Overview
A short-haul break that fits a long weekend. Two days of city and one of desert, with the Burj Khalifa timed for sunset and a dune camp that stays overnight rather than turning back at dark.
November to March is the comfortable window; June to August is hot and correspondingly cheaper. The quote carries 5% GST and tax collected at source, and TCS on foreign tour packages explains why the second of those is not really a cost. The case for Dubai as a three-night break rather than a week is on the Dubai weekend tour packages page.
Highlights
- Burj Khalifa level 124 at sunset
