Early this afternoon, please be at the airport to check in to Emirates Airlines counter. Proceed through security and to the gate area. This A 380 flight is
listed as 14 hour non-stop to Dubai.
After getting down at Dubai move towards the immigration counters. Just before the immigration counters go to Emirates help desk. They will ask you to go to

At the hotel, drop your carry-on bags in the room and go to the concierge to arrange a taxi / uber to the city center and then Burj Al Khalifa. Your
reservation is at 10:00pm at the Tower – so depending on the time, you can go to the souk first.

8:00PM – 9:15PM – Dubai Creek SOUK (market) – take a taxi to the Dubai creek from your hotel. The Spice Souk is located in Deira, close to the Deira Old Souk
Abra Station and the Gold Souk. Al Ras Metro Station is just 400 yards from the souk. The souk is open every day of the week. Opening hours are 10 am to 10
pm Saturday to Thursday (closed between 1 pm and 4 pm) and 4 pm to 10 pm on Friday. Ladies dress conservatively.

9:15pm – 9:30pm – Taxi from the Dubai creek – souk markets to Burj Khalifa, which is just 10 minutes by taxi or Uber. You need to know that taxis must pick
up from taxi lines, you cannot flag them, so don’t make a mistake being in a place where no line is there. No cars will stop for you. Come out of the souk
and get in the line for a taxi. Takes a few minutes. Call Uber if you wish.

10:00pm – 11:00pm – Burj Khalifa – At the Top. Enjoy your visit to the top.

11:00pm – 11:30pm – Once again get into the taxi line or Uber and make your way to your hotel provided by Emirates. Find out how you can have some snack with
the meal voucher you have.

11:30pm / 1:30am – Showers and freshen up at your hotel. Then head to the lobby for free transport back to the airport. You need to reach there by 2:00am.

Day 3. Mon. Dubai / Cape Town.
On arrival at Cape Town airport, proceed through immigration and collect your baggage, then proceed through customs to the arrival hall where you will be
met by our private representative and loaded into a private car for the short 30 minute drive to the waterfront area and to your confirmed hotel. This Hotel
is located about 15 minutes’ walk from the waterfront where all the action is. It also has a complimentary shuttle to the waterfront. You need to head to the
Clock Tower for the ferry next door and restaurants galore at that area. The driver who brings you from the airport to the hotel will have ferry tickets. We
suggest to check in, grab a shower and take the hotel shuttle to the waterfront where you can purchase a burger / fries or similar for lunch. (The shuttle
drops you and you might still have 10 min walk.

The Clock Tower is easily visible from most of the hotels on the waterfront. This is a few minutes walk along the waterfront from where the hotel shuttle
drops you, or you may take a taxi form your hotel.

Board the ferry on your own and enjoy the 30 minute fresh air ride to the island.
Depart on a scheduled boat trip across Table Bay to Robben Island (Time is 45 minutes to 90 minutes). On arrival guests will be met by their guide – an ex-
political prisoner. You will be taken on a 45-minute bus ride with a guide providing commentary. Stop and visit the infamous Maximum Security Prison as
well as the Murray’s Bay Harbour precinct attractions, such as the Muslim shrine, or kramat, and the Museum Shop. For nearly 400 years, Robben Island, 12
kilometres from Cape Town, was a place of banishment, exile, isolation and imprisonment. It was here that rulers sent those they regarded as political
troublemakers, social outcasts and the unwanted of society. During the apartheid years Robben Island became internationally known for its institutional
brutality. The duty of those who ran the Island and its prison was to isolate opponents of apartheid and to crush their morale. Some freedom fighters spent
more than a quarter of a century in prison for their beliefs.

You will be notified of the last ferry return which is around 5:00pm or 5:30pm back to waterfront. If you wish to have an early dinner at one of the
waterfront restaurants, you could do this before you go back to your hotel.

Overnight: The Southern Sun Waterfront Hotel – (B)

Day 4. Tue. Cape Town.

Fully rested this morning, you will be met at the lobby by your private guide and set off for a full day tour of Cape Town. (Depending on clouds and weather,
the guide will determine if best to go to Table Mountain first or in the afternoon, so that you get a view of the city.

The first stop is to the base of Table Mountain where you board a cable car ride up to the top of the Mountain. Here you will have fabulous views of the city
and plains in the background (weather permitting). Some free time at the top to stroll around for various views.

The next stop is the Malay Quarter: During the era when the Cape was under the rule of the Dutch East India Company (VOC), slaves were imported in order to
provide labor in the building of the city. They were shipped in from other parts of Africa and also from Madagascar, India, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Indonesia and
South East Asia. Many were sold as personal slaves.

Next, enter the South Africa Jewish Museum. The South African Jewish Museum showcases the South African Jewish History, Jewish religion and traditions and
the role of the Jews in the struggle against apartheid. The Museum was inaugurated and officially opened by Nelson Mandela in December 2000. The brainchild
of Mendel Kaplan, the museum’s founder and one of the benefactors, the project took 4 years from planning to completion. Set in the heart of the Museum Mile,
it is a major attraction to thousands of guests.

Continue this afternoon by private car to the South Africa Museum: The Iziko South African Museum, founded in 1825 and situated in the Company’s Garden,
takes care of more than 1.5-million items of cultural and scientific significance.

Your final stop this afternoon is to the historic Castle of Good Hope. Built between 1666 and 1679 by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) as a maritime
replenishment station, the Castle of Good Hope is the oldest surviving colonial building in South Africa.
From 1678 it was the center of civilian, administrative and military life at the Cape, until the settlement grew and some functions and activities moved away
from the Castle. Today the Castle is the seat of the military in the Cape, and houses the Castle Military Museum and Iziko Museums of Cape Town (William Fehr
Collection).

At the end of the afternoon, you will have an excellent understanding of Cape Town after your full day touring.

Overnight: The Southern Sun Waterfront Hotel – (B)

Day 5. Wed. Cape Town / Cape Peninsula.

The first stop this morning is at Hout Bay, where you have a short boat ride to visit Seal Island.

Affectionately called ‘the republic of Hout Bay’ by its residents, due mainly to the limited means of access into this attractive suburb – there are only
three – Hout Bay lies just 20 minutes’ from the center of Cape Town yet has a unique and timeless beauty that makes it so popular with locals and visitors.

Hout Bay was formerly a fishing village and has managed to maintain its unique combination of fishing harbor and country atmosphere, despite development. Its
long, sandy beach faces a bay framed by mountains and is quite simply exceptionally beautiful. Capetonians throng here over weekends to partake of the local
fish & chips and to catch a glimpse of the resident Cape seals that make the harbor their home.

After a brief tour to Seal Island, re-board your coach and drive along Chapman’s Peak.

Chapman’s Peak stands imposingly at the heart of Chapman’s Peak Drive, connecting Hout Bay with Noordhoek along one of the most dramatic marine routes in the
world that hugs the coast of the Atlantic Seaboard for nine kilometers. Chapman’s Peak Drive climbs steadily from the harbor of Hout Bay, skirting 114 curves
of Chapman’s Peak to follow the rocky coastline along some truly magnificent views of the sandy bays below. The combination of steep, almost thrilling rocky
inclines, shimmering blue waters and expansive skies simply take the breath away and to compensate for this, there are a number of rest areas en route where
one can simply stop and drink in the views.

Continue to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, established in 1939 to protect 7750ha of indigenous flora and fauna. The reserve comes to an end at
majestic Cape Point. Situated at the junction of two of earth’s most contrasting water masses – the cold Benguela current on the West Coast and the warm
Agulhas current on the East Coast, the Cape of Good Hope is popularly perceived as the meeting point of the Atlantic and the Indian Oceans. You will take the
funicular to the vantage point from where you will be able to witness the “meeting of the two oceans”.

Break for Lunch (own account) at approximately 1:00pm – 2:00pm. Proceed to a typical South Africa restaurant for a seafood lunch break.

The first stop after lunch is to Boulders Beach. African penguins inhabit twenty-seven sites. Most are on inshore islands, of which the best known is Robben
Island. There are only three of them on the mainland sites. The largest existing colony is on St Croix Island near Port Elizabeth, with about 50,000 birds.
Dassen Island off Yzerfontein, once home to over a million penguins, now has about 30,000, while Dyer Island near Gansbaai has about 20,000. The most
remarkable of the mainland colonies is in Simon’s Town with over 25000 birds.

After a visit to the Penguin colony, start heading back towards Cape Town. Along the way, make your final stop at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, the oldest
and largest botanical gardens in South Africa. Left to the people of Cape Town by Cecil John Rhodes in 1902, the area comprises 528 hectares, of which 36
hectares consists of cultivated gardens. Situated on the eastern slopes of Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch Gardens contain a wide array of indigenous flora,
trees, birds and small animals. The gardens are simply beautiful, with lush rolling lawns, ambling cobbled paths and informative signposts that identify the
plants and trees you’re passing.

11:30am / 12:30pm – Chocolate and wine tasting at Waterford Estates.
