I love Dubai. It is such a vibrant fun city offering so much for families, couples and single travellers.

I travelled with my family on a few occasions staying at the amazing Atlantis the Palm and twining it with a hotel outside of Dubai to give an extension and add a little beach staying at the Meridien Al Aqua Beach Hotel set on its own beach on an All inclusive basis..

Dubai has one of the world's tallest buildings, the world's biggest shopping mall and the world's biggest choreographed fountain, Dubai's city offers Glamorous hotels on purpose-built islands and expensive yachts and fast cars are combined with more traditional sights, like spice-scented souks and Dhow boats . There are so many  different luxury hotels to choose from naming a few , like the Grand Hyatt, Anantara the Palm and Wyndham Dubai Marina, Jumeirah Zabeel Saray hotel and of course the 6 star Hotel Burj al Arab.

Dubai is a great family holiday as they offer The Motiongate and Legoland parks, and there are aquariums, themed mini-golf and a stay at Atlantis will give you plenty of outdoor water fun for adults and children.

You can do many different excursions and even ride camels in the desert and take a jeep through the sand dune. Weather in Dubai is hot all year round making it an ideal holiday destination for winter sun.
