It’s been hailed as the Las Vegas of the Middle East thanks to its ultra-luxurious resorts, next-level bars and incredible wealth, but the truth is Dubai is a city beyond compare. Everything Dubai does, it does bigger and better than the rest of the world, so it’s little surprise that it holds the title for the world’s tallest building (the Burj Khalifa), the highest restaurant, the world’s largest shopping mall, aka Dubai Mall, and the world's fastest roller coaster, to name just a few. Even the very notion of luxury is in a league of its own in Dubai, making it the perfect destination for a truly glamorous city break. Our Dubai holiday packages are the ideal way to make the most of your Middle East adventure, whether it’s a family friendly vacation involving futuristic theme parks such as the not-so-lost Atlantis or a lavish getaway that has you and yours skipping from beach to bar at one of Dubai’s ultra-luxurious beach resorts. Of course, no trip to Dubai is complete without a pit stop at the magnificent Palm Jumeirah, Dubai’s famous tree-shaped island. If budget really is no object, be sure to visit the Burj Al Arab, Dubai’s iconic 7-star hotel that’s plastered in gold leaf and boasts its own fleet of Rolls Royces. The jewel in the Middle East’s crown, Dubai is a place every traveller should experience at least once in their lifetime.
