United Arab Emirates October Holidays

As the sweltering summer days are cooling down and the temperatures slowly drop, it’s time to take advantage of a United Arab Emirates October holiday. Whether you're looking for adventure or a relaxing break, there's something for everyone in this contrasting Middle Eastern country.

With its dramatic architecture and stunning design, the Burj Khalifa is home to many of the city's best views of the surrounding desert landscape and cityscape below. A view over Palm Jumeirah's artificial archipelago will have you picking out your swimming costume for a day of lazing on Jumeirah Beach or sipping cocktails at Riva Beach Club as the sun sets over the Arabian Gulf.

If you're visiting with children, there are lots of fun things to do together as well, such as desert adventures, water sports galore or a trip to Dubai’s underwater zoo, where you'll be greeted by fish, sharks, and turtles as they swim above your head.

The majestic desert landscapes and their golden sand dunes are a sight to behold. If you're a thrill-seeker, try camel riding in the desert or quad biking through sand dunes before tucking into some authentic Middle Eastern cuisine as the sun sets on another day in Dubai.

If you’re looking to spoil yourself, this spell-bounding city is full of luxury hotels and restaurants - try dining at the Burj Al Arab seven-star hotel or book a spa treatment at the Waldorf Astoria.
