An introduction to Dubai
Dubai is a city of contrasts, where traditional culture meets modern style. Ornate mosques crouch beneath soaring skyscrapers, traditional dhow boats bob alongside luxury cruise liners, and authentic souks are just a stone’s throw away from ultra-modern shopping malls. If you want a cultural adventure, without giving up futuristic mod-cons, a holiday to Dubai should be at the top of your list.
At the edge of the desert, Dubai’s staggering skyline – featuring the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa – is easily recognisable. You’ll be familiar with a lot of the hotel names too, including the world-famous Atlantis The Palm and Burj Al Arab. Dubai boasts a diverse range of luxury hotels and resorts, all offering exceptional quality and fantastic service – but a holiday here doesn’t have to break the bank. With Netflights, you can find a Dubai holiday that suits your needs and your budget.
Things to do in Dubai
There are plenty of things to do on your Dubai holiday. With a whole host of attractions and activities on offer – ranging from gigantic water parks to 4x4 desert safaris – it’s safe to say that, in Dubai, you can always expect the unexpected.
If you want to take it easy, simple sunbathe beneath palm trees on the beach, or book a relaxing treatment in one of Dubai’s luxury spas. Browse the endless shops in the Dubai Mall, or barter for traditional souvenirs in the souks. For something more active, you can tee off on a championship golf course, sand-board down a desert dune, or go skiing at the world’s biggest indoor ski slope.
When the day’s activities tire you out, you can sip cocktails on a rooftop bar and enjoy a delicious meal in a stylish spot. You can even dine in an underwater restaurant – yep, you did read that correctly. Whatever you’re into, a holiday to Dubai has it all.
