At The Top'
Burj Khalifa For a fabulous 360º bird's eye view of the magnificent city of Dubai, come with us to the top of the Burj Khalifa, the world's largest tower. Gaze across the Gulf Coast towards the Arabian Desert and take in the sunset during the early evening. The tower is connected to the Dubai Mall, where you can shop 'til you drop.

Dhow Dinner Cruise
Sample a gentler side of Dubai with a relaxing dinner cruise. As you enjoy some of the area's finest cuisine, your backdrop for the evening is the unrivalled splendour of the Dubai skyline.

Dubai Desert Safari
Speed through the golden sands of the Dubai desert and bathe in the spectacular glow of an Arabian sunset. Hop onto a camel near a Bedouin camp before enjoying a barbecue whilst sitting on traditional rugs, entertained by belly dancers. And count the stars - you'll hardly see as clear a sky again.

The climate in Dubai.

Dubai is based in the heart of the Middle East so you can expect high temperatures, long hot days of sunshine and very little rainfall.
