Check out these great staycation offers during Dubai Summer Surprises

Welcome to the summer of staycations…

With many of us staying put over summer, why not use this as an opportunity to play tourist in your own town?

From family escapes to gourmet getaways, here are some incredible staycation deals to coincide with Dubai Summer Surprises.

Best for chilling out: Fairmont The Palm

When Dubai city life gets too hot to handle, beat a retreat to Fairmont The Palm. This popular Palm Jumeirah resort has not one but four temperature-controlled pools, giving you a license to chill.

As a kicker, they’re offering up to 30 per cent off room rates – if you sign up to their loyalty programme, that discount can be as steep as 50 per cent.
