The Amalfi Coast: Positano, Amalfi and Ravello - Private Tour
Soak up the atmosphere like an insider and discover the history and fun facts of Positano, Amalfi and Ravello. Thanks to the beauty of its landscapes, Positano has been a touristic destination since the period of the Roman Empire. Nowadays it offers an ideal scenery for those who want to discover the suggestive lanes and shores of Salerno’s Bay, relax in a cafè on the beach or visiting the Art Galleries hidden in the narrow streets wrapping the town. The Ancient Maritime Republic of Amalfi is now an UNESCO World Heritage Site. You could visit the marvelous Cathedral of Sant’Andrea which stands superbly on the top of a great flight of steps leading up from the main square, the historical city centre and the breathtaking abbeys. At the end of the day there will be a stop in Ravello where you will have the chance to visit the dazzling Villa Rufolo, a favorite destination of musicians, artists and poets, praised in the verses of Boccaccio and in Richard Wagner’s Parsifal.

Vatican Tour and Ancient Rome with Lunch
See some of the most famous pieces of art collected by the popes through the centuries as you explore the most important rooms of the Vatican museums and the Sistine Chapel with your expert and passionate guide. Visit the wide ranging collection of archaeological finds, sculptures and artworks whose origins lie in the 16th century sculptures collected by Pope Julius II. See the collection of beautiful 15th to 17th century tapestries in the Gallery of Tapestries, examples of artistic and cultural history from some of the world’s most influential civilizations and a fascinating collection of modern and contemporary religious art. Move on to the Sistine Chapel, named after Pope Sixtus IV, to see the wonderful frescoes and the chapel ceiling, considered to be Michelangelo’s finest work. Complete the tour with a visit to Ancient Rome, to see some of the city’s world renowned archaeological marvels including the Colosseum, the Roman Empire’s largest – and perhaps the bloodiest! - amphitheatre. Admire the splendid triumphal Arch of Constantine, climb the Palatine hill and walk on the via Sacra or Sacred Way, one of the main streets of ancient Rome and the setting for some of her greatest triumphs as well as scenes from everyday Roman life.

Heritage Safari by Vintage G Class & Al Marmoom Bedouin Experience
Have you ever been to an unfenced desert reserve in Dubai? A 45 minute drive from Dubai in a modern air-conditioned vehicle will transfer us to Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve. Upon arriving, we hop on to the Vintage G Class Mercedes 1980s from our modern vehicle, enjoying a soft ride across the fascinating dunes. During the ride, admiring the vast dunes, we halt amidst the desert to enjoy a photo stop observing the National Tree of UAE- Al Ghaf, a drought-tolerant evergreen tree, and medicinal herbs and plants such as Al Ashkhar. Take advantage of this opportunity, listening to the delightful stories of Dubai, the history, and the importance of desert plants in the old Bedouin lifestyle. While exploring the desert holding on to the rods in our open car, consider yourself lucky to witness wild animals like Arabian Oryx, Ghazals, Falcon, and even other birds. As we reach the authentic Bedouin Village nearing sunset, experience the traditional Emirati welcome with Arabic coffee, luqaimat, and dates after which we visit the underground cooking station, witness the preparations. Riding the traditional camel caravan into the middle of nowhere, experience a magnificent sunset. Hop off the camel with the carpet provided by us and get seated to witness the sunset falcon show. Take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime chance to learn about the importance of falconry in Dubai while admiring the UAE's National Bird in flight. Arriving at the Bedouin Village after sunset, constructed with natural materials like goat hair, located in the heart of the desert oasis in Al Marmoom Conservation Reserve, we sit down to enjoy a traditional Emirati 3 Course meal starting with an appetizer followed by the main course and finished with a dessert. Learn about the spices and handcrafts used by the bedouins to sustain life; engage in activities like Henna tattoo, Arabian makeover and witness the ladies making luqaimat, the man roasting coffee, and more while listening to their true-life stories enjoying soft drinks.
