Dubai: setting a journey for the “Valley of Billionaires”



Dubai: the “City of Gold”, the Valley of Billionaires or whatever you want to call this place, because, definitely, it will not diminish its exclusivity, glamour and de luxe.

If you are planning an escape from the cold weather and you choose this delightful pearl in the Middle East as your potential relaxation spot, then we suggest you to ask yourself the following questions first.

Are you looking for the extreme sensations? Do you like to treat yourself with gastronomic delights? Dance the night away? Seeking family privacy on the beach? Or maybe you are inspired by hikes in the wild? Or maybe you are into delightful shopping experience in the largest shopping mall in the world? Go skiing in the middle of the desert? Staying at the only 7-star hotel or withdrawing a gold bar from a local ATM instead of cash?

Are you thinking about the inconsistency of these statements? But in vain! After all, Dubai is a city where the sun shines almost all year round, ready to offer you everything at once.

The most comfortable period to visit the UAE is November-March, when the average air temperature reaches 27 degrees Celsius, which will allow you to fully enjoy your stay not only inside, but also doing outdoor activities. Let us recall that in the rest of the year the country's climate is characterized by extremely high temperature and humidity and limited precipitation, so choose the month for your trip wisely.

For citizens of the Russian Federation, there is no need to apply for tourist visas before traveling, you can obtain it directly at customs control for 90 days. For other nationalities, visa formalities are available on the website.
Remember to follow your country's travel guidelines for COVID-19.

How to get there?

Dubai has 2 airports: Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum International Airport. You can get there both by regular flights or by private jets from Moscow, London, Nice, which will give a festive feeling from the first minute of your stay on board. For details of booking a charter, go to the website.

Would you like a Rolls Royce Ghost with its own driver to take you to your hotel with style and a feeling of complete luxury upon arrival? Then be sure to take the luxury transfer.

Dubai is proud to be one of the world top luxury travel destinations in terms of hotels, restaurants, clubs and entertainment.. But it is easy to get lost in this abundance, so the iPremium team decided to simplify this task by offering the most exclusive.
