Seaplane Tour from Dubai to Abu Dhabi and Private Discovery Tour

Summary

Choose a morning or afternoon flight time. Then, on the day, travel to the seaplane dock at Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club, in central Dubai. Meet the pilot, fasten your seatbelt aboard your 9-seater, shared Cessna seaplane, and thrill as you take off from the waters of Dubai Creek. Then, admire Dubai’s skyline and the Arabian Gulf as your pilot charts a course over the city and out to sea. Marvel at the Burj Khalifa, the world’s highest tower, and swoop over the Burj Al Arab and Palm Jumeirah. Then, soar over The World, the artificial archipelago of islands shaped like the continents of the world. Next, fly south above the UAE coast to Abu Dhabi. Take in the skyscrapers and leisure attractions, including the Ferrari World theme park, and after 45 minutes in the air, touch down on the waters off the city. Say goodbye to your pilot, and set off by private, air-conditioned vehicle on a private, half-day sightseeing tour. Admire the Corniche, Abu Dhabi’s garden- and skyscraper-lined beachfront, and discover old-world souks, glitzy malls, and the city’s architectural landmarks. Stop to visit the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, one of the world’s biggest mosques, and enjoy a walking tour. Admire the marble domes, courtyards, and colonnades, and view the main prayer hall, decorated with chandeliers and the world’s biggest handmade carpet.
Drive to the Emirates Palace, Abu Dhabi’s luxurious 7-star hotel. Admire the magnificent building from the outside, and go inside to enjoy a signature Palace Cappuccino, a cup of aromatic coffee sprinkled with real, 24-carat gold flakes. Sip the gold-topped coffee as you soak up the lavish surroundings. Then, finish your experience with a return transfer and drop-off at your preferred destination in Dubai.
