This trip combines the vibrancy of Dubai - the largest city in the United Arab Emirates with the unparalleled bliss of the Seychelles - right in the heart of the Indian Ocean. You will begin by flying into Dubai where you will stay in the Palazzo Versace for three nights. Combining stunning futuristic architecture with stark desert, Dubai is the quintessentially city of contrasts. Spend your time searching for gold souvenirs in the souks, venturing up to the top of the Burj Khalifa (the world's tallest structure) or journeying out to explore some desert scenery in the sand. You will then fly direct on to Seychelles;, which can be found off the coast of East Africa - this group of 115 islands are home to absolutely stunning beaches, rainforests, mountains and coral reefs which all combine to beautiful dramatic effect. You will be based for a week at Raffles on the island of Praslin - the second largest of the granite islands in the Seychelles, which features breath-taking boulder tipped beaches combined with a mountainous interior which houses the Praslin National Park.
