From constructing the world’s tallest tower to building its first seven-star hotel, from the planet’s largest shopping mall to its greatest single flooring space (in the new airport terminal), Dubai always has to go one bigger and better!

Whether you’re playing golf on an improbably green desert course, gliding down a piste at the indoor ski centre, partying the night away, or escaping the UK chill on a warm, sandy beach, Dubai holidays are an exhilarating experience. Safe and friendly, with year-round deep blue skies, this famous city state is also a lot more affordable than you may have thought.

With a more liberal outlook than the neighbouring emirates, Dubai offers guaranteed sunshine, gorgeous beaches and spectacular opportunities for shopping, fine dining, sporting events and nightlife. It may be a relatively new holiday destination, but the tourist infrastructure here is superb, and development in recent years has taken place at an astonishing pace.
