Oasis Court Hotel Apartments B&B R153 7 nights from AU$719/NZ$899 1brm
AU$1139/NZ$1399 2brm
Located in Bur Dubai's prime area in close proximity to the Dubai Creek, 'Oasis Court' Hotel Apartments is strategically located to reach out to the best in Dubai. Close proximity of Bur Juman Shopping
Mall, banks and cafes, this is a perfect destination for shopaholics and leisure travellers.
DESERT OASIS: (clockwise from left) Souk it to me, the original Arabian mall. Wonders of Dubai; architecture, shopping and desert safaris. The Dubai mall, a vast shrine to shopping... more mini city than mall.
Fancy a spot of skiing with your shopping? Just 10 minutes
away you’ll find the huge Mall of the Emirates. It was the go-to place for shoppers before The Dubai Mall took over, and it’s
still a premiere shopping mall in Dubai. With a staggering
520 international brands inside, plus a multitude of restaurants including Apres, the ski-themed bar offering an exceptional cheese or chocolate fondue, you could easily spend all day in here. Magic Planet is also a great destination for those with kids - it’s the largest indoor family entertainment centre in Dubai, spread over two levels. And if theatre floats your boat, DUCTAC plays host to national and international theatre groups all year long. Oh, and don’t miss Ski Dubai either if you’re after a skiing or snowboarding lesson in the desert.
A shopping holiday in Dubai wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the traditional souks in Deira – the old, original area of the city. To get there faster than a taxi will take you, jump aboard an abra along the Dubai Creek from The Dubai Mall, taking in the bustling local life as you go. Once you get there, you’ll smell the spices. Practise your bartering skills and your Arabic too, and if you don’t end up buying gold, don’t leave without purchasing a typical Dubai souvenir: a camel ride. EV
