Blessed with year round good weather, beautiful beaches and azure waters, Dubai is perfect for a beach holiday. Relax on the pristine white sands of Palm Jumeirah or visit smaller emirates including Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah for a peaceful experience.
Families are well catered for on a Dubai holiday with thrilling waterparks and incredible entertainment. Be sure to check out the interactive Friday brunch at Bread Street Kitchen, Atlantis!
Dubai also makes the perfect city break with plenty to explore from enticing shopping malls, exceptional dining options and the world’s tallest building - the Burj Khalifah. Amidst glitzy skyscrapers, nightlife and spas, evidence of old Arabia can be found in atmospheric souks, Bedouin desert camps and traditional dhows on the Creek.

Whether you want to explore Dubai on a luxury beach holiday, an exciting family holiday or city break - they are the perfect people to ask.

Dubai Top Tips From Our Travel Experts
Ross Freeman
Explore the colourful souks filled with gold, textiles and spices to get a feel of 'Old Dubai'. This is also a great place to meet the locals and enjoy some Arabic coffee and dates.
Jessica Williams
Always ask your travel consultant about the 'Club rooms' in hotels. These will provide access to the club lounge usually giving you breakfast, canapes and drinks in the evening (plus other great benefits.) These are fantastic value and always a lovely place for pre dinner drinks in an exclusive part of the hotel.
Lauren McLeod
Make sure you experience the expansive beauty of the Arabian desert on a Dune Safari tour, a world away from the bright lights of the city. After a thrilling 4WD journey, watch the sun set over the spectacular ochre dunes before enjoying a barbecue dinner and traditional entertainment under the stars at an authentic Arabian camp.
