Dubai: 5 Emirates & Indian Ocean Day Tour with Russian Guide

Dubai is just the starting point on this day tour through five of the UAE's seven emirates. Leaving the city's skyscrapers behind, you'll drive through Sharjah before reaching Ajman, the smallest emirate, and continuing on to Umm Al Quwain to visit the Sheikh's former palace, now a museum. The route then climbs through the mountains of Ras Al Khaimah before dropping down to the Indian Ocean coast in Fujairah.

Along the way, this guided day tour stops at the King Faisal Mosque and the Ajman Museum, both with entry included, and at the Al Bidya Mosque, recognized as the oldest mosque in the UAE. Each stop offers a different angle on Emirati history and architecture, well beyond what you'd see staying in Dubai alone.

The day winds down at a hotel on the Indian Ocean shore, where a buffet lunch is included and you're free to swim in the pool or the sea before the drive back. With a Russian-speaking guide throughout, it's a full-day itinerary that covers a lot of ground without you having to plan the route yourself.

The day starts with pickup and a drive out of Dubai into Sharjah, then on to Ajman for a stop at the Ajman Museum. From there, you'll continue to Umm Al Quwain to see the former palace museum, before heading into the mountains of Ras Al Khaimah on the way to the Indian Ocean coast.

In Fujairah, you'll visit the Al Bidya Mosque and the King Faisal Mosque before arriving at a hotel on the coast for a buffet lunch. The rest of the stop is free time to swim in the pool or sea before the guide leads the group back to Dubai to close out the tour.
