About Dubai

An Expressions tailor-made holiday to Dubai is ideal for those wishing to experience a glimpse of urban and coastal luxury and opulence. Cradled between the waters of the Gulf, the desert, and the Al Hajar mountains, the Emirate of Dubai – one of the seven United Arab Emirates – is a truly fascinating blend of the ancient traditions of Arabia and the Bedouin, the influence of Islam, and a thriving, modern commercialism. Even at the beginning of this century, the way of life in Dubai had hardly changed over hundreds of years and was centred around merchants from Iran and India, Bedouins traversing the desert from wadi to oasis, spices and gold being traded. Today, remnants of this old way of life are still visible and great efforts are being made to restore traditional houses and to show village life although new buildings are air-conditioned towers of steel and glass, shopping centres vie with ancient souqs and the traditional art of falconry exists alongside golf and horse-racing. Dubai has a huge number of attractions as a luxury holiday destination, from its hot climate, warm waters and sandy beaches to its desert dunes, outstanding luxury accommodation, and glimpses of modern and ancient Arab life for western visitors.

Highlights of Dubai

Local highlights in Dubai are based largely around the traditional Arab and Bedouin way of life here; falconry, the mosques and their minarets, the traditional dress such as the long white dishdasha and the gutra head cloth held on by the black agal for men and the abaya long black cloak for women and sometimes the burqa, a mask that covers the eyebrows, nose and mouth. The ancient souqs such as the Spice Souq, the Covered Souq and the Gold Souq in Deira. Arabic coffee at the Fatafeet Cafe and watching if not trying others smoking a sheesha, filled with apple-flavoured tobacco. Take an abra ride on the Creek to get a real flavour of the ancient and modern feel of the city. Traditional wooden dhows moored in Dubai Creek. Bargain for a carpet at the Sharjah Central Souq. Shopping for gold, Bedouin jewellery, perfume, incense, electronics and textiles. Sporting activities include camel racing, desert rallies, golf, tennis and horse-racing.

Travel around Dubai

Taxis from Dubai Transport or private companies recommended by the hotels are probably the best way to get around and are reasonable. Care should be taken whilst on foot as driving can be haphazard and attention is not always paid to pedestrian crossings.

Luxury bespoke holidays to the Madinat Jumeirah Resort, Dubai

Talise is the new worldwide spa brand of Jumeirah, and the spa at Madinat Jumeirah is impressively exotic, harmonious and comprehensive. 26 treatment rooms are laid out in island clusters - small private oases amidst tropical landscapes. You can stroll through private courtyards and stunning gardens, designed to ease you into a calm and relaxed frame of mind. Beautiful outdoor treatment tents allow you to experience your chosen treatment in harmony with nature, letting you immerse yourself in the Arabian surroundings. Aside from the normal treatment areas some rooms are kept private for ladies, while others are specifically for couples.The philosophy of Talise is to be the Spa for Self Discovery, and it aims to achieve this by providing a very individual, person-centred approach using five basic ingredients. Traditional spa treatments go hand in hand with alternative therapies and mind, body and soul treatments, and to these are added nutrition and physical fitness programmes. Talise uses only products from Sodashi, one of the world's only totally natural skin care ranges.

Signature spa treatments

Talise Absolution The epitome of luxury, nurture and individual care. After a gentle foot ritual and pressure point massage, hot oil will be drizzled over your back, and you will have a four-hands life rhythm massage with steamed herbal poultices drenched in hot oil. Next a synchronized Lomi Lomi Sequence fused with Thai and Balinese movements. The layering of treatment oils and techniques prepare the body for the absorption and penetration of the minerals and nutrients in the full body mask. Hot compression to the face, pressure massage and an application of hair and scalp mud will culminate in an uplifting foot massage.

Herbal Stone Poultice A distinctive therapy incorporating the special healing powers of gems and potent herbs. A poultice of dark green aventurine spheres, woven into a powerful healing instrument, is applied to the core section of your body. A mixture with lavender as the key ingredient is applied to the extremities. The aventurine awakens the body's natural healing abilities, which are drawn actively to the lavender, bringing enhanced healing energy to the limbs as the aromatic scent places the mind at ease.

Talise Pure Awakening To reduce jet-lag or fatigue, this cleansing treatment begins with an invigorating body brushing to stimulate circulation. Sodashi's all natural purifying mask is then applied to the whole body to stimulate the circulatory system, relieving the body of any sluggishness and congestion, removing unwanted toxins.
