Overview

Skylines, souks & sand dunes.

Dubai mixes record-breaking architecture with old-world souks and the open desert. See the city from the Burj Khalifa, watch the Dubai Fountain, cruise the Marina on a dhow and ride the dunes on a desert safari.

A day trip to Abu Dhabi adds the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. The cooler months from November to March are the most comfortable time to visit.
