New Arabian Adventure Adds Value to Any Great Safaris Tour

(I-TravelNewswire.Com, October 09, 2014 ) GLENDALE, Cali. – Stopovers are quickly gaining attention from international travelers, giving them the chance to explore an amazing city before reaching their final destination. Many opportunities only provide a few hours or one extra day between flights, but now you can forget the airport for an extended period while on a multi-day stopover with Great Safaris. This award-winning luxury African safari tour operator is now working with Eithad Airways and Emirates to provide a four-day Arabian Adventure in Abu Dhabi before jetting off to Africa for an exciting safari.

Abu Dhabi has a vibrant cosmopolitan capital with a myriad of ancient and modern attractions. Spectacular fountains and luxuriant gardens strewn about the Manhattan-like cityscape are just begging to be explored. Discover this ever-changing metropolis on a guided tour and witness how Islamic traditions interweave with modern lifestyles of the UAE.

Guests will learn about the city’s roots, discuss traditions of the Islamic faith, admire the innovative architecture and simply marvel at the opulent urban surroundings. Observe daily life at the fruit and dates market, then see the latest attractions on Yas Island, followed by a trip to Masdar City, an arcology project and planned city designed to rely on renewable energy sources. Escape the urban environment and experience the calm island waters of Abu Dhabi onboard the capital's largest 74-foot Catamaran.

The fun won’t end there because after four days of exciting activities in Abu Dhabi, guests will now board an Eithad or Emirates flight to Africa for a once-in-a-lifetime journey with Great Safaris. Select a high-end safari from 16 countries in Southern Africa, Eastern Africa and Egypt. With more than 80 years of combined experience in the Africa tourism industry, the Great Safaris’ leadership team has created high quality, competitively priced packages customized to fit their clients’ wishes.
