Is it right for you?

Seniors

Possible for seniors, with care: Expect long stretches on foot across very large malls; the aquarium and cafés give natural rest breaks

Getting around

A lot of walking; Wheelchair accessible

From our own trip notes. Tell your captain about anyone's mobility, age or food needs and we confirm the details for your dates.

The story

Your journey outline

Each stage can cover one or more days. Tell us what you would change; your final itinerary is agreed before booking.

1. Stage 01 Arrival

   Land and go straight to the gold souk in Deira, which is the right first stop because it sets your reference prices for everything that follows. Gold is sold by weight at the day's rate with the making charge negotiable, which is where the conversation happens. An abra back across the creek afterwards.

2. Stage 02 Mall Day One

   The Dubai Mall for a full day, which sounds absurd until you see it: over a thousand shops, and the Shopping Festival discounts are real rather than decorative. The aquarium inside it is the sit-down break. The fountain show outside after dark, then dinner with the Burj Khalifa lit above you.

3. Stage 03 Mall Day Two

   Mall of the Emirates in the morning for a different mix of brands, with Ski Dubai behind glass for the photograph nobody believes. The afternoon is whatever you have not finished, and the evening is dinner at the Marina, away from the shopping, so the trip has one non-retail memory.

4. Stage 04 The Return

   A last sweep of anything you talked yourself out of, then the tax refund desks at the airport, which need your receipts and your passport. Then home, several kilos heavier in the hold.
