With its heady mix of the traditional and the ultra modern, Dubai offers a seemingly endless list of things to see and do. But we aim to fit a lot of them into this two-day tour of this most populous city of the seven emirates.

Day one willsee you exploring the modern part of Dubai, where everything has been built this millennium. First stop will be the Souk Madinat Jumeirah where you can enjoy the traditional Arabian bazaar feel as you wander along the interconnected waterways and lose yourself in the stallsselling perfumes, jewellery, spices and pottery. It also offers the perfect vantage point to see the iconic luxury Burj Al Arab hotel in its full splendour, so cameras at the ready! Next up is the distinctive Palm Jumeirah – a striking archipelago of man made islands reclaimed from the Arabian Gulf. There’ll be time to take photos of the island’s breathtaking hotels, including Atlantis The Palm and its new sister hotel, Atlantis The Royal. Then we’ll finish the day at the Bluewaters Island, where you can see the Ain Dubai, the world’s biggest ferris wheel. Day two of the tour starts with a trip to the Jumeirah Mosque, said to be the most photographed mosque in Dubai. Take your own pictures of this architectural treasure as your guide gives you a glimpse into the daily life of practising Muslims, before we move on to the nearby Etihad Museum. Built on the site where the UAE was founded in 1971, the museum’s iconic architecture pays homage to that auspicious day. The rise and fall of the pavilion roof call to mind the curves of the unification manuscript, while its seven columns represent the pens used by the nation’s founding fathers to sign the agreement. Take some time looking around the museum’s exhibits and experiences to learn more about the history of the nation.
