EU Holidays’ customers will get to experience the majestic Swiss Alps and Dubai, with its ultra-modern city and fine deserts, in one trip.

This time, EU Holidays takes a step further to bring the best of Dubai and Europe to every traveller’s doorstep in a special collaboration with Dubai Tourism.
With selected packages, customers get to experience the delightful combination of “two-seasons-in-one” holidays, where the majestic mountains of the Swiss Alps in Switzerland and the fine desert of Dubai are combined in one trip.
Not only do customers get to fly on world-class airlines, they will also have the opportunity to stay in Dubai’s finest five-star hotels located in the heart of the city.
Family fun at every turn
Family fun at every turnDubai, the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates, is a wonderful destination for families seeking an oasis of fun or couples looking for an adventure together.
Step right into a winter wonderland at Ski Dubai in the Mall of the Emirates, one of Dubai’s landmark attractions.
As the Middle East’s first indoor ski resort, the 22,500 sq ft arena features an 85m-high indoor mountain with five slopes of varying steepness and difficulty.
Parents can be challenged by the world’s first indoor 400m “black run” [for more expert skiers] while children can have a ball at the Snow Park with an icy body slide, climbing towers, giant snowballs and an ice cave.
For a splashing good time, head to Aquaventure Waterpark at Atlantis The Palm, that is packed with world-first
and record-breaking rides, including The Leap of Faith.
The ride is a 9m-tall mega slide that will hurtle you down its near-vertical drop in a mere second, followed by speeding through a clear, acrylic tube surrounded by numerous sharks and cownose rays.
After which, kick back and shop to your heart’s content at The Dubai Mall and traditional souks. The latter offers a dazzling array of jewellery and fragrant spices, herbs and perfumed oils.
