Night on board, arrival the next day.
Private transfer and a two-night stay at your first Emirati refuge. Overlooking the Museum of the Future, near to Dubai International Financial Centre, the hotel draws inspiration from Bedouin traditions - desert nomads who once roamed these arid lands. The comfort is nonetheless ultra-modern, inviting you to enjoy the pleasures of a more settled lifestyle. The rooms evoke the hues of the desert with a colour palette ranging from white to brown. The wooden furniture and decor elements, with their playful design and Eastern influences, create a captivating and harmonious contrast. The hotel has a rooftop pool with views of Dubai’s skyscrapers. The restaurant and the many on-site bars offer a culinary journey around the world, from India to Bavaria.
On your intinerary - Like a local in Dubai. Immerse yourself in the soul of Dubai in the company of a true Dubaiite. He knows the city like the back of his hand and reveals his favourite spots and secret places to you. Set off to explore Bur Dubai, stroll through the Deira district along the Creek, and soak up the vibrant atmosphere of the souks. This walk is the perfect opportunity to share an authentic moment, talk about daily life in Dubai, and pick up plenty of advice to sweeten your stay. Forget about fixed plans: this relaxed encounter doesn’t have a set itinerary. The walk unfolds according to each person’s tastes and wishes.
Optional - Tickets to the Museum of the Future.
Pick up your rental car and head for the Abu Dhabi desert. After nearly four hours on the road, the majestic dunes of the Rub’ Al Khali, the “Empty Quarter” - the largest uninterrupted expanse of sand in the world - come into view. Here, in an oasis nestled in the heart of this sea of sand, lies the purest and oldest essence of Emirati culture. Only a few intrepid adventurers have dared to venture there, discovering the magnificence and power of the Bateen Liwa dunes. Your private villa, perched atop these sandy slopes, awaits your arrival. Combining chic style and eco-sustainability, it features a swimming pool, sun loungers, a patio and a fire pit facing the dunes. The establishment makes it a point to act responsibly. To achieve this, it follows a zero-waste, zero-carbon and plastic-free policy wherever possible. This includes using environmentally friendly means of transport, sourcing local and ethical food, managing water sustainably, preserving local heritage, and supporting local communities.
Drive to Abu Dhabi, the federal capital of the Emirates - a city as vertical and forward-looking as Dubai. Although its fortune was forged from oil, the Emirati city now invests in a green and sustainable future. You will be staying for two nights on Saadiyat Island, a true natural paradise with its idyllic white-sand beaches. Your accommodation charms with its comfort and focus on well-being by the water, with elegant villas facing the sea and stunning pools. The youngest guests are welcomed at the “camp”, which offers them fun activities. The beach is carefully maintained and supervised.
On your itinerary - Secret Abu Dhabi. Often nicknamed the “Manhattan of the Middle East”, Abu Dhabi hides a more discreet and authentic city in the shadow of its skyscrapers and modern districts. After a visit to Madinat Zayed Shopping Centre, one of the city’s first malls, we stop at Bait al Oud. This institute celebrates the oud, an iconic instrument whose unique sound evokes traditional Arabic music. Next, we step through the doors of the Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi, the Emirati branch of the prestigious Paris university. This is your chance to visit its grand library and admire its dome - an architectural nod to its Parisian counterpart. To end off, we stroll through the date market, the fish market and the recently renovated Souq Al Mina. You’re accompanied by a private guide for the full duration.
Already included - Your tickets for the Louvre Abu Dhabi. This museum, with a universal mission, is the work of architect Jean Nouvel. Its immense dome evokes the lace of a parasol, letting sunlight filter through in magical, artistic and ever-changing beams. The arrangement of cubic blocks opens onto the gulf’s waters, lapping at the foot of a few steps. The museum collection housed in this Arab agora is as vast as it is diverse: ancient and contemporary works, paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, Van Gogh, Magritte, Bellini and Mondrian; Egyptian sculptures and sarcophagi; Greek antiquities; Chinese art.
Drive to Dubai airport, return the rental car and take your international flight home.
