Discover Wave: Excursions & City Tours Booking Website for the UAE
2024Discover Wave is a UAE-focused travel service offering individual and VIP excursions across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. The website was created to help travelers quickly choose a destination, filter tours by activity, and book online with a clear and trustworthy user experience. The main goal of the project was to combine an emotional, destination-driven design with a practical booking interface: users can select a city, pick an excursion type, set a date and guest count, and instantly browse curated tour options. The platform also supports quick contact via messengers, which is essential for tourists who need fast answers while planning their trip.
What has been done on the project
Homepage
The homepage was designed as a destination-first landing page with a strong visual atmosphere. A large hero image with a bold headline (“Visit Dubai”) introduces the main travel direction and sets the mood. Directly inside the first screen we placed a compact booking search form with the key parameters: destination (city), excursion type, date, number of guests, primary CTA “Search”. A short trust message is placed under the search form (“Book excursions without prepayment… pay on the spot”), reducing friction and improving conversion. The header contains clear navigation (Excursions, Destination, About, Blog, Contact) and quick-access communication icons (WhatsApp / Telegram), plus a visible phone number and language switch.
Tour Search & Booking Interface
We implemented an easy-to-understand booking flow that starts from the homepage search widget and continues into filtered tour listings. The interface uses minimal form fields and clear labels so users can complete the first step in seconds. The layout is built with generous spacing and large controls to remain comfortable both on desktop and mobile.
Trending Destinations
A dedicated “Trending destinations” block was developed to support users who prefer browsing over searching. Destinations are displayed as large cards with: a city photo, the city name (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah), a short introductory description, an indicator showing the number of available tours, CTA link “View all tours”. The section is presented in a slider format with left/right arrows, allowing easy navigation through locations.
Featured Tours (Attractions)
We created a “Featured tours” section with category tabs for major attractions (e.g., Louvre Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Ferrari World, Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah). Each tour card includes: a large image preview, location label, tour title, price “From …”, rating stars, duration (e.g., 8 hours), CTA “More Information”. The tab navigation helps users filter tours by landmark without leaving the page.
Mobile version
Excellent mobile version
We developed a fully responsive design that works equally well on tablets and smartphones of any screen size. All controls are easy to use with a finger.
We optimized image loading based on the user's device, significantly speeding up the site's performance on mobile devices.
We've implemented a special version of the tour filter for mobile devices with large controls and a simplified interface.
