Middle East - Abu Dhabi

- 1 day - Desert, meets city, meets sea – this one-night Dubai and two-night Abu Dhabi trip had it all. Guests flew into Dubai on the overnight flight and had VIP meet and greet upon arrival. They were welcomed at the " Dubai Parks Resort" with a private breakfast on the terrace overlooking the water.
There was a bit of time to get changed and freshen up before heading out for a catamaran sail along the spectacular Dubai coastline. There was a BBQ lunch served onboard, sunbathing, plenty of swimming, all washed down with a cold beer (or four!) and some chilled music.The group had some time at leisure before a stroll along the marina to the Buddha Bar, definitely a priority when you only have one evening in Dubai!
The atmosphere was electric, the food fantastic and the service impeccable. While most guests continued the night upstairs in the bar, others meandered back to the Intercontinental for a good night sleep before the exhilarating day ahead tomorrow.
- 2 day - After a relaxing breakfast, guests were packed up and ready to head out in 4×4 jeeps to the desert to enjoy spectacular scenery and the thrill of dune bashing with their experienced drivers taking them well off road into the Arabian desert.
There was time for a quick break in the middle of nowhere, and a chance to show off their surfing skills. Refreshing ice cold drinks were served in the shade of a tent whilst having a bit of a laugh at some of the trips and falls as colleagues came down the slope – at least they had a soft landing! After an action-packed morning, it was lunch in the middle of the desert, where the buffet was endless and drinks plentiful.
A mid-afternoon arrival to the hotel meant that guests had some time to relax before dinner. Of course, luggage was transferred directly to the hotel and placed in rooms before guests arrived. A special dinner with private tables on the decking overlooking the beach with the feel of the cool sea breeze, which was very welcome after time in the desert. The guests were served amazing family-style Mediterranean food and reminisced about the day until late in the evening.
- 3 day - A much needed lie in and a leisurely breakfast meant that guests were raring to go for their afternoon activity. They met around midday transferring to Origins at the Yas Viceroy for a superb lunc.
There was nowhere better to end the trip than with a private dinner on the lawns of the Ritz Carlton Abu Dhabi. An unbeatable location, with unrivalled views over the famous blue mosque, lit up in all its glory, emphasized by the dark night sky. Endless chow mein, delicious sushi and amazing green curry were served, cementing a great end to a packed but absolutely unforgettable trip!
