Part of the United Arab Emirates or UAE, Dubai is the quintessential home of sand, sun and shopping. A century ago, it was a tranquil port of Bedouin traders and pearl divers.

Don your Gucci sunglasses and latest D&G gear - Dubai is rich, lavish and absolutely ab-fab.
Whatever your pleasure, whether romantic desert safaris, trawling the world's most opulent shopping malls or riding over sand hills on an adrenaline-charged dune-buggy tour, our itineraries cover the very best of Dubai..
