Glitz and Glamour - Dubai at its finest

Dubai

If you're looking for guaranteed sunshine, superior hotels and oodles of shopping then Dubai is the quintessential home of all. One of the seven Emirates, Dubai has come a very long way from its Bedouin roots, today being a major tourist destination and an international financial hub to boot.

The best time of year to visit this fascinating city is between November and April when the weather is at its coolest. At any other time of year, you'll find yourself running to the nearest air-conditioned environment as it's just too hot and humid.

Hotels and restaurants are probably the best in the world and are all of top quality. And to find the very best of the best you need to be on Jumeirah. This strip of coastline has some of most amazing, architectural structures ever built from the sky piercing Burj al Arab to the "wave" shaped Jumeirah Beach Hotel. Facilities and service within the hotels are excellent, all staff speak practically perfect English and they really cannot do enough for you. Sunbathing is a pleasure when you have pool attendants offering you a cool melon spear or iced water spritz. Not to mention the attendant whose solitary purpose in life is to make sure your sunglasses are cleaned to perfection, free from greasy sun cream.

The recent addition of the Madinat Jumeirah has brought an extra dimension to the Jumeirah area with a fantastic souk filled with Middle Eastern fare ranging from rugs and traditional furniture as well the designer labels at duty free prices you'd expect to see in this shopping haven. The nightlife has also been improved with new restaurants and bars which buzz with activity long into the evening. The infamous cocktails at Trader Viks are a must before dinner.

Couples and families alike are well catered for, there are great Kid's Clubs and childcare facilities in all the hotels not to mention the amazing Wild Wadi Waterpark - not just for the kids we might add ! Rides, slides and water features galore fill the area which is free to all Jumeirah International guests.

So to recap if your holiday idea revolves around sun, relaxation, fine food and wine, excellent service, superb hotels and something to keep all entertained, then Dubai is definitely the place for you. There are many hotels to choose from, however when you call us we can match your requirements to the ideal venue.
