Dubai is a luxury adventure playground for grown-ups, a great choice for a luxury holiday or honeymoon with a difference. Dubai is a place where you can ski snowy indoor slopes, career down water slides, stay on a man-made island shaped like a palm tree and put some money on a camel. There are plenty of more sophisticated pleasures, too, with top notch luxury hotels, gourmet restaurants, golf, spas and shopping in lavish malls or bustling souks. Then there are the simple pleasures: basking on the beach sipping cool drinks while the warm Gulf waters lap around your sun bed.
