BURJ KHALIFA, GRAND MOSQUE, DESERT SAFARI, BEDOUIN CAMP

If you appreciate big, bold, and unabashedly spectacular, consider this escorted Abu Dhabi and Dubai tour package from the U.S. Just 50 years ago, Abu Dhabi could be best described as a fishing village. Thanks to enormous wealth due to its oil reserves, the UAE’s largest emirate has transformed into an impressive destination you have to see to believe. Dramatic Dubai is developing rapidly too. Embodying progress—and excess—it’s become a truly global, open society where visitors immerse themselves in exciting possibilities. Experience all of the must-sees, as your smarTours® guide provides context, dining ideas, and personalized tips on maximizing your free time. 4/5 stars on Tripadvisor!

Reviews

Sylvia A

This tour was awesome! The tour guide Mohammed and the bus driver Faizel made the tour so rememberable! Mohammed was extremely professional yer personable. Mohammed imparted so much cultural content that added so much value to the trip!

Donna A

The trip was fantastic. The only thing that I didn't like was the Hyatt gave us two beds instead of one. The hotel staff did not want to correct the name on my room until the Group leader Mohammad got involved. I was not associated with the person they had assigned to my room. It was just me and my husband. Thanks to Mohammad the rest of the trip was fantastic as well.

Wesley

Would definitely travel with them again

Theresa A

The most amazingly wonderful experience I’ve ever had! Everything went well and the sites were great! I would like to come back again! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cathy B

Great tour for a great price. The UAE is a must-see destination. Accommodations were excellent with kind, courteous and helpful staff. Great value for the price. Free time to go exploring on your own. Our guide was great - knowledgeable, kind, and patient.

Irina L

Great quality tour.

Leah J

One of the best vacations ever!

Peggy B

Fabulous, Fantastic, Incredible and Amazing are a few words to describe the feeling I had during my dream trip to Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The hotels, transportation, sites, food and staff especially Mohammed were outstanding. My friends and I had a fantastic time and the consideration paid to details such as timing, breaks, free time and the cultural immersion had us talking about booking our next adventure with SmarTours. The value, quality and spectacular experience my the trip priceless.

Tamara

I first have to mention the flight on Emirates Airlines. The flight was smooth with delicious meals and friendly attendants. My tour guide, Mohammed Saleem was simply the best. If I can take him to my ither planned trips I would. Our hotel stays, local tours and the experience was memorable. My family and I will utilize Smart Tours again.

DeShelle H

Everything was wonderful. This was my first guided tour vacation and I enjoyed it!! It was nice to be back in the sun and our tour guide Mohammed was the BEST. I can't wait to visit Abu Dahbi and Dubai again. Thanks for the awesome experience!!!

Jamella P
