Dubai: Journey to the future in the middle of the desert

Located in the United Arab Emirates, Dubai is the ideal destination for those who want to enjoy the sun all year round. You will find yourself in a universe of contrasts in just 7 hours of flight from the UK and with only 2 hours of jet lag. From the desert to the sea, from the modern city with its skyscrapers and futuristic landscapes to the old city with its souks, houses and typical boats, Dubai has something for everyone and the change of scenery is incredible.

A trip to Dubai is an exhilarating experience for families, couples and adventurers alike. The city is full of surprises and attractions. What could be better than a buggy or quad ride through the red sand dunes of the desert? You can also appreciate the vastness of the desert by taking to the skies in a hot air balloon. Flying over the city is also an essential part of a trip to the United Arab Emirates. Helicopter flights are organised and give you an unobstructed view of all the dizzying buildings. One thing is for sure, there is no shortage of activities for thrill seekers!

For a quieter stay, fill up on cultural activities. Dubai has many museums. They allow us to understand the development of this gigantic city, which was just a fishing village a few decades ago. You can also learn more about the lives of Dubai's people. As a couple, take a cruise on a dhow, a traditional boat, and watch the scenery pass by while enjoying dinner and a show. And for something a little more romantic, head to the 152nd floor of the Burj Khalifa for a stunning view of the city as you sip a cocktail and watch the sun set.

The destination is perfect for families. There is something for children in every activity. Take a break from shopping at Dubai Mall and visit the ice rink at the world's largest mall - the kids will love it and the parents can join in too! If you feel the heat, take the kids to the world's largest water park. Ride down the river in a buoy, have fun on one hundred slides and swim with dolphins. An unforgettable experience for the kids and peace of mind for the parents as the park is supervised by many lifeguards.
