After floating sky-high, they enjoyed a breakfast with giraffes at Emirates Park Zoo – a unique start to the day that’s hard to top. And let’s not forget the sunrise kayak through serene mangroves, a beachside chill at Café del Mar, and a traditional Emirati breakfast at Abdulrahman Al Zaabi’s home.
