Good morning sea view.
After enjoying the magnificent view of the Persian Gulf from your room early in the morning and a delicious breakfast at the hotel, you will meet your private tour guide in the hotel lobby for a sightseeing tour. Your first exploration takes you out of Dubai to the neighbouring emirate of Sharjah. 6,000 years of history lie ahead of you here and, as if that alone wasn't impressive enough, you will visit numerous historical spots. Lose yourself in amazement at the Islamic building tradition with mosaics and ornamental arched windows, as can be seen at the two-storey Blue Souk with its domed roofs and attached wind towers.
Discover the historic old town with all its alleyways and palaces and count how many of Sharjah's 400 or so mosques you can spot on your tour. Photography enthusiasts will find their perfect motif in the mix of Belle Époque railway station and Islamic palace - probably the most photographed motif on the Arabian Peninsula. The next favourite motifs are the 200-year-old Sharjah Fortress and the Al-Noor Mosque, which was built in the style of the Blue Mosque in Istanbul. Due to strict regulations, it can only be visited from the outside.
After a lunch break in Dubai, you will continue your city tour. Dubai is on the programme for the afternoon. This city is developing rapidly, it never seems to sleep. Discover numerous new construction projects, huge cranes that characterise the cityscape at dizzying heights and feel the hustle and bustle of the constantly evolving metropolis. You can take a break from the hustle and bustle in the new Etihad Museum, which has been little frequented to date. You will get a spectacular view over the artificial island from "The Palm", at the end of which you will see the huge Atlantis Hotel with its gigantic aquarium.
The evening ends with dinner at a restaurant of your choice on Jumeirah Beach and a leisurely stroll back to the hotel.
