During your stay you will have plenty of time to explore this fascinating city, that rises from the desert by the Arabian Sea.

Down by the creek, in the Old Town, you’ll find traditional souks selling an array of spices, gold and textiles. You can learn how the city grew from a small fishing village at the museum and even tour a local mosque.

The best views of Dubai can be seen from the observation deck on the 124th floor of the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. At base of the tower is just one of the massive shopping malls that Dubai is famous for.

Alternatively, you could head into the desert on a 4×4 safari, hurtle down the waterslides at one of the waterparks, or visit the aquarium within Atlantis at the end of the iconic palm.

With five nights to rest and relax on Tanzania’s most famous spice island, you will have plenty of time to enjoy the calm turquoise seas and pristine white beaches that Zanzibar is famous for.

Zanzibar is also a great island to try your hand at wind-surfing, kayaking and snorkelling amongst the coral reefs. At certain points along the eastern side of the island you can even walk to the outer reefs at low tide.

You may also like to visit the the historic city of Stone Town. You can wander through the impressive fish and spice markets, and explore the winding alleys and cobbled streets of the old town. Keep an eye out for the impressive doors along each street. You can learn more about the history of spice trading and the dark times of slavery at the museum in Stone Town.

Wildlife lovers will want to visit Jozani Forest in the centre of the island to follow the movements of the rare Colobus Monkeys that move among the tree tops.

To save time, you can pre-book your Zanzibar experiences and day tours before you travel.
