Luxury Dubai Holidays
With sea and skyscrapers that glint amid the desert, Dubai is all about striking sophistication. From pristine white sand beaches to luxury malls, rolling sand dunes to traditional souks, luxury resorts to an eclectic blend of land and water sports – you will be wowed by Dubai.
Your welcome to Dubai will be a memorable one. From the sky, human-engineered islands glimmer of perfection, while radiant skyscrapers appear from the desert. Although the allure of Dubai is the ultra-modern vision and the pull of the high-luxury resorts, you’ll also find out there is another side to Dubai. The area around the Dubai Creek was once a quiet coastal settlement, a hub of life for traditional sailing shows, and a place where traders from across the Middle East would descend on to haggle and trade in the souks. To this day, you can experience the traditions from this culturally-steeped part of the world.
Wherever you stay in Dubai, you’ll doubtless end up in a hotel or resort that has been designed to impress. Some of these are on the Jumeirah Palm, the world’s largest human-created island off the coast of Jumeirah Beach, and each resort in this one-of-a-kind location offers beachside living and a riot of luxurious trimmings. Elsewhere in Dubai, there are resorts with Michelin star chefs, hotels with far-reaching views of the Arabian Gulf, and boutique retreats with vast and sumptuous spas.
While the resorts will bring you plenty of ways to while away the hours, there is plenty more to see and do in Dubai too. Cuisine is a treat here, with glossy fine dining establishments and low key eateries by the sea serving an array of international flavours and Arabic specialities. Shopping is all tax free too – and most people are tempted to spend at least a little bit of time in the malls and souks! For a little more action, a huge host of water sports, deep sea fishing and diving are available to do out on the water. On land, spend a little time horse riding, cycling, indoor skiing, rock climbing or traversing the sand dunes on a desert safari. You may also be surprised to discover that Dubai has a flourishing creative scene, which incorporates the world class Dubai Opera, live music venues and an array of art galleries.
When to visit
Dubai enjoys an incredible year-round climate of sunshine and minimal rain, meaning you can enjoy a warm escape any month of the year. The warm and pleasant winters are especially popular, with average temperatures of 25 degrees Celsius.
