The programme
What this trip is
2 days of tours and experiences bundled at the sharp price: you book the bed, we run the days. One booking covers every day of activity (private touring, transfers between them and the named entries) sequenced so each day builds on the last. The bed is yours to choose; we work around whichever hotel you pick.
Every package is adjusted to your dates, pace and taste before anything is confirmed. Tell us who is travelling and we will shape it around you.
Multi-day trips live or die on sequencing: which day to spend in the desert, when to see the mosque, where the rest day belongs. That ordering is the craft we sell.
Practicalities, handled: your driver's WhatsApp arrives the evening before with the exact pickup time; the vehicle carries chilled water and chargers; timings flex on the day if a flight, a nap or a whim demands it. Full refund up to sixty days before travel, and you can pay on the day.
In short
- 2 days of tours and experiences bundled at the sharp price
- Fully customisable before confirmation
- One booking, zero logistics
- Sequenced by people who live here
- WhatsApp support before and during
- Full refund up to sixty days before travel

Three columns and no small print: what the published figure covers, what you can add and exactly what it costs, and what sits outside the price with the reason it has to. Every line is this programme's own record; where a line is specified by another of our listings, the source is printed under it so you can go and read it.

Lines: 6
Not included: You book your own accommodation; we work around wherever you stay
Not included: Attraction entry tickets unless listed as included
Not included: Meals and personal expenses unless listed
Not included: Gratuities (appreciated, never expected)
Not included: Travel insurance
arranged for you and quoted separately, because the premium depends on your ages, dates and cover
Quoted in writing before anything is confirmed
Not included: Visa fees where a visa is needed
the authority sets these by passport and length of stay, and we quote them with your proposal
Quoted in writing before anything is confirmed
Travel insurance and any visa fees are quoted with your written proposal, before anything is confirmed. A premium depends on your ages, your dates and the level of cover you want; a visa fee is set by the authority and depends on the passport and the length of stay. Neither figure can sit honestly inside a headline price, so neither is buried in one, and nothing is added at the payment page.
This programme is priced per person and carries no accommodation; you book your own rooms and we work around wherever you stay. The figure is adjusted to your dates and party before confirmation.
Add-on
A chauffeur on the free days
This programme includes a car and driver on every touring day. For the days in between, add a chauffeur by the day, in the car you choose.
Touring days already include the car, so a chauffeur is only ever charged on days without a tour.
Beyond the car
Arrive by private jet, or land at the hotel by helicopter
Two ways to open or close this programme that skip the road entirely. Both are quoted to the day and the aircraft, so there is no fixed price to publish, only a real one once we know the mission.
Private jet charter
The aircraft chartered to your dates and party, ground handling arranged at both ends, so the programme can open or close from almost anywhere rather than wherever a schedule happens to fly.
Contact for pricingAsk about thisHelicopter, straight to the hotel
Skip the transfer entirely: a helicopter from the airport direct to the hotel's own helipad where the property allows it, arranged around your programme's arrival.

Cancelling, changing, and if a day goes wrong
- Beyond sixty days a programme refunds in full to the original payment method. From thirty-one to sixty days, 75%. From fifteen to thirty days, 50%.
- Inside fourteen days a programme is charged in full, because rooms and inter-city cars are already committed. Over Christmas, New Year and Eid that becomes sixty days, because the rooms themselves are bought non-refundable.
- If we cancel (weather, an authority closure, a vehicle problem), you choose a full refund or a free re-book, and you get the reason in writing. Partner-operated activities are held to the same standard.
- If we cannot reach you within 45 minutes of the pickup time on the day, the booking is treated as a no-show and charged. Keep WhatsApp reachable on travel day and this never happens.
What to bring
- Sunscreen and sunglasses
- Comfortable shoes
Tell us at enquiry about wheelchairs, walking aids, prams, dietary needs or anything that changes the pace. The programme is re-sequenced around it before it is confirmed, rather than apologised for on the day.
Who to call
One coordinator runs your programme from the moment it is confirmed to the airport drop, on WhatsApp. Same thread for a changed plan, a late flight or a table you would rather move; you never re-explain the trip to someone new.
Guide notes for this programme
- Book your bed somewhere central: Corniche-side in Abu Dhabi or near the main road in Dubai: and every pickup gets easier.
- Put the desert on your first evening; sunset, dinner and an early night is the best jet-lag cure we know.
- Pack one mosque-compliant outfit at the top of the case: you will need it on day one, not day three of digging.
- Send us your flight times when you book; we will shape both days around them rather than around a template.
- With only two days, resist cramming a theme park and a Dubai day trip into one of them. Pick one big swing and do it properly.
Asked and answered
Questions guests ask about this programme
The questions that actually come in about Activities Holiday: 2 Days (No Hotel), answered against the itinerary rather than around it.
What exactly is included?
The listed activities, transport between your hotel and each of them, entry tickets where the itinerary includes them, and guiding on tour days. Not included: your hotel, flights, and meals except where an activity carries one, such as the desert BBQ. Your exact line-up is itemised on the booking confirmation.
So there is really no hotel in this?
Correct, and proudly so: that is where the sharp price comes from. You book the bed that suits your budget and we collect you from it. If you want the bed folded in, our All-Inclusive Value line does exactly that.
Are the tours shared or private?
The sharp price is built on shared departures where they exist: shared means sharing, and it is why the number looks the way it does. Private upgrades, including our Kia Carnival with your own driver, are quoted on request.
Can I change the days around?
Yes, day by day: before you arrive and usually during the trip too, subject to availability where timed tickets are involved. Two days is a tight canvas, so the earlier you tell us, the more we can move.
I am travelling alone. Can I book this?
Yes. Pricing is per person and the shared departures are genuinely good company for solo travellers. No single supplement applies because there is no hotel to apply it to.
Where do you pick up from?
Your hotel or residence, confirmed at booking. A base in central Abu Dhabi or along Dubai's main corridor keeps pickups early in the route and your mornings shorter.
Not answered here? Ask before you book, and the written proposal answers it again, in writing, before anything is confirmed.
