Dubai is simply a different experience. It is the most rapidly growing city in the world, and has deliberately focused on tourism as a driver of its economy. The hotels are among the best, with a range from simple to super-luxury, with many having a wonderful local atmosphere and charm. Dubai is the perfect stop-over for holidays in India and Indian Ocean destinations. The hotel choice is outstanding with many opulent resorts offering unrivalled beach, pool, dining and shopping and Spa facilities.
Among the many activities available are ice-skating and skiing, bowls, cruises and dhow charters, golf, skydiving, dune safaris, exhibitions, museums, yoga and martial arts, climbing, and ballooning. Diving and snorkelling can be arranged in nearby Oman.
