Our Companion Program includes 2 days of touring, breakfast each morning and all the social events.
Welcome Reception, Tuesday Night Dinner and the President's Reception & Awards Banquet (Wednesday Evening).
Lunch will be included both days.
After breakfast at the hotel (included in the Companion Program), your tour guide will meet you in the hotel lobby at 10:00.
Your tour will start with a visit to the Etihad Museum where you will discover the contemporary history of the United Arab Emirates.
At the museum, you will discover what life was like before the treaty that unified the seven emirates. There is no better place to gain insight into the UAE’s extraordinary economic development since its independence as the first federation in the Arab world.
You will then continue on to Atlantis the Palm, a luxury hotel resort located at the apex of the Palm Jumeirah. It was the first resort to be built on the island and is themed on the myth of Atlantis but includes distinct Arabian elements. This will be followed by a stop at Burj Al Arab. One of Dubai’s most famous tourist landmarks, the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah often stands among the top five – if not the absolute peak – of the world’s most iconic hotels. Your next stop will be the 124th floor of the famous Burj Khalifa, known as the tallest structure in the world.
Lunch will be served at the Bayside Restaurant in the Steigenberger Hotel and at approximately 16:00 you will be dropped back at the hotel.

After breakfast and a pick up at the hotel at 10:00, your tour will start at Al Fahidi Museum, the main museum in Dubai. Located in the Al Fahidi Fort and built in 1787, it is the oldest existing building in Dubai.
The museum was opened by the ruler of Dubai in 1971, with the aim of presenting the traditional way of life in the Emirate of Dubai. When entering, one can see the fort construction and the various displays that go along with it. From the fort, there is a path to the galleries, which display the general culture of the land, especially in the 1800s. It includes local antiques as well as artifacts from African and Asian countries that traded with Dubai.
Your tour will then take you on an Abra Ride across The Creek - the original center of the city's commerce, which still buzzes with boats zipping up and down plying their trade and cargo. Using the Abra is a great way to take in some of the older parts of the city.
A walking tour of the Gold & Spice Souq is next on the list. Take a deep breath when you step into the narrow alleyways of the Spice Souk, located in Deira. Savor the atmosphere and aroma of the past as you are introduced to the mounds of aromatic herbs and spices spilling from large baskets at every turn. You'll find bags of spices, incense, rose petals and traditional medicinal products stacked outside each stall. If you're looking to buy, bargaining is the norm in the souks - and even in the shops you should ask for the best price, particularly when paying cash, which is the most common way to pay.
Your last stop will be the Dubai Frame, an amazing structure created out of glass, steel, aluminum, and reinforced concrete. It is positioned in such a way that representative landmarks of modern Dubai can be seen on one side, while from the other side, visitors can also view older parts of the city.
Lunch will be served at the Arabic Restaurant in the Heritage Guest House and you will be dropped back at the hotel at around 16:00.

After your tour guide picks you up from the hotel lobby at 9:00 your tour will take you to Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. Abu Dhabi sits off the mainland on an island in the Persian (Arabian) Gulf. Its focus on oil exports and commerce is reflected by the skyline’s modern towers and shopping mega-centers, such as Abu Dhabi and Marina malls.
Your tour will stop at the vast Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque featuring an immense Persian carpet, crystal chandeliers and capacity for 41,000 worshipers.
You will then go to Emirates Palace, located on the shores of the Arabian Gulf and overlooking its own private natural bay. Emirates Palace is one of the most iconic landmarks of Abu Dhabi.
Your last stop before returning to Dubai will be The Louvre, Abu Dhabi an art and civilization museum, located in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
