Flight times vary by airline and travel date. This plan follows a morning flight to Dubai and an afternoon flight home, and your planner confirms the exact times on your written quote before you pay.

Day 1: Nairobi to Dubai

Morning: Wheels Up from JKIA Your flight to Dubai leaves JKIA in the early morning, so plan to reach the airport about three hours before departure with your passports, printed e visas and hotel vouchers in hand. Settle in for roughly five hours in the air together.

Afternoon: Landing in Dubai Clear immigration at Dubai International, collect your bags and meet your driver in the arrivals hall for the private drive to Al Barsha. Check in opens mid afternoon, giving you time to unpack and take a first look over the city from the rooftop.

Evening: A First Walk Together Stroll to Mall of the Emirates, a short walk from the hotel, and watch skiers glide down the slopes of Ski Dubai through the glass. Choose a place for dinner and keep the first night easy.

Overnight: Hampton by Hilton Dubai Al Barsha or similar Meals: None included

Day 2: Old Dubai and a New Skyline

Morning: The City in One Morning After breakfast, your guide collects you for a shared half day city tour. Stops vary by operator but usually take in the Al Fahidi historical quarter, a crossing of Dubai Creek and photo stops at landmarks such as Jumeirah Mosque and Burj Al Arab.

Afternoon: Rooftop Pool Hours Head back to the hotel and give the afternoon to the rooftop pool before the evening ahead.
