Start your Journey
Dubai
There is plenty to see when you visit the magical metropolis that is the city of Dubai.
The two most important items on your itinerary should be a visit to the Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall. The Burj Khalifa stands at approximately 2,720 feet and promises spectacular views of the extensive cityscape below. The Dubai Mall is home to over 1,300 retail stores and 200 restaurants, cafés and eateries for the ultimate in shopping and entertainment for the whole family.
A holiday in Dubai wouldn’t be the same without immersing yourself in the desert landscape around you. So, be sure to hire a Jeep and head out for a bumpy, scenic ride across the dusty dunes. The best time to do this is at sunset. Take the time to pause and savour the majesty of the expansive starry night sky above before heading back to the city.
Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi allows you to enjoy a halt in pace and a closer look at the local art and culture.
One of the highlights of your visit to Abu Dhabi is sure to be a trip to the city’s new Louvre art and civilisation museum, which was officially inaugurated at the end of 2017. The museum is the largest art museum in the Arabian Peninsula and focuses on bridging the gap between art from the East and art from the West. Another must is a visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. The Mosque is a significant place of worship for locals and one of the biggest in the UAE.
After a dose of culture, soak up the sunshine on Saadiyaat Island. Take a leisurely dip in its ice blue waters, which peacefully lap at the island’s golden sandy shores.
