Staying in Dubai
Base yourself in historic Bur Dubai

Hotels in Bur Dubai are plentiful, ranging from 3 to 5 stars. If you're keeping close tabs on yhour budget, consider a comfortable room at the Jormand Hotel Apartments or the Winchester Hotel Apartments on Kuwait Street. For something a little more stylish, consider checking in to the Ramada Hotel, the Park Regis Kris Kin or the Savoy Crest Apartments.
Unbeatable Dubai decadence
Dubai and, indeed, the United Arab Emirates as a whole are known for piling on the luxury, glittering in gold from top to toe. There is no short supply when it comes to 5-star Dubai hotels, with a mix of both Middle Eastern and international chains.
Spend your days relaxing poolside or at the spa at the Hyatt Regency Dubai and Galleria, take your pick of multiple fine-dining restaurants at the InterContinental Festival City or marvel at the sheer architectural brilliance of the Egypt-inspired Raffles Dubai. Want more? The Metropolitan Palace, Shangri-La and Sheraton Dubai Mall of the Emirates have suites to suit even the most selective traveller.
Beachfront bliss at Jumeirah
Dubai's Jumeriah district lends its name to the long, white stretch of sand tracing the coast just south of Bur Dubai. From this vantage point it's hard to miss the eye-catching Palm Jumeirah off the mainland, a man-made archipelago reaching its fronds out into the Persian Gulf.
The Palm Jumeriah is home to a selection of hotels and resorts, such as the resplendent Atlantis The Palm. Back on the shore, the likes of the Le Meridien Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina can offer a view of the Palm instead. Further hotels along the beach include the Westin Dubai, the luxurious Sofitel and apartments at the Oaks Liwa Heights.
