In this episode of The Vacay, we head to dazzling Dubai with travel expert Stacey from Helloworld, unpacking why this city deserves far more than a quick airport layover.

From world-class luxury hotels and unforgettable dining to cultural gems, desert adventures and next-level shopping, Stacey breaks down where to stay, what to see, and how to experience Dubai properly. We explore the neighbourhoods that matter, the must-do experiences (and the overrated ones), and why Dubai surprises even the most seasoned travellers.

Whether you’re planning your first visit or reconsidering Dubai beyond a stopover on the way to Europe, this episode reveals the depth, diversity and sheer wow-factor that makes Dubai a destination in its own right.

In this episode, we cover:


Where to stay in Dubai, from iconic luxury to smart, central bases


The best areas to explore (and how they each feel)


Must-see attractions and unforgettable experiences


Food, culture and moments that go beyond the glitz


Why Dubai works for couples, families and luxury travellers alike


How to turn a short stay into a truly memorable holiday

If you’ve ever thought Dubai was just flashy skyscrapers and shopping malls, think again. This is Dubai, done properly.
