Tailor-made Dubai journeys, designed around you

Dubai is a destination like no other! Ultra-modern and fast paced the Emirate city is renowned for its luxury and outstanding attractions. Soaring skyscrapers, the fabled Dubai Mall, dazzling man-made palm fringed islands, thrilling theme parks, adventure zones – the list is endless. And, don’t forget the mouth-watering selection of restaurants and cafes offering traditional cuisine – with a twist – or favourite international tastes. Then, as dusk falls, the superb nightlife kicks.

The sights and sounds of modern Dubai are simply outstanding. However, behind all the glitz there’s a traditional side of Dubai. See the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding, and learn about the local traditions and customs, visit the serene Jumeirah Mosque and, of course, browse in the Gold Souk! Finally, don’t forget a traditional Abra boat ride in Deira Creek.

For a change of pace after pulsating Dubai, visit the enclave of Hatta, 115km from the city. This restored ancient village is ideal as a base for trekking, horse riding, mountain biking and kayaking around the dam. It’s a great place to spend a few days.

The choice of hotel is overwhelming. Dubai can offer seven-star luxury and excellent hotels to suit your budget! However, one thing’s for sure – wherever you go in Dubai everlasting memories will be made!
