48 hours in Dubai

Nowhere does excess like the glamorous, beach-lined Emirate of Dubai. A heady mix of innovation, culture and pleasure for pleasure’s sake – Dubai is often referred to as a playground – you’ll be spoilt for choice. Elle Blakeman shares her recommendations for an adventure-packed weekend.

Your perfect (and perfectly easy) weekend break starts here.
