Dubai Stopover to Australia

Experience the elegance of Dubai on a fabulous stopover on your way to or from Australia. You could relax on Jumeirah Beach long stretches of pristine sand, studded with some of the world’s top hotels or head to downtown Dubai with its piercing skyscrapers, most noticeably Burj Khalifa – the world’s tallest building.

Dubai is not all 21st century glitz and glam and, for a taste of traditional Arabia, head for the neighbourhoods of Bur Dubai and Deira, with their labyrinth of alleys, souks and mosques separated by the bustling Dubai creek, where wooden Dhows ply their trade.

Deluxe Hotel Suggestion – Located opposite Burjuman shopping centre, Park Regis Kris Kin is a short walk to a metro station in the heart of Dubai’s historic district. There is a rooftop pool, two restaurants and a bar.

First Class Hotel Suggestion – Shaped like a wave washing over its 900 meters of private beach, the Jumeirah Beach Hotel is a city icon. With luxurious guest rooms, 6 swimming pools and 19 restaurants cafes and bars, it is the ultimate Dubai experience.
