Must See:
Admire the iconic sail-shaped Burj Al Arab tower from the shade of swaying palm trees on the golden sands of Jumeirah Beach. The beach is a 10-minute complimentary shuttle ride from Holiday Inn Express Dubai-Safa Park.
Must Do:
Dubai is a shoppers' paradise, with as many malls as millionaires. Treat yourself at the enormous Mall of the Emirates, 10 minutes from the hotel, which houses an amusement park and indoor ski resort as well as hundreds of shops and restaurants.
What's New:
Dubai's new metro system is a fully automated driverless network running between futuristic stations at must-see locations like the Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Marina. Escape the hot city streets and speed to your destination in air-conditioned style.
Don't Go Home Without:
A cruise on a traditional wooden dhow boat. See the sights of Dubai as you dine to a lively soundtrack of Arabic music and belly-dancing. Sail past sand-coloured Arabian forts in the Old Town, and glimpse the slender minarets of the city's many mosques.
Tips:
Dubai temperatures can soar to over 40 degrees Celsius so don't forget to pack sun cream. Beat the heat by retreating to your air-conditioned Guest room at Holiday Inn Express Dubai-Safa Park.
