Dubai full day from Abu Dhabi with optional lunch

On this full-day tour, you'll get to discover the lively metropolis of Dubai up and close. The city has developed from a small fishing village at the Dubai Creek and is today the glamorous metropolis of the Arabian Gulf. The comfortable bus will pick you up at your hotel in Abu Dhabi, and head to Dubai for a day of exploration. Once in Dubai, the tour starts with photo-stops of some of the most iconic hotels such as the 7-star Burj Al Arab and The Palm Island where the Atlantis Hotel is located. Next up is the stunning Grand Mosque of Jumeirah for another photo-stop. Then it's time for lunch at the Dubai Mall in a restaurant (only if the lunch option is selected). Otherwise, you'll be able to have lunch at any of the restaurants of your choice. You'll have two hours to spend at the Dubai Mall, the world's largest shopping mall located right next to Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest tower. At the Dubai Mall, you can not only indulge yourself in first-class shopping but also explore the mall's many attractions. Afterward, the journey back to Abu Dhabi will start and you'll pass the famous Emirates Mall. The day ends in reaching Abu Dhabi after approximately a 1,5-hour drive.
