As a serious contender for the most dazzling destination of them all, Dubai is the undeniable star of the show when it comes to the United Arab Emirates. Showcasing a blend of cultures – including Asian, African, and European – and architecture to rival some of the greatest on earth, Dubai won’t disappoint.
At Secret Escapes, we’ve curated a selection of
hotels and
package holidays that showcase the best of what Dubai has to offer, from five-star palatial pads to luxury beachside resorts.
What to Do in Dubai?
Thanks to vigorous investment and reinvention, this futuristic hub makes for a dream
honeymoon for couples wanting to indulge in the luxury of
5-star hotels or a longer
city break for the discerning traveller. Dubai offers diverse experiences, from the panoramic views atop the Burj Khalifa and the spectacular Dubai Fountain shows to the luxury hotels and dining on the man-made Palm Jumeirah. The historic Dubai Creek provides a contrast with its traditional gold and spice souqs. For nature and adventure, visitors can enjoy off-road safaris in the Arabian Desert or marvel at the 150 million flowers arranged in elaborate sculptures at the enormous Dubai Miracle Garden.
When’s the Best Time to Travel to Dubai?
We’d say the best time to visit Dubai is between October and January, when the weather starts to get cooler but before the heavy rainfall. There’s also plenty to do at this time of year, with events such as the Dubai Shopping Festival taking place, usually running from mid-December to late January.
