December 16-22, 2023
Dubai, the ‘City of Gold’, is one of the most culturally diverse and over-the-top cities in the world. From record-breaking architecture and stunning coastlines to award-winning cuisine and exclusive attractions, it’s easy to see why this is the perfect place to experience a mix of cosmopolitan city with local culture. Join WTA to immerse yourself into the true Dubai experience: discover the city skyline by yacht, unleash your senses amidst the Old Souk spice market, and create unforgettable memories adventuring through the Arabian Desert. What are you waiting for?!
Note: We recommend leaving the US on December 14 or 15 (some flights take longer than 24hr) so that your flight arrives the morning of December 16 – early enough to participate in Day 1’s activities. Should you wish to arrive on December 15 instead, pre-trip hotel charges will be added to your final bill.
