Umm Al-Quwain Desert Safari Tours

Although sunbathing on the beach is nice, a vacation really comes alive when travelers add sightseeing or fishing cruises to their plans. Vacationers in Dubai have the best of both worlds, with access to its elegant marina and the vast Rub' al Khali desert at the city's doorstep. The Persian Gulf and nearby Arabian Sea offer unlimited options for fishing and scuba diving adventures. So many, in fact, that travelers may not know where to begin.

From Dune Bashing to Deep-Sea Fishing Cruises

An online adventure service puts together fishing cruises, desert safaris and everything in between. Its website probably contains ideas that vacationers have never heard of or tried before, such as sand boarding, indoor skiing and hot-air balloon touring. Of course, it offers the tried-and-true vacation favorites, such as special dinner cruises for two and sightseeing tours of local attractions. In Dubai, however, the usual attractions are spectacular.

Dubai is known for its engineering feats, and a cruise in any direction will highlight them. For example, a Dubai Creek dinner boat ride sails past some of the world's most amazing architecture, including a skyscraper in progress that is destined to be the world's tallest. Any number of marina charters will visit Palm Island, an entirely manmade island that boasts palatial villas and stately watercraft. All of this coexists with some of the world's best fishing, and an adventure service can arrange a charter, crew and equipment.

To book, vacationers purchase vouchers for one or two online, get their travel dates and then schedule their adventures. Dream Days specializes in safaris, fishing cruises and other thrills in the United Arab Emirates.
