Dubai & the Emirates
The family trip that works in every season, and the easiest long-haul-feeling holiday five hours from Dhaka.
BEST SEASON — NOVEMBER – MARCH
The place
Why we keep going back.
Beyond the obvious towers there is an old city: the creek, the gold and spice souks, and abra crossings for one dirham. We build both halves into the week.
Worth your time
- Abra across Dubai Creek
- Al Fahidi old quarter
- Desert night with Bedouin dinner
- Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Abu Dhabi
