At 9:00 PM, your guide will meet you on the 2nd floor of Tan Son Nhat International Departure Terminal to assist with check-in for your flight to Dubai. You’ll be flying on EK393 SGN – DXB, departing at 11:55 PM and arriving at 4:25 AM.

You’ll spend the night on board the flight.

At 4:25 AM, upon arrival at Dubai International Airport, your vehicle and local guide will meet you and transfer you for breakfast. Afterward, you’ll begin your Dubai tour, exploring this ultramodern city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE):

• Discover the Al Bastakiya Quarter, Dubai’s “One Thousand and One Nights” old town. This area was once a bustling hub for textile and pearl merchants and is now a distinctive cultural and historical attraction that captivates every visitor to Dubai. Notably, the traditional houses with their wind towers offer a unique glimpse into Dubai’s innovative solutions for its harsh natural conditions.

• Dubai Marina is a captivating attraction in Dubai, the “golden land.” It stands as one of the world’s largest and most luxurious yacht harbors, with the entire project costing a record 10 billion USD. This immense investment has given rise to a stunning array of towers, apartments, shopping areas, restaurants, and countless vibrant bars.

• Experience an authentic Abra water taxi ride, a traditional waterway transportation used by Dubai locals, as it takes you on a scenic tour of the Dubai Creek saltwater inlet. Next, explore the Spice Souk, where you’ll find an array of colorful herbs and spices like frankincense, yellow curry, cinnamon, saffron, and dates. Afterward, visit the Gold Souk, one of the world’s largest centers for trading gold, diamonds, and precious stones. Here, you’ll have the chance to admire exquisite jewelry masterpieces reminiscent of those found in “One Thousand and One Nights” tales.

Afternoon: The group will enjoy lunch featuring Vietnamese cuisine, then head to the hotel to check in and relax.

At 4:30 PM, as the afternoon cools, your guide will take the group to visit:

• The Dubai Mall, considered one of the largest shopping malls in the world, is sure to satisfy the shopping desires of even the most discerning traveler. Beyond being a shopping hub, Dubai Mall is also designed as an attractive entertainment destination for visitors, including men and children.

• Experience the Water Fountain Show, the world’s largest choreographed fountain system. Powerful jets of water shoot more than 150 meters into the sky, synchronized with music and illuminated by lasers and thousands of lights. This spectacular fountain was designed by the creators of another world-renowned fountain located at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

In the evening, the group will have dinner with a Chinese-style menu, then check into the hotel and rest.

Morning: After breakfast at the hotel, the group will depart for Abu Dhabi to visit:

• The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque—the pride of the United Arab Emirates. This is the world’s most opulent mosque, adorned with lavish materials such as white marble, Swarovski colored crystals, and Persian carpets. The mosque boasts 82 domes and 1,048 columns on the exterior, shaped like date palms—a distinctive tree of the Middle East. Furthermore, the mosque has an astonishing capacity, accommodating over 40,000 worshippers at once.

• Heritage Village: Located in the heart of Dallas, Heritage Village is a reconstructed village that re-creates the life of Abu Dhabi’s residents before the 1950s and 1960s, prior to the discovery of oil in the desert region. This village also features an old traditional market, an ancient mosque, and a Bedouin camp with tents and camels resting outside.

Afternoon: The group will enjoy a buffet lunch at a 5-star hotel, take a midday break, and then continue sightseeing:

• Dates Market: This famous agricultural market specializing in dates is located at Mina Zayed in Abu Dhabi. Dates are naturally sweet, highly nutritious, and a symbol of the Arabian region, including the emirate of Abu Dhabi. Despite their wealth, the people of Arabia deeply value this humble tree because date palms have not only been a primary food source but have also been closely intertwined with the lives of people in this sunny and windy land since ancient times.
• Ferrari World Abu Dhabi: This is the world’s largest and most modern indoor theme park, featuring a distinctive red roof and a design resembling the curves of the legendary Ferrari GT supercar, along with the Prancing Horse logo (photo stop outside).
• Emirates Palace Hotel: Known as “a 7-star paradise on Earth,” it’s the most expensive hotel on the planet, with 40 tons of gold used for its decorations (photo stop outside).

Evening: The group will return to Dubai, have dinner, and check into the hotel for the night.

Morning: After breakfast at the hotel, the group will depart for:

• Miracle Garden, a magnificent architectural marvel that rightfully stands as one of Dubai’s world-class beauties, alongside astonishing feats like the reclamation of land for Palm Jumeirah, the 7-star Burj Al Arab hotel, Burj Khalifa, the Vinci Tower, and the Dubai Hydropolis complex. All of these contribute to making Dubai one of the most modern and luxurious cities in the world. The most remarkable feature of the garden is the flower-laden airplane, a replica of an Emirates Airline Airbus A380, which was recognized by the Guinness World Records in 2016 as the “Largest Floral Installation.”

• Burj Al Arab Hotel – Shaped like a billowing sail reaching out into the Persian Gulf, this luxurious and unique hotel is considered a symbol of the wealthy city of Dubai. Many areas of the hotel are adorned with 22-carat gold leaf, creating a dazzling, mystical, and opulent feeling upon entry (photo stop outside).

• Palm Island (Palm Jumeirah) – This renowned land reclamation project is the world’s largest artificial island, shaped like a colossal palm tree with eight fronds on each side, encircled by a crescent-shaped breakwater. The group will admire Palm Island from above via the modern Monorail system and take photos with the Atlantis Hotel.

Lunch: The group will have lunch and return to the hotel for a rest.

At 3:00 PM, the group will embark on a Desert Safari by Land Cruiser, venturing deep into the heart of the desert. Relax on cushions in a palm-leaf Bedouin tent, and enjoy a BBQ dinner spread on traditional carpets. You’ll also have the opportunity to ride a camel, experience traditional Arabian culture with captivating belly dance performances set to Arabic music, and get henna tattoos on your hands.

At 8:00 PM, the vehicle will take the group back to the hotel for rest.

Important Note: We recommend guests bring instant noodles. After the desert BBQ, which features a Muslim menu that some may find unfamiliar, the instant noodles can provide a comforting meal back at the hotel. Nonetheless, the desert BBQ is a unique and exciting experience that attracts many tourists to Dubai.

Please Note: Each vehicle will carry 6 passengers. Elderly guests and children should ideally be in one vehicle together, requesting a slower pace, as the dune bashing can be quite adventurous and may cause motion sickness.

Morning: Enjoy breakfast at the hotel. At the appointed time, your vehicle and guide will transfer the group to the airport for check-in on flight EK392 DXB – SGN, departing at 9:40 AM and arriving back in Ho Chi Minh City at 7:35 PM.

This concludes your tour. We look forward to seeing you on your next trip!
