7 days Dubai to Abu Dhabi

Begin your journey in the city where opulence and grandeur are the norm. As soon as you arrive, you'll be struck by the phenomenal architecture. From towering skyscrapers, and iconic landmarks to the gleaming high-end boutiques that line the streets. After being welcomed aboard your luxury yacht, stroll through the city and take in the sights and sounds of one of the most vibrant and exciting places on earth before a night out to remember at one of Dubai’s incredible nightclubs.

Cruise to Dubai's Moon Island and anchor for an afternoon of endless waterborne fun and an alfresco lunch with a view of the city’s impressive skyline. As the evening approaches enjoy a sunset cruise along the picturesque coastline of the Arabian Gulf. This is the perfect opportunity to take in the stunning views of the city and the surrounding waters, including the world famous Palm Jumeirah and Burj Al Arab while enjoying a glass of champagne and delicious dinner.

Embark on a cruise around Dubai's World Islands. An icon of this manmade metropolis, you would be forgiven for mistaking these sand islands shaped like the world map for a Maldivian paradise. From a luxury yacht, explore these beautiful and exclusive white sand islands in complete privacy. Return to shore and embark on a desert safari. A must when in the UAE; experience the thrill of dune bashing and sandboarding before a camel ride to a heritage falconry experience, and traditional Arabian meal under the stars.

A city of contrasts, where tradition and modernity exist in perfect harmony, spend the day exploring the city of Dubai. Visit its many modern attractions such as the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building and the Dubai Mall, the largest mall in the world full of high-end designer labels. Or, for a taste of traditional emirati culture head to Bur Dubai and explore the traditional gold, spice, and textiles souks. After a day of adventure and discovery, retire to your luxury yacht and get ready for a night to remember. Round off your time in Dubai with a bang and indulge in a world-class meal at one of the many luxurious Michelin-star restaurants Dubai has to offer. A particular favourite being Ossiano found beneath the aquarium of the famed Atlantis hotel.

Set sail from Dubai marina and see the city from a different perspective. From the rocky brown mountains to the affluent cosmopolitan skyscrapers in downtown Dubai, the coastline shows how the city has rapidly emerged from the desert. While Dubai fades into the distance and the glittering emirate you are headed for emerges on the horizon, enjoy an alfresco lunch set against the expanse of the Arabian desert. Enjoy a cocktail under the warm Middle Eastern sun and watch the Abu Dhabi skyline grow from the deck of your private superyacht. Be sure you are on deck as you pull into the iconic Yas Marina. A yachting experience unlike any other, this purpose built superyacht harbour is surrounded with glittering architectural wonders that - from a yacht - are simply breathtaking.

Experience the opulence of Abu Dhabi with a day devoted to exploring this captivating Emirate. Begin with a leisurely morning stroll along the scenic Corniche, taking in the breathtaking views of the Arabian Gulf. As the day progresses, indulge in Abu Dhabi’s incredible attractions. From the thrills of Ferrari World to the artistic and cultural delights of the Louvre Museum, and the awe-inspiring Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, whatever your preference, Abu Dhabi will deliver.

Begin your day with a delicious breakfast on board before heading to the House of Artisans in Abu Dhabi. This cultural centre showcases the preservation of traditional craft techniques, such as sea craft, Talli embroidery, Al-sadu, and Khoos. Explore the local souks and perhaps purchase a unique keepsake to remember your trip by. As you conclude your Middle Eastern sailing adventure, return to your yacht to say goodbye to your Captain and crew before departing from Abu Dhabi International Airport with memories of a lifetime.
