Dubai, United Arab Emirates - This is one of the most exclusive tours in Dubai, an exciting chance to witness first-hand, the painstakingly planned growth of the multi-cultural metropolis of Dubai including traditional afternoon tea at the World's most luxurious hotel.

After meeting your guide, you immediately embark on a panoramic drive along the coastal residential area of Dubai known as Jumeirah. This area has been considered one of the most exclusive parts of the city in recent years and you will understand why when you see the upscale homes and modern-day palaces.

Your first photo stop is on the trunk of Palm Jumeirah, a fully reclaimed palm-tree-shaped island just off the coast of Dubai. The Palm Island is the self-declared 'Eighth Wonder of the World' and the island doubled the length of Dubai's coastline.

After seeing this wonder, you drive past the high rise condos of Jumeirah Beach Residence and see the world's largest artificially created Dubai Marina.

The highlight of this tour is a stop at Burj Al Arab, the World's most luxurious hotel to enjoy a traditional Afternoon Tea. You will enjoy afternoon tea in the famous Sahn Eddar Lounge which has the tallest indoor atrium in the world.

Next you drive along Sheikh Zayed Road to reach another of the city's premier hotels, the Kempinski Mall of the Emirates. Attached to this hotel is Dubai's first indoor Ski dome, Ski Dubai.

The tour continues to another modern icon of Dubai, the tallest building in the world. At 2,716 feet Burj Khalifa inspires awe like no other.

Finally, you have time for a brief photo stop at the world's tallest performing fountain laid out gracefully amidst 30 acres of the Burj Dubai Lake and soaring to a height of almost 500 feet.

This tour will have you talking about Dubai for years and will be the envy of other cruisers.
