The choice is yours but with the world getting smaller all the time, making holiday options overwhelming, think about a different type of holiday in the jewel of the Middle East, Dubai. Making headlines on a weekly basis with its huge tourist expansion programme and its fantastic new infrastructure and innovative architecture, Dubai has everything to offer visitors in this fantastic Emirate.



The climate, whilst hot and steamy in the height of the summer still doesn’t deter ‘Mad Dogs and English Men’ in July and August, and is absolutely gorgeous for the remainder of the year. It’s a safe bet for visitors at anytime without the aggressive weather patterns that can hit further eastern locations such as India, Thailand and Malaysia resulting in a diluted holiday season in these locations which could pose a threat to your holiday. The worst Dubai can throw at you is the odd sand storm which even holds some exotic attraction to the masochists among us!

Dubai excels and prides itself on its standard of accommodation and houses some of the most luxurious hotels, holiday apartments and vacations villas all situated either on or close to the fabulous Jumeirah Beach overlooking the azure blue seas of the Arabian Gulf.

Hotels in the U.A.E. and especially in Dubai are all designed to offer visitors a variety of fabulous experiences from Desert hotels, with camel safaris and falcon experts on site, to amazing beach locations all with their own unique style and all with fantastic customer service.

Whilst the hotels are stunning and well worth a visit, there is a shortage of hotel rooms with Dubai hosting so many events, such as the Dubai Gold Cup, Dubai Air show, Power Boat Racing, Dubai Shopping Festival, Exhibitions and many open air concerts. Dubai is also developing into THE major Business and Financial Arena in the Middle East boosting the economy but resulting in a shortage of hotel accommodation. Due to this, many investors in Dubai are offering their apartments and villas to the holiday villa and apartment rental market and maximizing on their investments. This bodes well for investors and visitors alike as the price-saving over hotel accommodation can be as much as 50% making this a really affordable place for families or large groups who want to have the full Dubai experience.

For families thinking of visiting Dubai, this is a fantastic location offering not only fabulous beach facilities with all the water sports you can imagine, but probably the best shopping in the world and plenty of activities to keep the kids amused and entertained. Try snow skiing in the Desert in the middle of summer or the famous Wild-Wadi Water Park overlooking the Burj Al Arab Hotel, or horse riding, Camel and Desert Safaris with Dune and Wadi-bashing in a 4 wheel drive, all with expert drivers who will give you the ride of a lifetime.

Whilst the hotels are truly amazing, the benefits of holiday apartment or villa rental are manifold. Dubai Planning Authorities have ensured that only the best locations are developed to make for a great lifestyle choice for investors in Dubai. Most accommodation has either a Lake, Marina or Sea view, most are equipped with swimming pools and gyms, are either on or within easy reach of beaches and without fail, all are within minutes of the best shopping malls in the world.

Holiday Rental companies in Dubai offer airport transfers, maid service and food parcels with some also offering a full Concierge Service taking the worry and the work out of visiting or staying in Self Catering Villas or Holiday Apartments in Dubai. Short term lets are now readily available and for far less than you would expect considering you could be located on the amazing Jumeirah Palm Island, the Arabian Ranches or fabulous Dubai Marina areas.

Dubai is a place not to be missed so if you are looking for a flexible and lower cost way of experiencing Dubai and are looking for a high quality Dubai Vacation Rental, Serviced Apartment, Beach Apartment or Villa Rental, all in the best locations and close to all the fabulous attractions that are part of this unique and stylish holiday experience, think again about the flexibility of a self-catering holiday but with all the associated hassles taken away. Dubai has the best Service Industry around and you would be hard pushed to lift a finger while you are here if you want to take advantage of the services on offer. So what’s it to be, hotels or holiday rentals? You can’t make a wrong decision but you can make a wise one!
