Dubai

With its majestic desert kingdoms, dramatic mountain ranges and sweeping fertile plains, the Arabian Gulf offers an exotic mix of enticing destinations - including cosmopolitan Dubai. This ever-innovative land is where the ancient and modern meet between the golden sands of the desert and the warm blue waters of the Gulf, with glorious sunshine, glittering souks, soaring sky-scrapers - and, of course, a choice of world-class hotels. Championship golf, camel and horse racing, international rugby, sand skiing - or more traditional pursuits such as falconry are all here. As are sumptuous spas, designer boutiques and umpteen bars and restaurants. The more adventurous can join a 4WD desert safari; even learn how to skydive. And the prominence of the English language makes every UK visitor feel at home, while Dubai's vibrant atmosphere and constant sunshine ensure it really does take pride of place in the warm heart of Arabia.

The holy month of Ramadan is projected to commence 21 August 2009 and will continue for 30 days. The serving of food at open-air restaurants will be located in an area that is cordoned off by partitions and hotels may place temporary partitioning around open-air restaurants to enable service to be provided for clients. Service of alcohol to non-Muslims will only be permitted from 1900 - 0200 hours. Please call your reservations consultant for further details.
