Itinerary
Day 1
Pickup from your Dubai hotel in the main Dubai area approximately 20–30 minutes before the first stop below. The guide and driver will cruise you in a cabriolet (Ford Mustang or Chevy Camaro) between photo spots; light walking at Souk Madinat Jumeirah is included. Evening timings aim for golden hour and the Dubai Fountain shows when possible.
Burj Al Arab
Short photo stop in front of the hotel main entrance for classic convertible + Burj Al Arab shots. Minimal walking required; vehicle will stop close to the main access road for pictures.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the driver to stop on the Jumeirah public viewpoint side of the hotel for unobstructed photos; the driveway itself is restricted.
- Carry a light wrap for the convertible evening breeze; temperatures can drop after sunset even in autumn.
- Arrive with camera ready—15 minutes is scheduled, so set up shots quickly.
Souk Madinat Jumeirah
Walk through the souk and the man-made canals (the 'Venice in Dubai' area); time available for a coffee or small souvenir shopping.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear comfortable shoes—the souk has stepped levels and a few short bridges; allow 25–35 minutes for a relaxed walk and coffee.
- If you want coffee, request a quieter café along the inner canal rather than the terrace cafés facing main walkways.
- Souk vendors accept cards and cash (AED); keep small bills for quick purchases.
Palm Jumeirah (drive to the Crescent / Atlantis)
Scenic drive along the trunk and fronds of Palm Jumeirah with a photo stop on the Crescent to capture Atlantis and the skyline. Guide will explain island construction and layout.
Tips from local experts:
- Hold tight to small belongings during convertible cruising; sudden gusts can lift loose items.
- Ask the guide for the best side of the car to sit on for skyline and Atlantis photos depending on light.
- There is limited time at the Crescent — plan one or two key shots rather than long walks.
Dubai Marina
Drive along Dubai Marina and a short stop on the Marina Walk to view skyscrapers and moored yachts; ideal for twilight skyline photos.
Tips from local experts:
- If you want photos with yachts in the background, request a stop nearest the Marina Walk pedestrian area rather than main road.
- Evening can be breezy along the water—secure hats and loose items for convertible photos.
- There are public restrooms at Marina Walk if needed; ask your guide for the nearest facility during the stop.
Burj Khalifa (viewpoint & Dubai Fountain)
Evening view toward Burj Khalifa and, where timing allows, the Dubai Fountain show. The guide will position the car at a viewpoint or the nearby promenade for photos and commentary.
Tips from local experts:
- If you want to watch the Dubai Fountain show, let the guide know—shows run on a schedule in the evening and require a short wait.
- The area near Dubai Mall can be busy; keep a close eye on personal items during brief stops.
- Expect cooler air near the waterfront promenade in the evening—bring a light jacket for comfort in the open-top car.
Sheikh Zayed Road (drive-by)
Final cruise along Sheikh Zayed Road to enjoy the illuminated skyline and major skyscrapers before return to hotel.
Tips from local experts:
- Sheikh Zayed Road is best experienced from the cabriolet for skyline photos—keep cameras ready for sweeping shots.
- Traffic can vary after evening events; the guide will choose the quickest return route to your hotel.
- If you prefer to be dropped near a specific hotel entrance, tell the guide at pickup so return routing is planned.
