7 days Dubai itinerary, day by day

A week is long enough to leave the city twice: once for the mountains, once for the east coast. Every card shows exactly what that day includes.

FAQ

One week in Dubai: questions

How much does a 7 day trip to Dubai cost?

Our 7-day package is AED 1,395 per person on a sharing basis, covering airport transfers, eight experiences and two dinners. A private car and driver costs AED 990 per day for up to 10 hours. Hotel, other meals and attraction tickets are extra.

Is 1 week in Dubai too much?

Not with day trips. Hatta and Khorfakkan add mountain and coastal scenery, so a week never feels repetitive, and you still have free afternoons to relax.

Is this 7 days Dubai itinerary good for families?

Yes. It mixes active days with easier ones and includes activities children enjoy, such as camel rides, sandboarding and boat trips. For the most flexibility, choose the private option.

Is this a Dubai 6 nights 7 days package with hotel?

It covers 6 nights and 7 days of tours and transfers, but not the hotel. Stay wherever you like in Dubai, and we'll pick you up there each day.

Can I make it a slower week?

Of course. Drop Khorfakkan or Hatta for a free day, or spread the tours out. Choose "Customise it" and we'll send a quote.
