Dubai is a stirring alchemy of profound traditions and ambitious futuristic vision wrapped into starkly evocative desert splendour. Steeped in gilded tales of romance, desert adventures and architectural brilliance, where honeymooners dine on fragrant cuisines, families surf the skies in hot air balloons and shoppers get lost in a shining metropolis of luxury malls. Take a walk in the clouds on Burj Khalifa’s viewing deck. Savour aromatic cuisines and sip traditional Arabic tea at luxurious Atlantis, The Palm hotel. Middle East holiday packages take you from the city to the desert to experience 4x4 thrills, camel rides and Bedouin experiences on the rolling sea of golden dunes.
