Dubai & Mauritius

Sprawling Dubai soars beyond the clouds with its distinctive skyline dominated by imposing skyscrapers (including the world’s tallest), its striking blend of Arabian tradition and contemporary world-class facilities an icon of the modern generation. A showcase of divine luxury, Dubai offers a multitude of stunning hotels and resorts, stunning souks and white beaches as well as world-class shopping and nightlife.  

 From here it’s a short hop to the tropical island of Mauritius, whose kaleidoscopic blend of colours and cultures was famously described by Mark Twain as ‘heaven.’ Today, the ivory sands of its stunning coastline and the majestic green carpet of the hilly interior live up to such a lofty reputation, while its melting pot of cultural influences from Africa, Asia, India and Europe – as well as its world-class diving – make for a treasure trove of unique experiences for families and couples.
