Two Emirates, One Package
Dubai and Abu Dhabi Tour Package: 5 Days / 4 Nights
Two nights in Dubai, two nights in Abu Dhabi, with city tours in both, a desert safari, the Grand Mosque and the Louvre, and one Arabiers team handling every hotel, ticket and transfer in between.
Children's rates and single traveller supplements quoted on enquiry. Price varies by season and hotel choice.
One operator, both emirates
Most visitors book Dubai and Abu Dhabi separately and lose half a day to logistics. Here one team runs both cities: the same WhatsApp thread confirms your pickup in Dubai and your Louvre slot in Abu Dhabi.
The inter-city day done properly
The Dubai to Abu Dhabi transfer is not a bus ride. It is a touring day: leave Dubai after breakfast, arrive at the Grand Mosque for the best morning light, and check in to your Abu Dhabi hotel by late afternoon.
Built by people on the ground
Arabiers operates its own vehicles and guides in the UAE. No resold excursions, no third party pickups, and one accountable team from airport to airport.
The Experience
Two skylines, and one team that just handles it
Dubai gives you the Burj Khalifa, the souks, the marina and an evening desert safari. Abu Dhabi answers with the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the Louvre, Qasr Al Watan and the Corniche. Five days is enough to do both properly, provided nobody wastes your time between them, and that is the entire point of this package.
Every hotel night, entry ticket and transfer is confirmed before you fly. If you would rather stay longer in the capital, the 10 day Abu Dhabi Grand Tour goes deeper into the emirate, and all our Abu Dhabi tour packages can be tailored to your dates.
How the two cities split across five days
The package runs Dubai first, Abu Dhabi second, which is the direction most international flights make natural. Days one and two cover Dubai: a full city tour on arrival day or the morning after, then a free morning and an evening desert safari with BBQ dinner. Day three is the transfer day built around the Grand Mosque. Days four and five belong to Abu Dhabi: the Louvre and Qasr Al Watan, Yas Island or the Corniche depending on your taste, and departure transfer to either airport.
Because Arabiers is the ground operator rather than a reseller, the running order can be reversed, stretched or rebuilt around your flights at no extra cost. The comparison below shows how this package sits against the other ways of combining the two cities.

Who this package suits
This is the right package for a first UAE visit where you want both cities without planning any of it. It is not the right choice for everyone:
- Travellers who only have 2 or 3 days should take a single city stay with a day trip instead
- Guests who want five star or ultra luxury hotels should look at the Luxury Abu Dhabi Tour Package, G-Class VIP Edition
- Visitors who have already seen Dubai will get more from our Abu Dhabi only packages

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Dubai and Abu Dhabi tour package cost?
From 3,950 AED per person on twin sharing for 5 days and 4 nights, covering two 4-star hotels, daily breakfast, four guided tours, all entry tickets listed and every transfer including the inter-city journey. International flights and visas are extra. The final price depends on your travel dates and hotel choice, and we confirm it in writing before you commit.
Which city should I stay in first, Dubai or Abu Dhabi?
We run Dubai first and Abu Dhabi second by default, because most international arrivals land in Dubai and the route lets us time the Grand Mosque for late morning on the transfer day. If your flights arrive into Abu Dhabi, we simply reverse the order at no extra cost.
How far is Abu Dhabi from Dubai?
Around 140 km, roughly 90 minutes by private vehicle door to door. In this package the transfer is a touring day rather than a straight drive, with the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque visited en route.
Can I extend the package or change the hotels?
Yes. Every Arabiers package is tailored before booking: extra nights in either city, hotel upgrades, or swapped experiences are quoted on request. For a longer stay focused on the capital, see the 10 day Abu Dhabi Grand Tour Package.
Do I need a visa for this package?
That depends on your nationality. Many Western passports receive a visa on arrival in the UAE, while others need one in advance. We do not include visa fees in the package price, and our visa team can advise and process one for you if needed.
Is the desert safari suitable for children and older travellers?
Yes, with adjustments. Dune bashing can be skipped for guests who prefer a gentler drive into the camp, and the camp itself, dinner and shows suit all ages. Tell us your party when you enquire and the safari is arranged accordingly.
