Dubai Creek & abra boat crossing alone was worth the trip, but combined with Dubai Creek & abra boat crossing this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

Everything was handled for us — flights, hotel, transfers, and tours to Museum of the Future and Burj Khalifa (At the Top observation deck). Great communication from the consultant before departure too.

Booked this as a family of 4 trip and it was well paced. La Mer beachfront district in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

Our trip to Dubai was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Ski Dubai was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.
