• Choosing a Dubai holiday rental

    • The desert city of Dubai is one of the world's most exciting up-and-coming tourist destinations with plenty if Dubai apartments to choose from. Home to the world's tallest tower, Burj Khalifa, as well as enormous shopping malls and a plethora of high-end restaurants, bars and nightclubs. Dubai is a modern and fast-paced city with plenty to offer in the way of Dubai entertainment. If you're lucky enough to be there during January or February, take advantage of the annual Dubai Shopping Festival, during which almost every shop has a sale, to bag yourself some great deals on the latest fashions. Dubai is famous for selling brightly colored textiles and gold items - take a walk through the Gold Souk market and prepare to be dazzled.

      Choose a Dubai apartment in the Dubai Marina area

      Dubai Marina is a man-made canal city located in the heart of the modern part of Dubai and a perfect location to choose your Dubai accommodation in as there plenty of good-value rentals in the Dubai Marina. Bordered by beautiful blue sea on one side and glittering skyscrapers on the other, the beaches here are truly spectacular. Take a stroll along Marina Walk to see the highlights of Dubai Marina and visit the Covent Garden open-air market Dubai. This is an excellent shopping area, so spend some time browsing the markets and malls before you relax with a coffee at a waterfront cafe. You should also try to catch one of the shows that often take place in this area. Alternatively, hire a yacht and enjoy a lazy afternoon cruising around the bay. Be sure to take your camera to capture shots of the magnificent skyline, which rises high above a long stretch of sandy beach.

      Rent a Dubai accommodation on the Palm Jumeirah

      Palm Jumeirah is one of three artificial islands located just off the coast of Dubai that are shaped like palm leaves. The construction of these islands is an incredible feat of engineering, aimed at extending Dubai's coastline by 323 miles. Palm Jumeirah is the first of the three islands to open and is quickly filling up with up-market hotels, malls, and bars. Exploring the Palm Jumeirah is an eye-opening demonstration of the phenomenal pace of Dubai's development. Enter via the monorail, which drops you off at the impressive Atlantis hotel, an excellent place to eat, drink, or stay. For a great night out, visit the Nassimi Beach club, situated nearby on the beach.

      A holiday apartment in Dubai Jumeirah Beach

      Located between the ocean and the desert, Dubai can get extremely hot in summer. You'll want to take advantage of the air-conditioned malls, bars, and museums during the hottest part of the day. Once the sun begins to drop in the sky, head to Jumeirah Beach to cool off in the sea. Families in particular will love Wild Wadi Park, which has water slides, rides, a tidal pool, and a shady lagoon. Alternatively, take a guided tour around the Jumeirah Mosque to learn about Islam, the official religion of the United Arab Emirates. Most mosques in the UAE are not open to non-Muslims, so this is a rare opportunity to gain an insight into the traditional religion and culture of Dubai. Finish off the day with a sunset hot air balloon ride for stunning views of the area.       Expand Continent Location

  • Some Dubai Apartment Reviews

    • Choosing a Dubai self-catering rental over a hotel means to be guaranteed to have the freedom to do as you wish. You will have access to cooking facilities and extra space which is why for Dubai family travel this is often the preferred option. Then there's the location of your Dubai apartment: hotels cannot be built in many top stops of the city but you will always find an apartment that can be rented short-term.
      MARINA PROMENADE - SHAMERA Booking was easy, communication prior to stay excellent. This Dubai apartment was clean, tidy and provisions left when we arrived. Lovely apartment, plenty of space for us. Views over the Marina were fantastic. There's a 24hr supermarket downstairs for everything you need (might be worth adding that to the apartment description). Only minor comments are that it's worth noting that the showers take a little time to warm up which caused us some confusion at first but once you know then no problem. There's a couple of smallthings the kitchen could do with - oven gloves being the main thing! The wireless didn't work although the broadband did if you connected via a cable however we then lost the broadband and TV service for a couple of days due to a problem with the account. However this was sorted by the mgt company after I called them - credit to them for that. All in all, great place to stay - work or pleasure and I'd stay there again.

      Marina Heights 711 I had a great stay at this Dubai apartment. It's in a prime location with it being at the northern aspect of the Dubai Marina. Also very close to Spinnys supermarket and Barasti bar at Le Meridien which is really good. the facilities are great including a gym and a swimming pool which we used every day.Fully recommend it and would stay there again.
