enjoy a panoramic drive past Emirates Palace Hotel and Etihad Towers, two of the most iconic buildings near Corniche Beach, offering spectacular views.

Before returning to Dubai, visit the lively Date Market, where you can sample and shop for delicious varieties of local dates and sweets at economy-friendly local prices.
