Dubai

Take in the view from the top of the Burj Khalifa, and explore the desert in a 4X4. If the heat is too much, you can always hit the indoor skiing slopes inside the Dubai Mall, or get some tax free bargains shopping. If you want to soak up the sun, head to Jumeirah Beach or the slides of numerous water parks. By night, go from glamorous beach clubs to glitzy nightclubs. You can party till the early hours of the morning, every day of the week. Grab a Nol card to use the metro, tram, local buses and water buses. If you’re in a hurry, it’s easy to hail a taxi!
