Onwards to the Maldives to settle into your 5-star private island resort. Enjoy a refined atmosphere with a spontaneous approach to events, with pop-up movie screenings and parties on the beach.

Day 1

Arrive in the United Arab Emirates

On arrival at the airport in Dubai, meet Goway's local representative and transfer to your desert resort. 

The UAE is made up of seven Emirates on the eastern seaboard of the Arabian Peninsula and is a destination which will surprise you. It is very safe and quite easy to access compared to most of the surrounding countries. The country is mainly a desert, but cultivation and enterprise have greened a good portion of it. In the hinterland, you will even find waterfalls and freshwater lakes.

The balance of the day is at leisure to relax and enjoy the resort's facilities.
