Ramadan 27 May-25 Jun 17
Although it is a month of fasting and reflection for the Islamic world, the daily Iftar
(breaking of fast) at sunset is a celebration, with bigger hotels often putting on lavish
spreads with entertainment for all. Holiday-makers during this time will benefit from
Ramadan discounts on offer by the hotels and throughout the shopping malls.
Important Info: Non-muslims are not expected to fast during Ramadan, however they
should respect the holy month and refrain from eating and drinking in public. During
the day hotels will open at least one restaurant but alcohol will not be served until
after sunset, this can also affect some inclusions on selected tours e.g. Sundowner
Dune Dinner Safari. Ramadan dates are dependent on the sighting of the new moon,
actual dates are not confirmed until closer to the time.

Dubai is the land of never-ending
entertainment – you won’t get bored
in this Emirate.
Head to The Dubai Mall because
this is where you’ll find a different
activity for every hour of the day.
SEGA Republic Indoor theme park
is always a big hit with kids due to
its mix of rides and arcade games.
Those missing cooler climates will
appreciate the Olympic sized ski
rink, complete with skating lessons
and indoor snowfall. If that’s not
enough sub-zero fun for you,
head to Ski Dubai, in the Mall of
the Emirates. With 22,500 square
metres of indoor ski terrain, five
slopes and toboggan runs, you’ll
get to throw snowballs and even
explore an ice cave.
For the motorsport enthusiasts head
to Abu Dhabi's Ferrari World; the
first Ferrari-branded theme park on
the planet.
If you’re a water baby you’d be a fool
not to visit Atlantis on The Palm. Not
solely a hotel complex, here you’ll
find the ever popular Aquaventure
Waterpark and Aquaventure Beach,
1.4km of pristine sand and two
immaculate swimming pools. There
are numerous waterslides, a 1.6km
river ride, wave generator and
family friendly snorkelling.
For water experiences that don’t
require togs, experience the jaw
dropping Dubai Fountain on the
30-acre Burj Lake, it’s the world’s
tallest performing fountain. Or
you could take a plane over ‘The
world’ – a manmade archipelago
comprising 300 islands in the shape
of the earth’s continents. Still a work
in progress, it’s best to view this one
from the air.
To escape the Abu Dhabi heat, head
to Yas Waterworld. Enjoy hair-
raising waterslides, or simply wade
in the cooling pools.

6 TIPSfor your
Dubai & Abu
Dhabi Holiday
As the shopping mecca of the world,
the Emirate’s favourite pastime is
easy to partake in. Dubai’s duty free
shopping is also a perk.
Malls aren’t just shops, they’re the
go-to for all day activities. Albeit
not the largest (that’s Dubai Mall),
the infamous Mall of the Emirates
is better described as a resort, with
466 stores, a 14 screen cinema,
theme park and ski slope.
There are souqs for every type of
forager, from gold to spices, and the
experience is unmissable.
Abu Dhabi also has its own handful
of shiny and immaculate malls,
which all provide respite from the
desert heat.
And for the ultimate in retail
therapy, enhance your shopping
experience with a Dubai shopping
tour – organised and fuss-free.

7. 3
The rule of thumb in the UAE is that
when something’s first built, it's big,
then someone else comes along and
builds an even bigger masterpiece.
Such levels of competition result
in mega structures and daring
skyscrapers. Buildings such as the
Burj Khalifa and the Burj Al Arab
have been defining Dubai’s world
famous skyline for decades; a
spectacle whether you’re seeing it
for the first time or the fiftieth.
From Dubai, you're only an hour
and forty minutes drive from Abu
Dhabi, and they’re not short on
incredulous architecture either.
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque
accommodates 41,000 worshippers,
boasts 80 marble domes, over
1000 pillars and four 107 metre-
high minarets, and if that doesn’t
bedazzle you, Capital Gate definitely
will. Dubai may have the world’s
tallest, but this skyscraper leans
semi unnervingly 18° to the west.
Barely a week goes by in the
Emirates without some sort of
crowd-pleasing festival occurring.
From camel racing and camel
polo, to internationally prestigious
sporting events, it’s a non-stop
calendar of celebration.
The annual Dubai food festival
showcases the hugely diverse
culinary flavours found in the UAE.
Held in February, which thankfully
is “winter” (temps from 15-25
degrees) the festival kicks off with
the popular Beach Canteen. While
over in Abu Dhabi, you'd be a fool
to miss the annual Formula 1 Etihad
Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, held
on the famed Yas Marina Circuit.
This is where you can experience
the world's only twilight race.
From food to fashion, Dubai
shopping festival (26 December
2016 - 28 January 2017) is the largest
shopping and entertainment event
in the Middle East.
For as much as there’s water in the
UAE, there’s also sand. Dubai and
Abu Dhabi roll into the seemingly
never-ending Arabian Desert and
it is here dusty and windblown
sand makes mile upon mile of stark
nothingness. But it’s an emptiness
of beauty; deep red and fiery.
Experience an unforgettable desert
night safari and travel by 4WD into
a secret desert location, bumping
and rolling through towering dunes
on what feels like a desert roller
coaster. Partake in camel rides and
sand boarding (and a few downhill
rolls if you’d like) before a barbecue
and shisha under a starlit sky. Take
your camera for the impressive
sunset, and equally impressive belly
dancers. And for something even
more unique, stay until morning
on a memorable overnight safari.
Take extra thick blankets and your
camera for the startling desert
sunrise.

biggest!

On the south-eastern tip of the Arabian Peninsula lies an exotic collection
of kingdoms that make up the United Arab Emirates, best known among the
seven is Dubai.
Dubai is extravagant in every way and is a city where the dynamics are always
transient and ever-changing with its constant urge to construct something
bigger and better than the previous. The contrasts here are breath-taking,
with jaw-dropping skyscrapers, glitzy hotels and many other luxurious
offerings. But scratch beneath the surface of this Middle Eastern city and
there is still a pulsating Old World vibe, with Arabian houses, bustling souqs
(open-air markets) and creeks populated by dhows (traditional sailing boats).
Dubai, a city on a mission, where you can visit year after year and know that
there will always be something new and impressive to see and do. Recently
opened in August 2016 was IMG World of Adventure, featuring four zones
including Cartoon Network and MARVEL, state of the art thrill rides and
life-sized dinosaurs. Six Flags Dubai will also open in 2017 and is set to be
the region’s largest integrated theme park, comprising of three theme parks,
motiongate™ Dubai, Bollywood Parks™ Dubai and LEGOLAND® Dubai.
