Three days in Dubai

There’s nothing more opulent than the promise of a three-day stopover in Dubai – the Middle East’s answer to Monte Carlo where shopping, dining and five star accommodation options are only marginally easier to come by than eternal sunshine.

If you’ve got three days in Dubai to play with, be sure to check in to the Jumeirah Zabeel Saray. This luxurious beachside resort sits proudly on the western crescent of the grandiose Palm Jumeirah and any suite worth its weight in Ottoman period hand-painted finishings will also provide a perfect view of Dubai’s magnificent skyline and the twinkling Arabian Gulf.

The lavish interior of the Jumeirah Zabeel Saray resort is littered with Turkish artworks and beautiful murals, and it definitely appealed to Tom Cruise when he was in Dubai filming Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.

Scenes from the movie actually stopped traffic when Tom Cruise scaled the exterior of the majestic Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. This towering skyscraper is fast becoming a world-class destination. If you’re not quite brave enough to visit the observation deck at the top, don’t miss the shopping, dining and entertainment options elsewhere, such as the Dubai Mall, sitting opposite but not completely in its shadow. With a cinema, an ice-skating rink and a multitude of brand names and restaurants, it’s easy to spend a whole day in this mall.

The Souk Al Bahar in Downtown Dubai is a buzzing lifestyle destination where traditional and modern architecture make for a satisfying afternoon stroll. But if you’ve got adrenaline pumping on the agenda, why not opt for some time in the surrounding sands? We can arrange a huge portfolio of adventure tours and desert safaris in Dubai with a pick up from your hotel.

If you’re after something more peaceful, take to the water for a Traditional Arabian Wooden Dhow dinner cruise and gaze at this modern metropolis from the sparkling sea. Dubai is truly a decadent stopover that will certainly give your next destination a run for its money.
