Skyline Express · 2 Days

Day-by-day itinerary

1. Day 1 — Arrival & Marina night

   Our team meets you at the airport and drives you to your hotel to check in. In the evening you board a Marina dhow for a dinner cruise with a buffet and live entertainment.

2. Day 2 — City, desert & departure

   A half-day Dubai city tour takes in the Jumeirah Mosque, Dubai Frame, a Burj Khalifa photo stop and the old souks. In the afternoon you head to the red dunes for a desert safari with BBQ dinner. Then we transfer you back to the airport.

What's included

Is 2 days enough for Dubai?

Two days is enough for the must-see experiences. Skyline Express fits in a city tour, a desert safari with dinner and a Marina dhow cruise. It is perfect for a short trip, a long layover or a group adding Dubai onto another journey.

Making the most of two days in Dubai

Two days in Dubai is short, but it is enough when you plan it well. That is the whole idea behind Skyline Express. We pack the three things most groups come for into one easy plan: the city, the desert and the water. You never waste a minute on logistics, because we handle every pickup and every ticket for you.

What can a group see in Dubai in 2 days?

In two days a group can see old and new Dubai, ride the dunes and cruise the Marina. Day one covers the modern skyline and a dhow dinner on the water. Day two takes in the old souks, a Burj Khalifa photo stop and an evening desert safari with a BBQ. It is a full taste of the city, without the stress of trying to do it all.

Is a short Dubai trip worth it?

Yes, a short Dubai trip is well worth it, and it is perfect on a layover. Many flights stop in Dubai for a day or two, and that window is plenty for the headline sights. We have hosted groups who had barely 40 hours in the city and still left with the photos and memories they came for. The trick is a plan that flows, not a list you chase on your own.

When is the best time to visit Dubai?

The best time to visit Dubai is between November and March, when the weather is warm but not too hot. This is peak season, so the city is busy and lively. Summer, from June to August, is very hot by day, but hotels cost less and we run the tours early or late to beat the heat. We operate Skyline Express all year and shift the timing to suit the season.

What should your group pack?

Pack light, comfortable clothes, closed shoes for the sand and a light layer for cool evenings. The desert turns breezy after sunset, even in summer. Bring sunglasses, sunscreen and a phone or camera, because the dunes and the skyline are made for photos. For the dhow cruise and the city tour, smart-casual is just right.

Why book a package instead of separate tours?

Booking one package is cheaper and far less stress than booking each tour alone. You get one price, one team and free hotel pickup for everything. There are no booking fees and no chasing different operators across the city. In our 15 years here, the groups who relax the most are the ones who let us join the dots, so they simply turn up and enjoy. That is what Skyline Express is built to do.
