A Middle-East Adventure: Dubai & Abu Dhabi

Being one of the newest major cities in the World, Dubai’s population has grown seven times faster than New York. Once a tiny fishing village harvesting pearls from the sea, it is now the most sophisticated city on the Persian Gulf. It has something for everyone and we can help you find your perfect all inclusive holiday in Dubai.
With its unprecedented luxury, combination of old and new, and it’s soaring skyscrapers, Dubai is constantly rising – literally. It’s home to the world’s tallest building, the 830-metre high Burj Khalifa, along with the (self-rated) 7-star Burj Al Arab.
But what makes Dubai such a fantastic destination is that it also offers a host of modern (even futuristic) attractions. From skiing in an outdoor ski slope at the Mall of the Emirates, enjoying Arabian Nights souks to a new development coming soon that’s a $3 billion theme park called Dubailand.
Another reason why we love Dubai is the weather. The sun blazes down all year round with temperatures ranging from a comfortable 20 Celsius in January to a sweltering 40+ Celsius in August. With only 28 days of rain a year, if you are looking to get away from the indecisive UK weather, Dubai is definitely the place to be!
The costliest thing in Dubai, in our experience, would be eating. The restaurants tend to be quite expensive, delicious, but if you are on a budget we would suggest saving your money for the abundance of attractions on offer. We’ve picked out our favourite all-inclusive hotels in Dubai to give you a helping hand with an all inclusive holiday in Dubai…
The Movenpick Hotel Jumeirah Beach is situated amidst the buzz of the prestigious Jumeirah Walk. You will be surrounded by sophistication, with world-class shops and pavement cafes just a short walk away. The hotel is located directly at the sandy beach, perfect for a spot of sunbathing in the Arabian heat. The all inclusive meal package is served at the Movenpick’s The Talk restaurant, where you can grab a bite to eat from the buffet or enjoy a meal from the A la carte menu. After you’ve refuelled, head to the poolside to relax in the private cabanas or by the pool lounge which features shisha and a chic oriental mood.
Rixos The Palm is a luxurious, five-star, beachfront hotel set on Dubai’s iconic Palm Jumeirah. You’ll enjoy panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf Coast and the sparkling Dubai Marina skyline. It is the first of its kind in Dubai to offer an ultra-all-inclusive package.

You can also take advantage of the shuttle bus to Dubai Marina Mall and the daily shuttle bus to the Mall of the Emirates.
A great choice for your all inclusive holiday in Dubai.

This was such an easy and painless way to book our trip. I spoke to Richard at YourTravel and he was able to save us £450 on business class flights to Dubai. Before speaking to him we were just going to book online as usual. But after today’s call to YourTravel and the great service, they have gained themselves a customer for life.
Our Bali holiday was the best yet. I don’t usually use agents to book my holidays but I’ve got to say that my mind has been changed. Well done YT!

My boyfriend and I travel to Jamaica to visit relatives twice a year. We didn’t expect to find prices cheaper than with Virgin directly, but Dale did just that! Fantastic.
