Dubai

Dubai rises from the desert like a mirage of glass, light, and imagination, a city where shifting dunes meet soaring towers, and tradition moves beside innovation with effortless confidence. Dawn slides across the skyline in gold, shimmering off mirrored façades as the city wakes: abras glide along the creek, date vendors open their stalls, and the desert’s cool breath lingers for a final moment before the day sharpens into sunlit brilliance.

You can also pay for your booking with Cash + Avios, so you will be spending even less on your Abu Dhabi adventure.
