Dubai & Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Dubai and Abu Dhabi are the two most prominent emirates of the United Arab Emirates, sitting along the Arabian Gulf coast of the Middle East. Dubai is world-famous for its record-breaking skyline — including the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building on earth — alongside luxury shopping, a buzzing nightlife scene, and vast desert landscapes perfect for dune bashing and camel trekking. Abu Dhabi, the UAE's capital, offers a richer cultural depth, home to the stunning Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the Louvre Abu Dhabi, and the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix circuit on Yas Island. Together, they attract travellers drawn to a striking blend of ultramodern architecture, Arabian heritage, desert adventures, and world-class dining.

Dubai & Abu Dhabi Self-Launched 7-Day Trip

A self-launched version of JTR Holidays' 7-day Dubai honeymoon package, with the same headline experiences — city tour, yacht cruise, Abu Dhabi day trip, desert safari, marina dinner cruise and Burj Khalifa — but booked independently. You swap 5-star hotels for well-located mid-range hotels or private hostel rooms in Deira/Bur Dubai, use the metro and public buses instead of private transfers, and book individual tours via GetYourGuide/Klook. Dubai is not a cheap destination, but doing it yourself typically comes in well under half the packaged price. Costs are rough per-person estimates in GBP and assume two people sharing a twin/double room — solo travellers will pay more for rooms.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Dubai & Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
