Experience Dubai in December & prepare to be dazzled

Dubai is more than a mecca for millionaires. The bright lights and lustre of this ever-evolving metropolis can be enjoyed from the comfort of your on-the-water retreat, making the most of the warm Persian Gulf sea, or from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, with its array of 7-Star restaurants, opulent night clubs and luxury shopping malls. And with average highs of 26°C, it’s the perfect place to escape the chillier Mediterranean climate.

High-octane fun

One advantage of a Dubai yacht charter is the variety of water-based activities on offer. If diving’s your thing, Dubai in December is just as glorious below water as it is above. With some of the best diving sites in the world, there’s something for every type of underwater explorer - including an array of shipwrecks teaming with life.

There’s also an abundance of water sports to try, ranging from the fairly relaxing, such as canoeing and snorkelling, to the more adrenaline-fuelled, such as jet-skiing and paragliding. In fact, Dubai is considered one of the adventure-sport capitals of the world.

Shop ‘til you drop

If you fancy venturing into the city, there’s more than enough to keep you entertained. With some of the biggest and best shopping malls in the world, it’s a great place to find the perfect Christmas gift for even the most fastidious of shopper. Be sure to catch the Dubai Shopping Festival, which runs from December through to January, where you can indulge in some serious retail therapy by day, by night enjoying the impressive firework displays.

Alternatively, if you fancy a journey back in time to old Dubai, cross the creek on your Dubai yacht charter to reach the more traditional souks, where glittering jewellery is piled high. It never hurts to haggle on the prices, allowing you to barter down those costs and ultimately get your hands on more exquisite pieces.

Futuristic architecture

Dubai is also the place to go for sights you wouldn't see anywhere else in the world. Marvel at the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, from the outside, before taking the ultra-fast elevator all the way up to the 124th floor and gazing across the Arabian desert. Explore the Miracle Garden, home to 150 million flowers of the most incredible shapes and colours - look out for the giant floral Mickey Mouse. Visit the Palm Jumeirah, a gorgeous manmade archipelago in the shape of a palm tree. Whatever you do in Dubai in December, you’ll never have a dull moment.
