With Emirates’ current schedule of two daily flights from Colombo, increasing to three flights on Wednesdays and four per day on all other days from 22 July, Dubai is not only easily accessible from Sri Lanka but also a great option for affordable, luxury holidays for families and couples alike. Dubai is home to the world’s tallest building – the Burj Khalifa, the world’s largest mall – The Dubai Mall, and home to a melting pot of people from over 200 nations. Dubai is where east meets west, and tradition blends seamlessly with the modern. Visitors to Dubai can experience both the benefits of a city enriched by multi-cultural influences and the heritage of an Arab nation.
The city offers a wide range of attractions, activities, festivals, nightlife and cuisine – there really is something for everyone in Dubai. For the adventurous traveller there are the Wild Wadi and Aquaventure water parks, safari driving in the desert for sunrise or sunset and even sky diving.
For those looking for a more relaxing break, Dubai has a huge number of spas and wellness experiences as well as the very best shopping – from local traditional finds in markets to world-renowned designer boutiques.
