Escape to the most glamorous of the Emirates for slick city living, with a range of hotel and board options, plus excursions to choose from

As a serious contender for the most dazzling destination of them all, Dubai is the undeniable star of the show when it comes to the Emirates. Showcasing a blend of cultures – including Asian, African and European – and architecture to rival some of the greatest on earth, Dubai won’t disappoint. Uncover this city's secrets at your own pace with an electrifying escape like no other.

This futuristic city is known the world over for being larger than life: whether for its mega-malls, skyscrapers, beach clubs, and more, everything is done on such a phenomenal scale it's sometimes hard to know where to start. We thought we'd help out by including an incredible tour of Dubai's Old Town on Day 2 of your escape. Originally a village that's grown over the years, explore the city's roots by wandering through the heart of Old Town - fragrant spice and gold souqs await, as well as a visit to Al Fahidi Fort to the National Museum. Other sites along the way include the Jumeirah Mosque, before you're taken to more modern-day wonders such as the Burj Al Arab, the most luxurious hotel in the world.

On top of this, there's a thrilling selection of optional activities that'll give you a flavour of what Dubai has to offer. Want to fly over the city in a helicopter, or venture into the desert for a safari? Check out the fabulous extras below to flesh out your escape.

Luxury and design in Dubai

Dubai is a city of superlatives: the tallest tower, the most luxurious hotel, the craziest ski slope. This incredible city has emerged from the desert as if by magic, and here dreams have no limits - just like the buildings that touch the sky. Don't miss a shopping spree in the Dubai Mall, skiing in Ski Dubai, the views from the top of the Burj Khalifa or a visit to Burj Al-Arab, a seven-star hotel that towers 320 metres high.

Dubai is also a city that can amaze you when it comes to entertainment. Visit the Artificial Lake of the Burj Khalifa to admire the spectacular fountain, have fun at the Aquaventure Waterpark, find souvenirs and spices in one of the city's souks, or stroll to the Miracle Garden, where landscapers and gardeners have let loose with their imagination to create something spectacular!
