Holidays to Dubai take you to a flashy city with top-notch beaches and an ever-growing list of record-breaking landmarks.
With purpose-built islands, more than 60 shopping malls and the world’s tallest building up its sleeve, it’s fair to say Dubai doesn’t do things by halves. This UAE gem’s a hit with families, sunbathers and partygoers alike. And whether it’s the paper-white beaches, coaster-crammed theme parks or swanky bars you’re after, our hotels put you right in the thick of things.
Dubai’s beaches are top-notch – think sugary sand and skyscraper views. And, when you muster up the energy to drag yourself away from your sunlounger, there’s a whole bunch of sightseeing to be done. The Burj Khalifa’s a must-see – and it towers above its lofty neighbours, so you’ll be hard pressed to miss it. Then, there’s the Dubai Fountain, with its perfectly choreographed music and lights.
When it comes to things to do, Dubai scores high marks once again. Retail therapy’s always on the cards at the massive Dubai Mall, and dhow boats at Dubai Marina are waiting to take you on swanky dinner cruises along the creek. Venture outside of the city, and you’ve got a sprawling desert within arm’s reach. So, you can add sandboarding and dune safaris to your itinerary.
Dubai lines up plenty of fun for families, too. Take theme parks like LEGOLAND® and MOTIONGATE™ for starters. They rival Orlando when it comes to thrills – think looping rollercoasters and white water raft rides. And if you fancy a break from getting the adrenaline pumping, there are massive sweet shops, minigolf courses and aquariums in the mix, too.
