About Dubai

Dubai is a city that loves to impress. In just a few decades it has grown from a trading port into a global destination, with the world's tallest building, man-made islands, huge shopping malls and some of the most exciting attractions on Earth. Yet it also keeps its roots alive in the old souks, the creek and the desert, where traditional Arabian culture is still part of the experience.

In one trip you can go up the Burj Khalifa for sweeping skyline views, watch the Dubai Fountain light up in front of the Dubai Mall, ride a 4x4 over the dunes at sunset and sail past the skyscrapers of Dubai Marina. Families can enjoy theme parks, waterparks and aquariums, while couples and friends can enjoy rooftop dinners, beach clubs and evening cruises.

For Pakistani travellers, Dubai is one of the easiest and most comfortable international destinations. The flight is short, halal food is the standard, Urdu and Hindi are widely understood and the city is well organised, clean and welcoming for families. It also offers options for every budget, from simple city hotels to luxury resorts.

The classic route covers Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah, Old Dubai and a desert safari, usually in 4 to 6 days. Many travellers also add a day trip or a few nights in Abu Dhabi, about 90 minutes away, for the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Yas Island.

SaffarGuru takes care of flights, hotels, private transport, attraction tickets and sightseeing, and guides you through entry requirements, so you can enjoy a stress-free holiday. Every package can be tailored to your dates, budget and group size.
