Dubai - 4x4 Desert Safari & BBQ Dinner

Dubai is known for its opulence and ultra-modern skyscrapers, but there’s so much more to this incredible city than that. So, it’s time to grab your sunscreen and head out on an incredible desert safari adventure with this exciting day tour. In the morning, you’ll have a chance to admire the stunning natural beauty of the surrounding scenery as you’re driven from your hotel to a secluded safari camp in the desert. Then, following a short welcome and the chance to refresh yourself with traditional drinks and snacks, you’ll embark on your exhilarating ‘Dune Bashing’ experience - a thrilling ride where an expert will navigate the shifting sands of the Dubai desert with slipping, sliding, and skidding all part of the fun. Upon your return to camp, you’ll have the chance to shake the sand out of your shoes and then be given the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the rich culture of the region; traditional attire, mehndi (henna tattooing), dramatic fire shows, dazzling belly-dancing, and shisha pipe smoking will all be available alongside a dinner buffet bursting with delicious dishes drawing on local flavours and cuisines. Ending the day with a traditional Tanoura show, this once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience Arabic hospitality and the electrifying excitement of Dubai’s iconic ‘Dune Bashing’ promises to be unforgettable.

Hunter Valley - Food & Wine Tour

It’s time to say goodbye to the hustle and bustle of Sydney’s busy streets and venture out into the rolling hills and luscious landscape of the Hunter Valley, Australia’s oldest wine-growing region and home to some of this incredible nation’s most popular vineyards. A comprehensive full-day tour with several wine-tasting experiences, cheese tasting, and a delicious lunch, this unique exploration of the Hunter Valley region showcases the best of this area’s local produce and provides you with an immersive – and wholly indulgent – experience unlike any other. A wine-growing region is famous for its Semillon – while also producing more than 20 varieties of wine, from Shiraz and Chardonnay to Cabernet Sauvignon and Verdelho. After spending a truly relaxing day in the Australian countryside, you’ll head back to Sydney with memories that are sure to last a lifetime – and a deeper appreciation for Australian wine and the wine-making process.
