$0.00
per item
Highlights:
Imagine Las Vegas, a wide variety of dining options and shops, plus beaches, crystal clear water and an ancient culture of Bedouin hospitality.
This is Dubai, one of seven Emirates that make up the UAE all within driving distance of each other. Abu Dhabi has the oil, but Dubai has the Panache, the world’s tallest building - an indoor ski slope with chair lift, real snow and a chalet serving hot chocolate. An hour’s drive and you are in a peaceful desert where Oryx roam and you sleep in a desert tent with your own private plunge pool. Enjoy it all.
