Why Dubai

Dubai works brilliantly as a short break or a family holiday: a four-hour hop from most Indian cities, with a desert on one side and a coastline on the other. Expect record-breaking towers, theme parks the children will not stop talking about, old-town abra crossings and dune drives that end with dinner under the stars.

  • Burj Khalifa observation deck
  • Evening desert safari
  • Dubai Marina yacht cruise
  • Museum of the Future
