City & Desert Stopover

Spend town nights staying in Downtown Dubai, at the Palace Downtown. Set within walking distance of the Dubai Mall and with a prime view of the Dubai Fountains and the Burj Khalifa, it is the perfect place to base yourself when exploring the city.

The desert 'glamping' experience offers spacious, specially designed tented suites and delicious local cuisine, alongside endless views of the tranquil desert.
