11 Day Tour – Dubai & Mauritius

New day, new vibe - travel back in time in Old Dubai! Ready for a throwback? If you want to get away from the glitzy high life, check out the Al Fahidi district in the north of the city. Between sandy colors, narrow alleys and old mud houses, you'll feel like you're in an open-air museum. Dubai shows you its roots here - without any filters. The Al Fahidi Fort (yes, the one with the tower!) takes you directly to the Dubai Museum and gives you a really good insight into what everything looked like before the oil era. And then: boat time! Hop on a water cab across Dubai Creek (costs next to nothing) and cruise over to colorful Deira. Souks that really have everything are waiting there: Gold, spices, fish - and lots of character. Just let yourself drift, you'll be amazed at how many sides Dubai has.

Start the day full of flower power! It gets colorful in the Miracle Garden: over 70,000 m² full of flower sculptures - from hearts to airplanes. Here in Dubai, everything is simply next level. Everything that follows proves this: first the Burj al Arab, one of the most luxurious hotels in the world. Shopping vibes? Dubai Mall is calling - over 1,200 stores plus highlights such as a giant aquarium with a glass tunnel, an ice skating rink, a house of horrors and a real dinosaur skeleton - simply amazing. And the cherry on top of the cream cake! The Burj Khalifa - the tallest building in the world! Platforms on floors 124, 125 & 148 (optionally bookable, costs extra) offer mega views over the city. And in the evening? Don't miss the Dubai Fountain Show - best enjoyed from the Apple Store terrace on the 1st floor. Pure magic!

Good morning, Dubai! You wake up one last time in the metropolis of millions. What items are still on your Dubai bucket list? Now is the last chance to tick them off. You haven't taken a selfie in front of the Burj Khalifa yet? Then go for it - this photo should not be missing from your collection! Is your stomach growling? How about a delicious lunch in one of the many restaurants (optional, payable on site)? Sit back and enjoy the beautiful, almost royal view of the city skyline.
With the day fully savored, it's time to turn your back on Dubai and head to the airport. Where are you spending the night tonight? Above the clouds! You close your eyes as the sea of lights in Dubai gets smaller and smaller below you. Sweet dreams!

You are already on the plane in the middle of the night. Wave to the mega-metropolis once again and watch as Dubai's colorful sea of lights becomes smaller and smaller below you until the city can only be guessed at. Accompanied by the stars in the sky, you fly at lightning speed to one of the most beautiful natural jewels on our planet!
Mauritius. Fantastic beaches, mountain peaks, rainforest and waterfalls - everything on this little piece of earth! Grab your rental car and step on the gas - your adventure begins. First stop: your accommodation! In the middle of nature, you'll find your glamping tent, where you won't miss a single sound of nature. But before the sound of the river lulls you to sleep, you explore the area and familiarize yourself with your options. Because it never gets boring here!

Your spirit of discovery is awakened: What's there to see here? The lodge offers you countless opportunities to explore nature. Grab a stand-up paddleboard or a kayak and set off on the Grand River South East. Pass beautiful mangroves on your way to a majestic waterfall. You know that feeling when you've reached your destination and it's even more beautiful than you thought? Pause for a moment and enjoy the picture-book panorama. Back at your accommodation, you are drawn to the sea - the salty scent in your nose and the soft sand between your toes as you stroll along the beach. Fancy cooling off? If your toes are tingling again after sunbathing in the afternoon, pedal off and explore the mountain landscape on a mountain bike (available to hire free of charge on site). Along the river, you are always surrounded by sugar cane plantations and discover small hidden waterfalls on the way to Mahébourg - that's Mauritius!

You could really get used to your alarm clock of birdsong and the sound of water - what's on the agenda today? How about authentic vibes, local produce and lively city life? Jump into your rental car - Mahébourg's hustle and bustle beckons you on a tour of discovery. Visit the market, which offers all kinds of exotic street food, and soak up the genuine, colorful life of Mauritius. You can already see Lion Mountain from the city's promenade - do you recognize the lion's silhouette? If you would like to pay a visit to the king of the animals, lace up your hiking boots and walk over his back right up to his head. Even if the hike costs you a bead or two of sweat - the effort is worth it! Once you reach the top, a unique panorama and a magical moment await you: your gaze wanders over the entire east coast to the turquoise blue sea and glistening white sandy beaches. Wow! Would you rather work on your complexion and have a really good time on the beach? Then head on to the beautiful Pointe d'Esny beach. Mauritius has something for everyone.

Looking for a contrasting program? No problem, Port Louis is calling! The island's capital is literally pulsating with life and lures you into its alleyways full of colorful delicacies and must-sees. Your motto: always follow your nose! At the Central Market, you can get everything your heart desires, from fresh fruit to wild spice blends that will conjure up the taste of Mauritius on your tongue. Be sure to try it: Pineapple with salt and chili! Sounds unusual, but tastes heavenly! Your next stop: the small coastal town of Flic en Flac. Walk along the palm-lined promenades down to the beach and plop down on the first sun lounger you come across. Enjoy the sound of the waves, the warmth of the sun on your cheeks and the feeling of timelessness in your own personal paradise. Even the most beautiful paradise has to say goodbye at some point - but not without a stopover at the impressive Tamarind Falls!
Grab your rental car, step on the gas pedal and head for Bel Ombre. Once there, it's time to put your feet up: Put your feet up, enjoy the sun and relax. And where better to do that than on the beautiful white sandy beach?

The best thing about Mauritius: despite its small size, the island combines many natural phenomena. See for yourself today! You decide where to go: at the island's holiest Hindu temple, the Grand Bassin, also known as Ganga Talao, you look directly at a huge statue of Shiva. The lake behind it, which according to legend contains healing water, is surrounded by majestic statues of gods - simply impressive! Or is the Black River Gorges National Park on your bucket list? You shouldn't miss the view from the Gorges Viewpoint in particular! Do you prefer colorful instead of green? Stand at the top of the platform in La Vallee des Couleurs Nature Park and you'll be overwhelmed: In the middle of dense forest lies a rainbow-colored sand dune - the "Seven Colored Earth". What a sight! Another must-see on the island: the Chamarel Waterfall. The natural masses of water plunge into the depths here as if painted.

Today is the day: it's time to say goodbye. Depending on when your return journey starts, you can make the most of the last few hours. Then it's back to Mahébourg, where you say goodbye to your rental car. But your heart is set on Mauritius. Wave to the green jewel in the turquoise ocean one last time. The perfect distraction for the next few hours on your way home? Your snapped souvenir photos! Browse through unforgettable moments and think about where to start your stories back home.

You land at your destination airport in the morning. A laughing and a crying eye accompany you on your way home, but one thing is certain: Dubai and Mauritius have not welcomed you for the last time.
