This holiday offers a perfect combination of sophisticated city life with tranquil island bliss to follow. You will start in Dubai – the largest of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and hub of the Middle East. Dubai has become synonymous with luxury – be it shops, restaurants or bars – plus visually striking architecture and a busy nightlife scene. Spend three days checking out this bustling and exciting desert hub before flying on to Maldives. If you tire of nightlife, shopping and dining at the fine restaurants, you also have desert pursuits on your doorstep where you can try activities such as camel riding or a desert safari. The Maldives is the island nation in the Indian Ocean comprising of twenty six atolls and coral islands. This is a destination which is perfect for lazy days spent relaxing, sunbathing and indulging in water sports – the sparkling blue waters and white sands make for the picture perfect backdrop. All the islands are circled by lagoons with wonderfully translucent waters and the marine environment is second to none. This gives the best of both worlds – start your trip off by living the high life in the metropolis; then follow this by some supreme world-class relaxation in the stunning Maldives.
