Dubai

At the cutting edge of the modern world, Dubai is a fast paced and highly stylised urban centre with world-class hotels, events, sports and leisure activities; it is hard to imagine that it was once a town for pearl fishermen.

Looking out over the mesmerising Arabian Gulf, this centre for technological and architectural innovation has revolutionised the hospitality sector and is a pioneer for a multitude of new and exciting concepts. You will find an array of Arabic cuisine and cultures in Dubai, with Moroccan, Egyptian, Tunisian and Lebanese influences throughout. Glamorous, yet conveying an enchanting eastern mystery, the hotels here are sophisticated, regal and offer some of the highest standards of service in the world. Step into Dubai Opera, the city’s latest architectural masterpiece, be blown away by the Michelin-star fine dining, visit exhilarating waterparks, play on championship golf courses, enjoy year-round sunshine, or even take to the indoor ski slopes. Watersports are also catered for and contrast to the host of desert-based activities that are available. From authentic gold souks and spice markets, camel racing and Bedouin-style tented resorts, to contemporary high rise towers, underwater restaurants and designer shopping malls, Dubai is vibrant, buzzing and an ultra modern city.
