Travelling is about collecting moments in time. Moments which become embedded in your mind forever

to reflect upon for the rest of your years. Each moment forms the core of a story about your travels to

share with your friends and family. Each one of us has our own moments we take home from our travels:

a special dinner, an incredible hotel, a stunning sight, an amazing journey… but more often than not it is

the interaction and engagement with locals and like-minded travellers which makes the biggest impression

on us during our travels.

Our role at Tempo Holidays is to create opportunities for you to experience your very own moments, on

your own journey. We have been fulfilling this role for over 25 years building a portfolio of ready-made and

tailor-made holidays for travellers. You can choose between holidaying independently for freedom and

flexibility or to travel with a group for convenience and comfort.

We started Tempo from humble beginnings in 1990 as Ya’lla Tours – a customer-centric destination specialist.

Today we have a global footprint extending deep into destinations from India to Latin America via Europe

and the Middle East, always hand-in-hand with our local partners and friends. We’re proud of our abilities

to create and arrange amazing holidays. We’re proud of our experienced and knowledgeable team of

destination specialists. But we are most proud that the singularly most important element of our business

remains the same – we are committed to you as a customer–centric travel specialist.

I have travelled independently; as a member of groups and with my own family in many different

destinations and I often reflect on the moments from my travels that continue to inspire me. This year I am

thrilled to be building on our core foundation from our Ya’lla Tours days with an expanded product range

and in-depth travel solution across the Middle Eastern region. The region is rich in culture, amazing people

and beautiful sites and our on ground teams offer the security and comfort gained with over 25 years’

experience. The region will continue to delight you as there is so much to explore from stop over packages

to detailed personal independent and group travel options.

All of our new journeys, our long-standing favourite trips and newly expanded holidays are designed and

created in partnership with some of the most experienced and creative local teams in the region who share

our commitment to surprise and delight you on your own next journey.

Please take the time to open your heart and mind to this selection of wonderful travel experiences and let

us work with you to create your own new moments to reflect upon and be inspired by for many years to

come. To help get you there our expert team offer you this range of ready-made holidays and independent

journeys. Or a combination of both. They are designed to be holidays full of experience, engagement and

enjoyment with your safety and convenience always in mind so that all you need to do is choose, book and

immerse yourself in your next holiday in this amazing part of the world.

Welcome to Tempo Holidays.

RAMADAN In the Islamic faith, Ramadan is a month dedicated to fasting, worship and spiritual reflection. In 2017 Ramadan runs from 27 May to 25 June. During this period, restrictions apply to the consumption of food and alcohol, business hours can become erratic and tour schedules may be affected. Restrictions during Ramadan do not usually apply to non-Muslims staying at hotels, but may effect live entertainment, dancing in nightclubs and the serving of alcohol in public venues.

WHY CHOOSE UAE? From desert adventure, pristine beaches, incredible shopping, world class restaurants, amazing architecture to intriguing culture, the UAE has something to suit all interests and budgets. Dubai is the main draw, a city of iconic skyscrapers, city sized shopping malls and dream like visions that have been realised. However, don’t forget the diversity of all the seven emirates that make up the UAE, each offering its own unique character and charm. So if you have a chance, get out and explore.

WHEN TO TRAVEL? November – April are the cooler months with temperatures around 20˚C to 30˚C. The skies are also generally clearer and these are the most popular months to visit. During the summer, July – September, temperatures average more than 40˚C, however this is when you will find the best accommodation offers and the UAE is well prepared for the hot weather and air-conditioning is always close by.

DUBAIIt’s hard not to stand in awe at the extraordinary architectural wonders that create this incredible city. Dubai is made up of a mosaic of different areas, each with its own unique charm and character, from wandering the historic souks to the magnificent Palm Island, you need time to explore, to enthrall your senses and engage in some of the world class activities Dubai has to offer. With many more grand projects opening in 2016, it really has to be seen to be believed.

1|DEIRAColourful wooden Dhow boats line the Deira side of Dubai Creek, the nearby souks filled with commotion as the goods from across the Arabian Sea are traded and haggled over. Atmospheric and historic Deira is a far cry from the sleek skyscrapers of Downtown and Sheikh Zayed Road, however this is where you can experience what Dubai was once like and try your hand at haggling.

2|BURDUBAIThe West bank of the Creek is where Dubai was first settled, it is here that you can take a journey back into Dubai’s past. Wander the restored historic districts which cluster around the creek of Al Fahidi and Shindagha, passing through the tangle of narrow streets and sand coloured houses with wind towers and local eateries. Pass through the atmospheric Bur Dubai Souk and spend time exploring the Dubai Museum to learn about Dubai’s extraordinary development.

3|PALMISLANDAn audacious and awe-inspiring engineering feat brings Dubai’s most iconic address. Dubai’s Palm Island is the largest artificial island on earth and home to Dubai’s best seaside resorts. Headed by the iconic Atlantis the Palm, this is a great place for families and couples alike to escape the bustling metropolis of Dubai.

4|DUBAIMARINAThe Walk JBR (Jumeirah Beach Residence) is a bustling beachfront promenade boasting ‘The Beach’, an exciting precinct offering a variety of shopping and entertainment outlets, along with sprawling beach resorts each flaunting top end restaurants and nightclubs. The nearby Marina Walk offers the finest shops, late night lounges and trend-setting restaurants and is home to the Dubai Marina Mall.

5|MALLOFTHEEMIRATES–ALBARSHAMall of the Emirates on Sheikh Zayed Road is one of Dubai’s premier Malls. The multi-level city sized mall is home to over 560 international brands in over 700 stores as well as a world of entertainment including Ski-Dubai – the Middle East’s first indoor ski resort and snow park. Scattered close by are numerous good value accommodation options.

6|DOWNTOWNDowntown Dubai is one of the city’s most exclusive areas, a vibrant and urban hub and key destination for visitors. The pinnacle and focal points of Downtown are the world’s tallest building, Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall, the world’s largest shopping mall. In the surrounding lake the Dubai fountain bursts into a choreographed dance and music show in the evenings.

7|FESTIVALCITYConveniently located within a 10 minute drive from Dubai airport, this area surrounds the Dubai Festival City, home to more than 370 retail stores and 90 restaurants, cafés and bistros. Set on the historic Dubai Creek, it’s the perfect place for a short stopover or an extended stay.

8|SHEIKHZAYEDROADHousing some of Dubai’s most architecturally distinguished skyscrapers, Sheikh Zayed Road is also Dubai’s main transport artery. A great place in which to explore from; both Downtown and Bur Dubai are only a couple of stops on the Metro which runs the length of Sheikh Zayed Road.

9|JUMEIRAHBEACHStretching for many kilometres from Port Rashid to as far as the iconic Burj Al Arab and the Jumeirah Madinat, a modern Arabian souk surrounded by Venetian style canals, wind towers, quality restaurants and high end resorts. This is Dubai’s answer to Bondi or the Costa del Sol.

24 hoUr chEck-InThe 24 hour check-In symbol located on select hotels featured in our brochure means that your room will be available from the time your flight arrives into Dubai, especially useful if arriving first thing in the morning. The room is yours till the same time on day of check out, perfect for those then continuing to Europe on the early morning flights. Note: Not available year round on all properties.

ONE&ONLy ROyAL mIRAGE 5Hone&only Royal Mirage pays tribute to Arabian architecture and hospitality on a truly regal scale. Considered Dubai’s most stylish and romantic beach resort, it rests on a kilometre of private coastline nestled in 65 acres of landscaped gardens. The resort is composed of 3 distinctive environments – each flowing into the next to ignite the senses: The Palace, Arabian Court and Residence & Spa.

THE PALAcEFrom$415*The Palace conjures the magic of Arabia, a domain where guests may wander amidst the abundant gardens or stroll amongst the meandering water features. All rooms and suites reflect contemporary elegance with an Arabesque sense of place, offering the latest in modern technology and comfort. The property is generous, with 231 guest rooms and suites, on a private beach that offers rich leisure facilities, such as the impressive temperature-controlled swimming pools, water sports centre, tennis courts, golf putting green, ‘Kidsonly’ children’s facilities and, most importantly, a tranquil haven for rest and relaxation.

ARABIAN cOURTFrom$415*Arabian Court is crafted in the spirit of the orient with dramatic architecture creating symmetry, amidst a landscape of fountains, walkways and lush gardens. The subtly angled entrance leads to the impressive Grand Gallery, the vertebrae of the hotel that links the two wings of the property and guides guests towards the 162 charismatic guest rooms and 10 elaborately styled suites, all of which face the sea, with private balcony or garden patio. The three restaurants and their lounges thrive on individuality. These include a journey from the grand kitchens of the past, to a modern voyage through the eclectics and vibrancy of the Near East and beyond.

RESIDENcE & SPAFrom$537*Residence&Spa,amemberof“TheLeadingHotelsoftheWorld”,isanintimatesanctuaryforthosewhowishtolanguishinthecomfort of prosperity.

Charming and enticing, this elegant haven is linked to the discreet reception, private restaurant and lounge. The secluded gardens, pool and private beach offer an exclusive harbour, in which pampering is the predominant indulgence. The shaded ‘gazebos’ on the pool deck provide solitude amidst the palm trees and water fountains, with the sound of the Arabian Gulf rolling ashore.

Within the elegant entrance courtyard of Residence & Spa lies the Health & Beauty Institute. Architecturally impressive and reminiscent of the great buildings of the region, towering domes, carved arches and the intricate design, it captures the values of the environs and ensures each experience is totally distinctive and ceremonial. The oriental Hamman and one&only Spa offer a service that is dedicated to nurturing beauty and the pursuit of well-being.

AccOMMOdATION STANdARdSHotels are generally selected for location, facilities and value. In more remote areas we may need to use basic accommodation which is regarded as ‘best available’. Classifications are based on assessments provided by touristauthorities in the countries concerned and reflect the type of facilities offered, rather than denoting a style of hotel. Photographs are intended to give a general impression only and city maps are only a guide to the location of the hotel.

HOTEL FAcILITIESThe mention of facilities such as parking, gyms, saunas etc does not imply that the use of these is free. Where charges apply, they will be payable locally (unless otherwise specified). Tea and coffee making facilities in rooms are the exception rather than the rule. Swimming pools, heating and air-conditioning are not necessarily available all year round.

BEddING cONFIGURATIONPrices are based on lead-in twin share accommodation, unless otherwise stated. Requests for specific bedding types must be made at the time of booking, but are not guaranteed. Double rooms may have either twin or double beds. It is common practice to link two single beds together to use as a double bed. Single rooms are often smaller than other rooms and may contain a single bed. Triple rooms usually consist of a twin or double bedded room with an additional sofa bed, folding bed or rollaway for the third person – the room may be cramped as a result. In villas and apartments the bedding configuration is as advised at the time of publication or booking, and is subject to change. Multiple bedrooms in villas, apartments or similar does not infer that these rooms afford total privacy.

TRAvELLING wITH cHILdRENWhere a child shares a room with two paying adults and stays free, an extra bedmaynotbesuppliedandthechildcouldbeexpectedtoshareanadult’sbed. Additional charges may be levied and paid directly for child meals. Where a child discount rate is applied the child receives a bed, normally a rollaway. When children stay in a room without two adults the adult charge may apply.

Special requests, such as wheelchair suitable accommodation and touring, ground floor rooms, cabins or limited step access, must be made to us in writing by your travel agent, and confirmed by us in writing; otherwise any such requests cannot be guaranteed.

Cancellations of confirmed services must be notified through Tempo Holidays even if you have advised the local representative.

If you are unhappy with your hotel room or cabin please inform the duty manager so the situation may be rectified on the spot. If you fail to take these steps any claim to compensation may be reduced or denied. If you have an unresolved complaint this should be put to us in writing detailing the efforts that were made with the local operator to resolve the issue. Please send this with supporting documentation, via your travel agent, within 30 days of the date of the service. No claim made after this period will be considered.
