October - May7 hoursGMT +4All ages Dubai Family HolidaysA very easy 7 hour direct flight brings you to the seven Emirates of the
United Arab Emirates. Here, the second largest,
Dubai, embraces a wide variety of scenery in a very small area. In a single day you can experience everything from rugged mountains and awe-inspiring sand dunes to sandy beaches and lush green parks, from dusty villages to luxurious residential districts and from ancient houses with wind towers to ultra-modern shopping malls.
But these contrasts give Dubai its unique flavour and personality; a cosmopolitan society with an international lifestyle, yet with a culture deeply rooted in the Islamic traditions of Arabia.
With its guaranteed sunshine, endless beaches, a wide range of hotels and just about every entertainment known to man, Dubai has become the quintessential family holiday destination.
