The other two holidays use the same flights and drop a day or add Abu Dhabi. Times shift with the airline.

  1. Day 1Fly Colombo to Dubai. The car meets you at the airport and leaves you at the Marina hotel. Evening is free on the walk by the water.
  2. Day 2Old Dubai. Creek crossing, the textile souk, the gold souk, and a simple lunch you pay for yourself. Back to the hotel before the heat peaks.
  3. Day 3Desert after 15:00. Dune drive, a short camel ride, dinner in the camp, and the drive back. This evening is already in the Marina and family prices.
  4. Day 4Palm Jumeirah and the beach in the morning. Afternoon is yours: mall, pool, or a nap. Dinner is not included.
  5. Day 5A free day, or the Abu Dhabi day if you added it. Sheikh Zayed Mosque and the Louvre, then back to Dubai by evening.
  6. Day 6Hotel breakfast, car to the airport, flight home to Colombo.

In the price, and out of it

Every holiday in the table includes the same bones.

  • Return flight Colombo–Dubai, one checked bag
  • Hotel breakfast each morning
  • Private car, airport to hotel and back
  • Basic travel insurance for the dates of the trip
  • A guide on the old-Dubai morning, in English

You pay yourself for lunches, dinners other than the desert camp, shopping, and theme parks. Summer fares (June to September) are lower and the days are very hot. November to March is the comfortable season and the table above is that season.

Ask the Colombo desk
