United Arab Emirates Dubai

Step forward to experience tomorrow's world today. Hit the future head-on in this sleek, sparkling, supercharged desert oasis dubbed the Las Vegas of the East. Everything about Dubai is on a hectic high: a high-tech, high rise, high-powered, highly ambitious and hell-bent on proving the impossible possible in double quick time, creating from both sand and sea a miraculous and ever expanding range of stylised satellite cities, smart spa resorts and world-beating theme attractions.

Dubai’s tax-free status means that shopping can be a bargain. Head to modern, air-conditioned shopping malls with designer boutiques or for more traditional goods visit the labyrinthine gold, jewellery and spice souks. Or why not take a trip on a traditional abra (water taxi) along the creeks that give a flavour of Dubai’s heritage. Other highlights include the Dubai World Cup held every year in March when thousands of visitors attend the world’s richest horse race and the Bastakiya district of Bur Dubai with its narrow lanes and houses with tall chimney-like structures called wind towers, provides a tantalising glimpse of old Dubai. The district also includes a museum, cultural centre, restaurants and a heritage hotel with an art gallery.

Kids stay free at selected Dubai hotels - ask for more details. All new buildings in Dubai will now be developed to "green" standards as a contribution to control climate change.

Gateway to chic hotels and spas, dramatic water sports, championship golfing, desert adventures and Bedouin feasts. Dubai is forging ahead with hotel developments like Atlantis, the Palm, 4 new golf courses and Dubailand theme park.

An ever changing country and an ideal winter sun holiday destination!
