With an award- winning spa, a beautiful oasis-style pool and delectable dining in a waterfront setting it provides a delightful retreat away from the city's bustle and ideal for a two-centre holiday or short break. The spacious rooms all have water views of either the Creek or the marina and elegant interiors complemented by the Mediterranean and Moorish design in muted pastels. Fine dining selections range from Thai with open kitchen to modern European grills and Lebanese. For cocktails at sunset retire to The Terrace with its lounge ambience, caviar, oysters and collection of vodkas. Rest of the day free to explore the Hotel. Day 2 - Play Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht ClubDubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club 6857 yds Par 71 The superbly manicured fairways are undulating, demarcated by mounds, date and palm trees, and most other times by water.

Sample the historic sites and vibrant cosmopolitan life of Dubai on this comprehensive tour. The tour begins in Jumeirah, the picturesque palace and residential area of Dubai, also home to the famous Jumeirah Mosque. The next stop is at Sheikh Saeed House (former residence of the ruling family). The tour then continues to Al Bastakiya, the old part of Dubai, to reach the museum located in Al Fahidi Fort. All aboard the Abra (water taxi) to cross the Creek to the spice souk and to the most famous landmark of Dubai – the Gold souk. Rest of the day free to relax. Day 3 - Play Emirates Golf Club • The Majlis CourseEmirates Golf Club 7200 yds Par 72 The original home of the Dubai Desert Classic and the flagship course of Emirates Golf Club, The Majlis Championship course is a challenging par 72, 7200-yard course. Sculptured around the original tall desert dunes in 1987, The Majlis was the first grass course in the Middle East and takes its name from the Arabic for 'meeting place'. Indeed, one of the most prominent features on the course is the Majlis building itself, positioned between the 8th and 9th holes. The 8th hole, a par 4 dogleg is The Majlis' most unusual hole. Stroke index 3 and playing a full 434 yards, it has the unusual distinction of playing up-hill and requires a long, well directed drive to leave a reasonable second shot to its well protected green. Afternoon free to relax. Evening Desert Safari Dubai In the evening, set out for "Desert Wonder" our popular Desert Safari. This tour departs in the afternoon across the desert of Dubai with several photo-stops during an exciting dune drive to the first destination - the camel farm. The drive continues across the desert. We stop to watch the beautiful sunset before reaching our campsite where you have the opportunity to do camel riding, sand boarding and try out a henna design on hands or feet. After working up an appetite enjoy a delicious barbecue dinner and a shisha (the famous Arabic water pipe). Before returning watch our belly dancer performing her shows around the campfire by starlight. Day 4 - Play The MontgomerieThe Montgomerie 7308 yds Par 72 The Montgomerie, Dubai's championship golf course was designed by Colin Montgomerie in association with Desmond Muirhead. The course covers 265 acres which consist of 123 acres of turf, 49 acres of man-made lakes (a total of 14 lakes), 93 acres of landscaped gardens and is scattered with 81 large bunkers. The course provides the player with undulating "links land" style fairways with generous landing areas which challenge and intrigue all levels of player. Although large in size, the greens can be very misleading, especially as they are consistently rolling above 9.5feet. Plenty of shape throughout the greens can result in some very trying putts. Afternoon free to relax. Day 5 - Play Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht ClubDubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club - 6857 yds Par 71 The superbly manicured fairways are undulating, demarcated by mounds, date and palm trees, and most other times by water. Apart from the Creek, which comes into play on at least four holes, several artificial lakes add to the beauty and difficulty of various other holes. The presence of multiple tees ensures that golfers of all calibres enjoy their day out at the course. While length of the tee helps, the premium is certainly on accuracy, especially with the approach shots as most of the greens are multi-tiered with subtle borrows. Afternoon free to relax. Day 6 - Play Jebel Ali Golf ResortJebel Ali Golf Resort 3299 yds Par 36 The 9-hole, par 36, championship standard Resort Course is situated within the idyllic grounds of the Resort. Designed by Peter Harradine and opened in 1998, the Resort Course has hosted the world’s best players as part of the official curtain raiser to the European PGA Tour event, the Dubai Desert Classic. Each hole is uniquely landscaped with exotic trees, shrubs and original desert flora and the course also features a saltwater lake which comes into play on five holes. The wooden gazebos, views of the Arabian Gulf and peacocks which freely roam the fairways have added a special charm to this course that is a fair and exciting challenge for golfers of all abilities. Afternoon free to relax or go Shooting. Day 7 - Drive to Dubai Airport for flight homeDrive Time: 20 mins Spend morning at leisure after breakfast.
