Why you'll love it
Dubai is a desert city on the Persian Gulf, known for record-breaking architecture, luxury hotels and beaches. It gets Triptakeo's top score for luxury and 9 out of 10 for safety, and scores 8 for families, so it works as a stopover, a family holiday or a short luxury break.
The best time to visit Dubai is November to March, when days are warm and sunny rather than extremely hot. Summer temperatures are very high, so most activities move indoors.
Go to the top of the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, and watch the Dubai Fountain at night. Explore the old Al Fahidi district and cross Dubai Creek by abra boat to the gold and spice souks. A desert safari with dune driving is a popular half-day trip, and Jumeirah Beach is good for swimming.
Dubai suits families, couples and stopover travellers.
