HAND-VETTED RESORTS
Spectacle Above, Old Arabia Beneath
No city on earth has risen as fast, or as high, as Dubai. In a single generation it has turned a stretch of Gulf coast into a skyline of record-breakers — the Burj Khalifa above all — wrapped around warm-water beaches, palm-shaped islands and some of the most extravagant hotels ever built. Yet beneath the spectacle runs an older Arabia: the creek, the gold and spice souks, the silence of the desert just beyond the ring road.
At HighStreet Holidays we don't simply book Dubai — we balance it for you: beachfront and skyline, indulgence and culture, the buzz of the city and a night under the desert stars.
With access to a carefully vetted portfolio of the city's finest hotels, from beach resorts to skyline icons, we build a Dubai pitched exactly to your taste.
Dubai is easy to dismiss until you arrive. Then the scale, the warmth and the sheer audacity of the place win you over.
Signature Experiences
Moments That Linger
Beyond the beach, Dubai rewards the curious. These are the experiences our clients come home remembering.
Burj Khalifa
Ascend the world's tallest building to At the Top, 555 metres up, for a view across city, desert and Gulf. Best at sunset, as Dubai lights up beneath you.
Desert Safari
Out into the dunes by 4x4 for dune-bashing, a camel ride and dinner under the stars at a Bedouin-style camp. The desert is closer than you think, and the contrast is the point.
Souks & Old Dubai
Across the creek by traditional abra to the gold and spice souks of Deira — the older, slower Dubai of bargaining, scent and history beneath the skyline.
Palm Jumeirah & Beaches
The palm-shaped island and the Jumeirah beaches — warm, clean Gulf water and some of the most extravagant beach resorts ever built.
Ski Dubai & the Malls
Snow skiing inside a mall in the desert sums up Dubai's audacity. The Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emirates are destinations in themselves — and blissfully cool in summer.
Fountains & the Marina
An evening at the Dubai Fountain below the Burj Khalifa, then dinner along the Marina. The city after dark is when it truly performs.

Best Time to Visit
When to Go
PEAK SEASON
November to March
The cool, sunny winter — warm days around 24-28C, low humidity and perfect beach weather. The ideal time to visit, and the busiest; the festive weeks and February half-term are the priciest.
SHOULDER
April & October
Hot but manageable, with warm seas and noticeably lower rates than peak. Good-value months at the edges of the comfortable season.
SUMMER (VERY HOT)
May to September
Fierce heat of 40-45C and high humidity. Days are spent in the pool, the sea or the air-conditioned malls and attractions. The lowest hotel rates of the year, if you can take the heat.
YEAR-ROUND SUN
Every month
Dubai's sunshine is guaranteed. Even in high summer the city works as an indoor-luxury escape — world-class hotels, dining, malls and indoor attractions — at its lowest prices.
Sample Itinerary
A 5-Night Dubai Journey
Every itinerary we create is bespoke — this is simply one way a perfect short break unfolds.
1
DAY 1 — ARRIVAL
UK to Dubai
Your flight departs London — around seven hours direct — landing into Dubai. A private transfer to your hotel, and the skyline lights up for your first evening.
2
DAY 2 — THE CITY
Skyline & Old Dubai
The Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall in the morning, then across the creek by abra to the gold and spice souks — the city's two faces in a single day.
3
DAY 3 — THE BEACH
Sun, Sand & Sea
A day on Jumeirah's warm-water beaches, perhaps Palm Jumeirah and a waterpark, then sundowners as the towers turn gold.
4
DAY 4 — THE DESERT
Dunes & Stars
Out into the desert by 4x4 for dune-bashing and a camel ride, then dinner under the stars at a desert camp. Dubai's wild side, an hour from the skyline.
5
DAY 5 — FAREWELL
Final Morning & Departure
A last morning by the pool or a final dash round the malls before your flight home — the short hop back to the UK leaving most of the day free.
