In our three days in Dubai , we managed to build an incredible itinerary with thanks to the team in Desert Adventures , Dubai who coordinated a jam packed few days .
From the moment we arrived in Dubai Airport , Desert Adventures took all the hassle out of travelling . We were picked up by out lovely driver and guide and not to waste a minute , headed straight for a guided tour to Dubai ’ s spice and textile souks . A market like no other , a complete sensory experience . Wall to wall colour , smells and Arabian atmosphere . We would recommend a guide here as markets are not for the tame hearted and can be overwhelming with so much choice on offer
