The buzz and bling of Dubai combined with the peace of the Maldives offers 10 days of fabulous contrasts. The Arabian desert provides a playground in 4x4s and after a spree in the Dubai Mall, home to a myriad of designer labels, collapse on the pristine white sand of a Maldivian beach where Robinson Crusoe meets intelligent luxury and the desert meets the ocean.

HIGHLIGHTS
- The wonderful display of the Dubai Fountain which takes place every evening right outside the Address Downtown.
