    Dubai has grown impressively in a short space of time to become the financial and logistical hub of the Middle East. My trips there are mainly work related, though there have been many times that this city has proved to be a stellar destination for a family vacation, especially because of its unparalleled connections to the rest of the world via Emirates airlines.

    Dubai offers the modern international traveller a plethora of fine dining options coupled with world-class entertainment and rakish retail therapy… all in the middle of the Arabian Desert.

    My favourite hotel of choice in Dubai tends to be the , located at the D.I.F.C. (Dubai International Financial Centre). The hotel operates as a very efficient business destination without neglecting the luxurious perks, including is a firm favourite for family vacations. Only a 20-minute drive from Dubai’s international airport, the hotel is a tranquil getaway in the middle of this bustling metropolis. With its many swimming pools, a private beach with enviable views of the Arabian Gulf, a fabulous spa, and a host of amazing dining venues, it is a fantastic place to recharge one’s batteries.
