Take advantage of our specially
negotiated savings which include
airfare, superior hotels and more
in this value-packed price!

Dear Mizzou Alumni and Friends,
Somewhere between an Arabian fantasy of souks, spices and gold, and a futuristic metropolis
that spreads into the sea, you’ll find the heart of one of the most intriguing places on earth.
Go where abstract skyscrapers glitter in the sun, the shopping is magnificent, the golf courses
are first-class, and the beaches are stunning. The road out of Dubai leads to the stark beauty
of the desert with its wild grasses, oases and ancient caravan trails.
The United Arab Emirates is a magic brew of old and new, a dramatic contrast of
modernistic architecture and traditional camel markets, bustling souks and glamorous
shopping malls, small fishing villages and the largest man-made harbor in the world.
This is truly a trip to another world - exotic, gorgeous, fascinating.
Go Next will take care of all the travel details; you just relax and decide what you want
each day to bring. The optional excursions offer something enticing every day, or you may
want time to take in the local flavor on your own. You can create the trip you’ve always
dreamed of.

Go where the future meets the
United Arab Emirates
Nestled between the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean, the United Arab
Emirates has a history that spans 5,000 years and a future that seems already here.
The country offers an alluring mix of Bedouin and Western cultures, and with its
warm climate, beaches, coral reefs, and stunning man-made islands it has become
one of the world’s top tourist destinations.
Dubai
Once a sleepy desert town home to pearl fishermen and Persian traders, Dubai is
now a modern wonderland of fantasy architecture, glamorous shopping malls, and
first-class golf courses. Yet much of its old charm remains. Follow the Dubai Creek
and find a whirlwind of colors, sounds, flavors, and aromas amid ancient souks
(covered markets). Immerse yourself in textiles, crafts, spices, gold and pearls;
Dubai is a shopper’s paradise. Follow narrow winding alleys to vibrant art galleries,
impressive mosques, and scenic parks. Dubai is truly a sparkling oasis on the sands.

Burj Al Arab, one of the world’s most luxurious hotels, and the modern palaces

architecture. Breathe in the aroma of old Dubai as you walk
alleys laden with spice souks and end up at the modern
gold souk. Here you’ll see some of the finest and
purest gold on earth. Continue to the distinctive
Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club for an
