Day 1
26/06/2026
Arrive and exhale in Dubai — Al Fahidi quarter

Focus: Arrival & settle Day notes: If jetlag hits, take a short nap (30–45 mins max) so sleep stays intact. Aim to reach the stay before dark; pick up essentials nearby (water/snacks). Anchor: Dubai. Keep the pace gentle—one good moment beats ten rushed ones. Trip notes: Keeping this plan intentionally unhurried—one meaningful highlight per day and plenty of buffer. If something feels rushed, we’ll skip it. The goal is to come back rested, not exhausted.
