The lure of Dubai is irresistible, from its glittering mega-skyscrapers to its traditional Islamic roots. Dubai’s most iconic sights include the 160-story Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest skyscraper, and the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, a luxury resort which happens to be shaped like a boat’s sail.

Dubai is all about luxe shopping, high-end boutiques, unique souqs (markets) and cultural institutions like the Dubai Museum. While you’re stopped on a Dubai cruise, you’re meant to live it up on unforgettable excursions like a helicopter tour of the city or a camel ride at the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve.

The island's landscape is dotted with lush mangrove forests and beautiful beaches, offering a tranquil escape and various nature-driven activities.

Archaeological sites on the island tell tales of ancient civilizations, including a 7th-century Christian monastery that visitors can explore. With its carefully preserved environment and rich heritage, Sir Bani Yas offers an exceptional encounter with both nature and history in a secluded setting.
