Just when you thought your Christmas shopping adventure couldn’t get more adventurous!  If you’ve decided to take a Christmas shopping trip this year, why not opt for something a bit more exotic (and potentially less expensive) than New York?   Why not visit the plentiful, tax free, shops of Dubai!

And after you’ve indulged in a few days of bargain shopping in Dubai, you can soak up the Arabian sun on one of these exciting excursions:

1.  Desert Safari Adventure

How many people can actually say they took a Christmas shopping break to go on a desert safari?  Depart the city crowds for a 4×4 adventure through the desert terrain, complete with a leisurely stop at a Bedouin campsite!

2.  Magical Dubai Lunch

This comprehensive tour will take you to all of the best local souks, or markets, where you can pick up some authentic souvenirs for your family and friends.  Beyond the museums, the fort and the beautiful mosque, the unquestionable highlight of the tour is of course, a traditional lunch in the world’s most luxurious hotel: the Burj Al Arab.

3.  Dhow Dinner Cruise

After a long day of Christmas shopping in Dubai, why not settle into a relaxing romantic boat cruies down the Dubai Creek in a traditionally decorated wooden dhow?  What more could you ask for, really?

4.  Ski Dubai Resort

After a few days of mild Persian Gulf weather, you might find yourself missing the fluffly white snow flakes that you might have witnessed on a trip to, say, New York.  But worry not–Dubai does snow, too!

Stop off at the Middle East’s first indoor ski resort at the famous Mall of the Emirates.

Yes, a giant ski slope…with snow…in a mall…just a few miles from the desert.

Enough said.

Enjoy your Dubai Chrismas Shopping Adventure!
