View world’s biggest shopping mall and tallest skyscraper of Dubai

Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
Home to the world’s biggest shopping mall, tallest skyscraper, and dozens of ultra-glamorous luxury hotels, Dubai is truly a modern wonder. After exploring the new sites of the city, find yourself amongst traditional winding souks and local charm.
Doha is a major cultural and political hub of the Persian Gulf and is constantly growing. Thousands of expatriates have moved to Qatar to become a part of its development and thriving economy. One of Doha’s most impressive projects is the Pearl, an artificial island that covers 985 acres.
Abu Dhabi is a bustling city with extraordinary skyscrapers, wide, tree-lined boulevards, and some of the most elite cultural destinations. This city is considered the wealthiest city in the world, but still retains a humble charm with its central souk and artisan hub for traditional crafts.
Khasab, a city within the Sultanate of Oman, is an increasingly popular tourist with tourists. Dhow cruises showcase the inspiring scenery, calm waters are ideal for diving, and dolphins are often spotted frolicking in the sea. Stunning landscapes, high mountain peaks, a picturesque coastal route and stretches of unspoiled beaches highlight the region, while manmade wonders include an old fort that dominates the harbor which, recently restored, contains examples of traditional Omani watercraft.
Ringed by volcanic mountains and guarded by two Portuguese forts, Muscat is a picturesque blend of Arab, Indian, African and European styles, thanks to the ordinance that traditional architecture must take precedence over high-rise buildings.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!

What made our Costa Rica experience great was the wonderful places we stayed and transportation to get to our different areas to visit was excellent! The white water rafting and the snorkeling & dolphin watching were really fun!

I received a quick and friendly response from my contact, Christina Mayo, both in email and phone calls. My request for information was provided in less than a day. She took a few minutes to chat about family and events. Dealing with her has always been a pleasure!

The response from Adventure Life to my first inquiry was prompt and promising. I worked with Jamie Broeckel, Trip Planner, via text, email, and phone calls- always extremely responsive and thorough with information and explaining the process to arrange a private tour for me to Malaysia Borneo. Within about week, the booking was complete and I made decisions because of Jamie's great customer service , friendly manner, and overall competence on behalf of the company's travel expertise. Now I have an itinerary, additional Trip Planner Assistants, several links for vital information for traveling to Maylasia, etc. Still many details for Sept. trip, but now the heavy lifting is done and I can enjoy the rest of the anticipation and research!! Thanks Jamie- you are amazing!!!!
