Why this is not the retail version

A Sharjah half-day seat-in-coach tour sells at AED 120–180. It is a drive-past with twelve minutes at each stop and a mandatory carpet showroom.

This costs AED 240 and it is your team, your bus, and a guide who knows which company he is talking to. But the honest argument for this package is not the comparison — it is the calendar. It costs a department half an afternoon. No annual leave, no weekend, no ballroom booking, no budget approval cycle. It is the only thing in this catalog a manager can book on Tuesday for the following Tuesday.

Sell it as the entry point. It is what a client tries before they trust you with the gala.
