Short Description

This is an escorted tour. It’s perfect if you prefer not to do your own driving and want to see as many sights as you can during your vacation. 


What's better than one Emirate? How about seven Emirates? On this vacation, go beyond Dubai and discover the beauty, history and culture of the United Arab Emirates. 

Your escorted trip begins in the glitzy city of Dubai, home to the Burj Khalifa, Gold Souk, Dubai Mall and so much more. Enjoy a half-day city tour before heading outside the city on a desert safari adventure! You'll then travel by coach to the capital of the UAE, Abu Dhabi. Stroll the beautiful grounds of Sheikh Zayed Mosque and tour the Formula 1 racetrack on a city tour as you take in this stunning city.

From Abu Dhabi, enjoy a full-day tour of Al Ain, an oasis city filled with beautiful relics of the past. Your next adventure takes you to Sharjah, the cultural capital of the UAE that's home to countless grand mosques and colorful souks where you can pick up unique souvenirs. Your final day is spent in the "Norway of Arabia," the Musandam Peninsula in Oman.

Itinerary

Day 1 Welcome to Dubai!

Say hello to the glamorous city of Dubai! Arrive at Dubai Airport, and meet with a representative, ready to help you navigate your way to your airport transfer. Once settled in, celebrate your first night in the United Arab Emirates by sampling a staple dish; indulge in a serving of iconic shawarma or perhaps something more exotic like camel.

Day 2 Dubai

Today is packed with culture and natural wonders. Embark on your city tour today, then enjoy a thrilling adventure to the Arabian Desert. 

Day 3 Dubai - Abu Dhabi

Say goodbye to Dubai for now as you transfer to Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates. Enjoy a comprehensive half-day tour taking you to the city's iconic sights like the Sheikh Zayed Mosque. 

Day 4 Abu Dhabi - Al Ain

This morning, visit a unique Camel leather tannery factory. It is the first tannery to produce an exclusive range of leathers tanned using the most advanced environmentally friendly technologies, guaranteed metal-free, sustainable and biodegradable. Unlike traditional leathers universally produced with synthetic oils to gain their required softness, the natural oils used in the process consist of vegetable sustainable extracts.

After, continue to Al Ain, known as the "Garden City of the Gulf." The birthplace of the United Arab Emirates' founder Sheikh Zayed was once a vital stop on the caravan route between Oman and the Gulf. At the end of the afternoon, you'll check into your hotel, eat a delicious dinner, and stay overnight. 

Day 5 Al Ain - Sharjah - Dubai

In the morning, embark on a half-day tour to Sharjah, the cultural capital of the UAE. Visit mosques, a heritage museum, and two colorful souks! You'll end your day back in Dubai. 

Day 6 Dubai - Fujairah (Dibba) - Musandam Cruise (Oman) - Dubai

Leave the United Arab Emirates for a day as you travel to the Musandam Peninsula in Oman. Known as the "Norway of the Arabia," Musandam is filled with fjord-like inlets, pebble beaches and sheltered bays. 

Day 7 Depart United Arab Emirates

Your Emirates vacation ends today. Spend the morning at leisure before transferring to the Dubai airport for your flight home.

The reservations, car rental, and hotel reservations all worked well, with no issues. The additional tickets to attractions also worked well. We really enjoyed our time there and would love to go back one day. The value for the trip was great. Now, on the not-so-great side was that two of the 5 hotels were far off course from the route we wanted to take and were not in synch with the attractions we purchased as an add on. Celtic Ross and Ocean Sands hotels were a bit far removed from our preferred route that we would have liked to have taken and not feel rushed. These two hotels, although nice, were nowhere near any of the attractions and cities we wanted to see (Cork and Galway), but we were forced to adjust our scheduled to hit the attractions and make it to the hotels. This made for a couple of days where we had to drive great distances ,in the rain and in rural Ireland, to make it to the hotels. We made friends from a couple from PA that made the same exact trip to Ireland with GVV and they were unable to see the Cliffs of Moher attraction because they just didn't feel like they could make it due to the extended drive ranges. I called in to GVV home office before we left USA to see if I could adjust the hotel arrangements to make the tour more enjoyable but was immediately told that I could make no adjustments to the itinerary. Hotels in Kilkenny and Limerick were both awesome and right in the heart of the city and easy to get to. The last hotel in Swords was nice because it was close to the airport for final trip back to the airport. So, to make this Ireland trip more enjoyable, the hotels need to be closer to the attraction packages you guys sell so as not force a huge amount of driving to see them and make it to the next hotel. Overall, we loved the Ireland trip. I am surprised they let us Americans jump in a car rental and drive on their opposite side of the roads (left). PS; Wild Kerry Tours did an awesome job as well, but the start point of the tour was a little challenging to find in Killarney.

The customer service was horrible. I sent multiple emails, called multiple times and maybe got a response once. Outside of that my trip was good.

Excellent booking, poor quality hotels

Excellent flights to and from Dublin. Some issues with obtaining car insurance at the rental agency (it is required to purchase extra before they release the car to you). Only one out of the 4 hotels was a true 4 star hotel. The rest were closer to 2-2.5.

This was our first time in Ireland. We loved the accommodations and everything about Ireland. The itinerary and experiences were exceptional. Our only comment is that there was a lot of driving to the sites and locations. We would definitely recommend the 12 day. We were unable to see some recommended sites because we had to backtrack. We will be booking another vacation through Great Value.
