Dubai —
It seems hard to imagine, but under Dubai’s glittering skyscrapers and monumental glamour is a history dating back to 1833, when the area around Dubai Creek was settled on by the Bani Yas tribe.
Now home to stylish beaches, grand hotels, and lavish shopping malls, Dubai is the ultimate place for a luxurious and elaborate sun-soaked getaway.
To get a taste of Dubai life before its rapid modern expansion, wander the maze of streets in the Al Bastakiya quarter, taking in sights such as original Arab architecture and the Bastakiya Museum.
Afterwards, immerse yourself in the chic surroundings of modern downtown Dubai - experience the high life at the top of the immense 830m-tall Burj Khalifa, or discover a shopping experience like no other at the Mall of Dubai, which also houses a theme park, aquarium, and a genuine Diplodocus fossil.
At the end of the day, where better to relax than on one of Dubai’s stunning beaches? Jumeirah Beach Park is the most popular, where you can laze under palm trees and gaze at the stunning skyline of the city.
Surrounded by so many exhilarating sights, you’ll never want to leave.
