Choosing a destination for a quick break which pleases everyone can be a bit of a challenge. There are so many factors to keep in mind while deciding. It should be affordable. It should be vibrant. It should offer a lot of action. Maybe even somewhere close? A location that doesn’t involve hours upon hours of flying…
Taking all these points into consideration, for many Pakistani’s Dubai is the perfect getaway. In the deserted plains of the United Arab Emirates lies one of the most opulent vacation destinations on the planet. This oasis in the desert is perfectly situated on the Persian Gulf, where a light breeze flows inland to help cut through the heat of the day.
A popular playground for the rich and famous, Dubai has everything one could ask for; Whether you’re looking for vast sand dunes or white sandy beaches, water parks or scrumptious food, luxury shopping or an enchanting nightlife.

It is home to the Emirates Towers and the Princess Tower, not to mention the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa standing tall at a staggering 830 metres. But mile-high skyscrapers are but a fraction of Dubai’s appeal.
