Glittering glamour and sleek sophistication await in the second largest of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Situated on the south-east coast of the Persian Gulf, Dubai has every ingredient required for a truly luxurious escape.
WORLD-CLASS LUXURY, SENSATIONAL SHOPPING, EMIRATES ADVENTURES
Marvel at the breath-taking Dubai skyline, pierced by soaring skyscrapers including the World’s tallest building, the 828-metre Burj Khalifa with its exclusive roof top observation deck. This city was built on decadence and style and it can be found in abundance at every turn. A perfectly valet-parked line of Ferraris and Lamborghinis await their owners outside the lobby of every hotel and if you want to sample the Dubai life for yourself, why not book a private city tour by supercar during your stay?
Dubai is a shopper’s dream come true and the Dubai Mall is the place to visit to have your pick of beautiful designer pieces, while there are numerous traditional souks where you can search for an authentic souvenir or locally made goods. Remember that haggling is the norm in the souks so don’t be afraid to try your luck!
When you have shopped until you are ready to drop, you can take your pick from some of the World’s most famous and exclusive hotels, including the 7 star Burj Al Arab where you can relax in your sumptuous suite and enjoy that famous and charming Middle-Eastern hospitality where your every whim will be catered to.
Foodies will rejoice at the endless selection of Michelin-starred restaurants, you can dine at the hand of some of the world’s most celebrated celebrity chefs, and every type of cuisine you can think of is waiting to be sampled.
Away from the metropolitan scene, you can escape to the glistening and warm blue waters of the Gulf. If you are a sun-worshipper who prefers to lay back and soak up the rays, you won’t be disappointed by these stunning sandy shores as you stretch out on your lounger and watch the world go by. Thrill-seekers can take part in a range of water sports, and there is even the option to catch a few waves on Sunset Beach which is Dubai’s only surfing area. Away from the turquoise waters is the option to explore the sweeping sand dunes with a desert safari or take a guided tour by camel.
No luxurious trip to Dubai would be complete without some downtime relaxing in one of the numerous blissful health spas offering every treatment imaginable.
