A brief introduction to Dubai

A luxurious paradise brimming with glamorous architecture, upscale dining, and pristine white-sand beaches, Dubai is truly a striking urban metropolis in the heart of the United Arab Emirates.

Start your trip by admiring Dubai’s grandiose architecture, with the most famous landmark being the iconic sail-shaped Burj Al Arab. Shopping lovers will also appreciate the many retail options located throughout the city. Find local treasures at the Souk Madinat bazaar or discover more trendy items at the Dubai Mall - the largest shopping complex in the world. While here, be sure to visit the cinema, VR park, haunted house, and one of the countless restaurants serving up cuisines from around the world.

Dubai also boasts sleek rooftop terraces, shisha lounges, and cocktail bars, where you can indulge in local delicacies such as ‘luqaimat’ (hot sesame dumplings) or ‘chebab’ (pancakes topped with sour cheese and sweet date syrup).

We also recommend taking a desert safari, where you will enjoy scenic views of the rolling sand dunes of the Arabian Desert.
