Ready to swap London drizzle for Dubai sunshine?
This February, join us for a 4-day escape full of adventure — hiking, desert nights, and a real taste of local culture. Here’s the plan (because Dubai isn’t just malls and skyscrapers!):
Day 1 – Arrival & First Impressions (19 Feb)
Fly from London and land in Dubai, buzzing with excitement. Quick hotel check-in, a relaxed evening stroll around the city, and a first taste of local food — shawarma, falafel, and warm Arabic bread. Early night, tomorrow the adventure begins!
Day 2 – Hiking the Hatta Mountains (20 Feb)
Wake up and head to the dramatic Hatta mountains. Easy-moderate circular hike (around 8-10km) with stunning views, picnic with local treats, and a dip in the Hatta pools for those feeling brave. Back to Dubai in the evening for a well-deserved dinner in a traditional restaurant.
Day 3 – Desert Expedition: 4x4, Camel Trek & Quad Adventure (21 Feb)
Time to switch it up: we head deep into the desert by 4x4 for a real Bedouin adventure! Experience the thrill of dune bashing, then embark on a true desert journey — at least one hour trekking across the sands on camelback. As the sun begins to set, enjoy sandboarding and relax at our desert camp. After a traditional feast and a night under the stars, the next morning we ride out of the desert on powerful quads — the most exhilarating way to finish our desert experience!
Day 4 – Culture & Last Moments in Dubai (22 Feb)
Return from the desert and dig into real Dubai — explore the old historical district, vibrant spice and gold souks, and take a ride on a traditional abra boat. Optional visit to Dubai’s most beautiful mosque, then a farewell brunch. Free time in the afternoon for shopping, beach, or soaking up the city vibe before flying back to London.
