Dubai has reinvented itself from a pearling town into one of the most striking cities in the world in a single generation, and this short break takes in the best of it. In five days you go up the Burj Khalifa, wander the gold and spice souks of old Deira, ride a 4×4 over the dunes for a desert-camp dinner, and still have time on the beach.
It works as a stopover on the way to or from Africa or Asia, as a winter-sun long weekend, or as a family trip. The city is safe, easy to get around, and full of things for children to do. International flights are not included, so we can build the trip around the routing that suits you.
