We take a look at flights to Dubai

The city is the perfect get away for sunshine and warmth. The best time to visit is between November and March for the climate as well as the attraction of the Dubai Shopping Festival which takes place during the early months of the year. There are many other attractions in Dubai such as the museum, Jumeira Mosque, Wonderland, Wild Wadi and Desert Safari.

Dubai is really pretty close to the UK with a flight time of just under seven hours and a time difference of four hours ahead of GMT or three hours ahead of British Summer Time. Emirates, Virgin and British Airways are the main carriers to Dubai from the UK although plenty of other smaller carriers also operate flights.

If you are looking for a good deal on prices, especially if you can be flexible with your travel dates it is well worth taking a look at websites such as Expedia or lastminute or at a price comparison website.
