Luxurious Dubai continues to grow and develop at a breathtaking pace. The city is best known for its incredible skyscrapers, the most famous the iconic, 7-star-rated Burj Al-Arab luxury hotel, situated on its very own artificial island. The stunning architectural feats are on display throughout the city – including the famous Burj Khalifa and the recently opened, world’s tallest observation wheel Ain Dubai. 

Dubai invites you to spend time in its gorgeous beachfront deluxe hotels and waterfront promenades where you can witness the glittering city lights reflecting in the Dubai Marina.  

The Old Town offers something for history lovers and is a refreshing change to shiny glass skyscrapers. Here you can stroll the narrow, cobbled streets in tranquillity and learn about the history of the city with a local tour guide. 

The surrounding deserts host immaculate golf courses, and the city has several theme parks that offer a unique blend of Eastern and Western culture: from Bollywood Park to Legoland Dubai there is something for everyone to discover.  

The capital, Abu Dhabi, is only a 1h 30min drive away, should you want to have a day trip and visit Abu Dhabi Louvre, Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, or some of the gorgeous white sand beaches, such as Soul Beach. 

Dubai has earned a reputation for being a shopper’s dream: over 70 shopping centres are spread throughout the city, and each is filled with the most prestigious luxury brands, as well as more affordable choices. If you’re looking for an alternative to these Western shopping paradises, try out the traditional souks, where you can find anything from silk rugs to spices and gold jewellery. 

Visit this lavish, pampering city to forget ordinary life and soak up the splendour.
