Overview

Why go to Dubai & Abu Dhabi

Dubai is made for short, easy holidays: the view from the Burj Khalifa, the old souks along the Creek, enormous malls and an evening in the desert with dune bashing, a camel ride and dinner under the stars.

An hour and a half away, Abu Dhabi adds the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the Louvre Abu Dhabi and the theme parks of Yas Island.
