Stay program

• day 1

  Dubai: the city of merchants and pearl fishermen

  Visit to the souks district on the edge of the Creek, a pearl port from the 19th century that saw Dubai and its ambitions grow. From a Bedouin tribe to a cosmopolitan city that never sleeps, it all began barely 2 centuries ago, and this first morning will allow us to uncover its mysteries in the winding alleys that will lead us from Bastakia to Deira.

• day 2

  Dubai between land and sea

  From the Burj Al Arab to the Burj Khalifa, the city of Dubai is constantly inventing and reinventing itself through its never-ending architectural challenges. And yet, a common thread connects these skyscrapers that today form one of the most beautiful skylines in the world. From Downtown to the Marina, by boat or 450 m up in the air, discover this unparalleled city and its master plan.

• day 3

  Abu Dhabi, cultural and religious capital of the Middle East.

  The capital of the United Arab Emirates now has many assets to attract travelers beyond Dubai. With one of the most beautiful mosques located at the entrance to the island: the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque (a great Arab man little known in the West and the first president of this young country), Abu Dhabi is a must-see. Few mosques open their doors as much to allow for a dialogue between arts, architecture, cultures, and civilizations. This dialogue can also be experienced during a visit to Jean Nouvel's Louvre, where 12 galleries invite you to discover or rediscover our humanity through a rich journey of works from the civilizations that preceded us and of which we are the heirs, in a setting designed by one of the greatest French architects, inspired by a territory in the making.

• day 4

  Dubai at your own pace.

  Free time to enjoy Dubai at your own pace, go to the beach, return to the souks, discover other neighborhoods of Dubai, as the city is full of treasures, places to live and meet people... or simply enjoy your hotel...
