Welcome to the playground of the rich and famous! Dubai is bigger, grander, more lavish (and considerably more expensive) than any other place on Earth. One of the world's most expensive hotel, the Burj Al Arab, is a universally recognized sailboat-shaped architectural wonder; the world's tallest building, the Burj al Khalifa, rises high in the city's center; an entire series of man-made islands, in the shape of palm fronds and another series in the shape of the entire world, are being created off the shore line; countless souks shine bright with glittering gold on display – all in Dubai! The surrounding desert stretches as far as the eye can see, with rippling dunes that are ideal for thrilling 4x4 adventures and camel riding. With all of this and more, it's a surprise that you don't have to be rich and famous to enjoy this amazing destination for yourself. In true Friendly Planet style, your 6-day vacation package to Dubai includes airfare, deluxe hotel accommodations, meals, transfers, comprehensive city tours with English-speaking guides, and more!
