Embark on an Unforgettable 10-Day Journey to Dubai & the Maldives!
Our incredible adventure begins in dazzling Dubai, a city of futuristic architecture, turquoise gulf waters, and nonstop thrills. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, nothing compares to our fun-filled 4-day itinerary designed to show you the very best this vibrant destination has to offer. We’ll explore cultural treasures like Fahidi Fort, stroll through the bustling Dubai souks and spice markets, enjoy an unforgettable dinner cruise aboard a traditional dhow boat, and experience an enchanting Bedouin feast under the stars, complete with live traditional dancing in the heart of the desert. To give you the freedom to explore, we’ve also included two free days in Dubai—perfect for choosing your own adventures. Whether it’s shopping at the famous Gold Souk, skiing indoors on the world’s largest indoor mountain, soaring on the world’s longest urban zipline, or visiting the iconic 124-story Burj Khalifa, there’s something for everyone.
Our group is staying in style at the 5-star Pullman Downtown Dubai Hotel, a luxurious property perfectly situated in the heart of the city—just a short walk from the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall, with easy access to restaurants, nightlife, and attractions.
After 4 unforgettable days in Dubai, we’ll fly nonstop with Emirates to the magical Maldives—a dream destination of over 1,000 islands scattered across the brilliant turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Known for having some of the clearest, bluest waters in the world, the Maldives is the ultimate tropical escape, famous for its overwater bungalows, pristine beaches and incredible marine life. For the next 5 nights and 6 days, we’ll stay at the vibrant and luxurious 5-star Hard Rock Maldives Private Island Resort, where white sands, turquoise seas and world-class amenities set the stage for pure relaxation and unforgettable memories.
After arriving at Malé (MLE) Airport, we’ll take a large, comfortable speedboat for a scenic transfer to our private island resort, where the experience begins the moment we check in. The Hard Rock Hotel Maldives, newly opened in 2019, offers a vibrant mix of luxury and fun. It features an award-winning spa, a beach club, a marine biology center, and the longest swimming pool in the Maldives. The resort is part of a lively two-island complex with more than 14 restaurants and bars to explore.
Breakfast and dinner are included each day, so you’ll only need to cover the cost of lunch and any alcoholic beverages. With so many dining options available, you’ll have no trouble finding something that suits your tastes. The resort is also home to the largest marina and watersports center in the Maldives, offering an impressive variety of activities. Snorkeling, diving excursions, big game fishing, sailboat rentals, and yacht charters are available for an additional fee, while kayaks, pedal boats, and snorkeling gear are complimentary.
For those who prefer to stay on land, there’s plenty to enjoy as well—daily yoga sessions, Zumba, aqua bikes, cooking classes, and complimentary bicycles and electric scooters for exploring the island. Or, if you’d rather take it slow, relax under the palm trees with a cocktail in hand while watching the sunset over the ocean.

FUN HAPPENINGS DAZZLING DUBAI & MAGICAL MALDIVES DAILY ITINERARY
Day 1 - Sat. March 14, 2026: Depart New York JFK Airport at 11:20AM
We depart New York JFK at 11:20am on EK #204, for an overnight flight to Dubai. Because we depart at 11:20am, it is best to arrive at JFK the day or evening before, as we need to check in for our Dubai flight at 8:20am on March 14th. There are many hotels in the JFK area that offer free shuttle to JFK or you can stay at the TWA Hotel, located right inside JFK, between Terminal 5.
Day 2 - Sun. March 15, : Welcome to Dubai | City Tour | Lunch on your own (B on flight) | Dinner and Evening is on your own in Dubai this evening
We arrive at Dubai DXB International airport at 7:50am on EK #204 from JFK. After clearing customs and baggage claim, our local guide meets us and takes our group by private coach, on a morning city tour of Dubai, as our rooms are not available for check-in until afternoon.
Our guided coach tour takes us to some of the oldest areas of Dubai, which mixes ancient tradition with ultramodern architecture. First, is the oldest part of the city, the Bastakia neighborhood. Here we find centuries-old houses of wealthy merchants with their towers built to catch wind and cool the buildings. We also see the Al Fahidi Fort, which has stood for almost two centuries defending the old settlers against their enemies. It currently houses the Dubai Museum. We will walk through some local markets and make our way to the docks at Abras, where we take a water taxi across the Creek to the area of spice and gold souks. We will see both tourists and locals haggling over items.
We then break for lunch in the marina district, where our hotel is located, and many choices of restaurants in the area. We will enjoy lunch on our own and return to our hotel mid-afternoon to check-in and enjoy the remainder of the afternoon and this evening, we enjoy an amazing Dinner cruise on the top rated Alexandra Dhow boat, for a delicious dinner with traditional entertainment, while we admire the modern architecture and surrounded by the world’s tallest buildings.
Our Dubai hotel is the posh Pullman Dubai Downtown Hotel, a modern 5-star building on the Dubai Canal and walking distance to many sights in Dubai, including the Burj Khalifa building and the Dubai Mall. It’s a perfect location to explore the modern district of Dubai. Overnight at 5-star Pullman Dubai Downtown Hotel (4 nights)
Day 3 - Mon. March 16, : Free Morning until 3:00 PM | Afternoon Departure for Desert Safari, Dune Bashing & Bedouin BBQ with Belly Dancing (B, D included today)
After breakfast, we are free until mid-afternoon to either relax or to explore this beautiful city on our own! There are so many options, from visiting the world’s tallest building - Burj Khalifa, as well as the world’s biggest shopping mall – Dubai Mall or even choosing to ski inside the Dubai Mall at the World’s largest indoor Ski Mountain. Both will defy your senses. A tour of the Burj not only shows you the great engineering feat it was to construct this tower, but also takes you through the exotic chronicles of Dubai’s history. Experience a ride in the world’s third fastest elevator that whips you through 124 levels above the ground!
We depart mid-afternoon, approximately 3PM, to travel to the desert that is just outside of Dubai. You’re then in for some great fun as we pile into air-conditioned jeeps to crisscross mountainous sand dunes for an afternoon of Dune Bashing. We stop to watch the beautiful sunset before reaching our campsite where you will have the opportunity to do a camel ride, sand boarding or try out a henna design on hand or feet. After working up an appetite, enjoy a delicious barbecue dinner and watch a traditional dancing performance beneath a sky filled with stars, before returning to Dubai.

EXPERIENCE THE MOST MAGICAL EUROPEAN CITIES OVER CHRISTMAS MARKETS: BUDAPEST, VIENNA & PRAGUE! $3195 + $1195 AIR
Kick off the holiday season a little differently this year! Join Fun Happenings Travel Group for an epic tour to 3 of Europe's most iconic cities during Christmas Markets as we visit Prague, Vienna & Budapest! Fun Happenings has carefully hand selected top-rated centrally located 4 and 5 star hotels in each city, so most everything will be within walking distance of our hotels.
With this custom curated itinerary, the trip is not just about the Christmas Markets, as many unique activities are included in each city. But, Fun Happenings has scheduled plenty of free time to explore each city on your own and the Christmas Markets.
In Budapest, we visit the famed food markets with a culinary walking tour, the famous Szechenyi thermal baths and a cruise down the iconic Danube River.
In Vienna, we will visit the famous Schonbrunn Palace and enjoy a Christmas Classical music concert, along with a walking tour of Old Town.
In fairytale Prague, we explore the maze-like cobbled lanes of the Old Town, the Prague Castle and enjoy a fun progressive local brewery tour while en route to our Farewell Dinner. Since we are spending 3 nights in each city (vs. a few hours, if we were on a river cruise), we have enough time to fully immerse ourselves in the local culture and enjoy each city properly.
We travel between each city by private coach, so we also experience the quaint, sleepy villages and rolling green pastures of the countryside, along with stops in Bratislava, Slovakia, and Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic.
Bratislava, the Capital of Slovakia, is famed for its unique quirky sculptures and charming old town with a relaxed vibe, great food, interesting architecture, and a less crowded experience. With visiting Slovakia, this makes it a 4-country tour.
Cesky Krumlov, in the Czech Republic, is a picturesque medieval town with a well-preserved historic center. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country.
Fun Happenings is visiting 3 of Europe’s most popular cities and experiencing these incredibly festive cities at Christmas time.... All three of these cities are decorated to the hilt for Christmas like you have never seen before! We are touring each city's top sights during the day and the evenings are mostly free to peruse the captivating Christmas Markets. You will have plenty of time to explore the streets of ancient Buda and modern Pest, sample the Viennese culinary treats and immerse yourselves in charming fairytale Prague!
