Holidays in Dubai

Dubai is without a doubt the world's leading, most awe-inspiring holiday destination when it comes to glamorous venues, eye-popping attractions, fashionable outlets, edgy technological and architectural breakthroughs, extreme levels of opulence and indulgence, amazing shopping opportunities and as unique once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
It is the place to be wowed, inspired and amazed for all the right reasons. In Dubai there's something for everyone in every age group, and all of it in good measure too. Whether you're looking to be entertained, relaxed, pampered, indulged, or, all of these things at once; Dubai will certainly sweep you off your feet.

Activities on offer in Dubai

Every aspect of Dubai seems to be designed to give you an unforgettable experience with your family. See dolphins playing at Dolphin Bay, visit The Lost Chambers at Atlantis, The Palm, take the family to the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, or take in the awe-inspiring views from the top of the Burj Khalifa Tower – the world's tallest building.

Peace and quiet

Located just south of Dubai, Al Maha is a sanctuary of beauty, tranquillity and peace where you can experience spectacular desert sunsets, glorious starlit nights and a variety of desert adventures. For a peaceful, cultural experience, try Fujairah's unique blend of palm-fringed beaches and an authentic experience of the Arab world.
 

Dubai for couples

Dubai is a popular honeymoon destination in its own right with a large number of attractions to seduce every kind of couple, but it also makes the perfect treat for a quick stopover on your way home from a romantic getaway.
 

Romantic couples

Take your partner to one of the most decadent and indulgent resorts and spas on earth. Dubai's level of luxury and attention to detail makes it the perfect place to spend a romantic holiday, whether it's a quick break or a couple of weeks.
As one of the more tolerant Middle Eastern countries, the dress code in the city is relaxed, but passionate public displays of affection may be frowned upon. Holding hands is absolutely fine but public kissing and hugging may be considered an offence against public decency – so honeymooners beware and save it for the hotel room! There's zero tolerance in Dubai for the use of drugs and disruptive drunken behaviour on the street, so don't be caught behaving badly if you want your holiday to be one to remember for the right reasons.
On the other hand, Dubai can be extremely romantic, with its glittering nights, beautiful man-made beaches and pampering hotels. 
 

Fun-loving couples

After a day of watersports, desert safaris and sand boarding, the party districts of Jumeirah and Al Barsha in New Dubai as well as Bur Dubai and Deira in the old city beckon. Or visit Dubai Marina where there are over 40 bars to choose from and enjoy a good round of cocktails under the stars.
