Dubai

Dubai is one of those places that has to be seen to be believed. A sprawling metropolis, in the middle of the desert. It’s the towering skyscrapers and the plethora of luxury supercars that you see first but take a closer look and you’ll find a rich history, delicious food and a charming culture. A Dubai city break offers plenty of time to discover all that this incredible place has to offer. With plenty of exclusive hotels to choose from, it’s also the perfect setting for a luxury holiday.

There’s not enough space here to describe everything a trip to Dubai can involve. You can head out into the desert on safari. You can shop until you drop. Yes, you can even go skiing. Watch a camel race, enjoy a spot of beach volleyball or ride to the top of the 160-story behemoth that is Burj Khalifa. You get the idea.

Dubai hides a more cultural side too. The historic Al Fahidi neighbourhood gives you a glimpse into what life was like before the discovery of oil. Narrow, twisted pathways and buildings made of stone and wood offer a mesmerizing contrast to the towers of glass and steel all around you. And as the only mosque in the city that is open to non-Muslim travellers, the beautiful Jumeirah Mosque is certainly worth a visit.

A city of contrast and riches, there is nowhere else quite like it. A trip to Dubai excites the senses and dazzles the mind.
