The spectacular skyscrapers and extravagant hotels of Dubai stand out for miles around in this desert paradise, with the huge Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, acting as the centrepiece.

The Burj is a must-visit when in Dubai, and if you make it up to the 452-metre high observation platform, you’ll be rewarded with great views over the surrounding area.

If you’d rather enjoy this marvel of modern architecture from the safety of the ground, you can chill out around the manmade lake at its foot and enjoy the water and light displays that take place at the world’s largest water fountain just outside the building.

You’ll also find the world’s largest shopping centre, the Dubai Mall in Downtown Dubai, which was visited by an incredible 92 million people in 2015, sprawls over an area of more than 13 million square feet, and is home to an aquarium, ice rink, cinema, hotel, 120 restaurants and cafés and an indoor theme park, and that’s before you even get to the shops!

The city is also home to some great restaurants, no matter what budget you’re on, or what you’re in the mood for.

The city’s many high-end hotels are all home to their own restaurants, many of which are Michelin starred.

If you fancy something a bit easier on the wallet, there are plenty of great budget friendly eateries on the Al Dhiyafah road.

Finally, there are plenty of great beaches in the city, whether it be the man made Palm Islands or Palm Jumeirah, or the more traditional ones such as the Jumeirah Beach.

We are proud to offer first class flights and business class flights to Dubai as well as economy.
