Find the things worth doing, book them in seconds, and keep the whole trip in one place. Dubai and wherever you are going next: desert safaris at golden hour, boat trips along the Marina, museums and landmarks, food worth crossing the city for, theme parks, water sports and days out. A CURATED COLLECTION, NOT AN ENDLESS LIST Every experience is chosen, never scraped. Real availability, real prices, tax included where it applies. No booking fee and no card surcharge. Pay by card or Apple Pay. YOUR WHOLE TRIP, DAY BY DAY Trips lays your week out as it happens: check-in, transfers and everything you have booked, each on the day it falls. Fill the empty days in between, and keep what you are still deciding on beside what is already confirmed. BOOK STRAIGHT FROM YOUR ITINERARY Add an experience to a day, then book it without leaving the trip. It moves to Booked the moment it is confirmed, with the voucher already attached. BOOKED THROUGH A TRAVEL AGENT? Scan the code your agent sends you and their itinerary appears in your Trips: the stay, the transfers and the experiences they arranged, with references, meeting points and times. WHAT YOU NEED ON THE DAY Every booking carries its own voucher and reference. Meeting point, start time, what is included and what to bring sit on the booking itself, not in an email you have to go and find. SAVE FOR LATER Anything you like goes to Saved in one tap, with or without an account. SIGN IN ONLY IF YOU WANT TO Browse, search and save without signing in. Sign in with Apple or Google when you want your bookings and trips on every device. There is no password to invent or remember.
