We recommend that clients should arrive in Dubai at least two days before their treatment is carried out. Dubai is an exciting city and you will want to make the most of everything it has to offer. Following your procedure we strongly recommend a few days of relaxing recuperation before returning home a new person. See recuperation times.

Dubai Surgery can organise city tours taking in the magnificent Dubai Creek, astonishing coastline, the famous gold souk and, of course, the world’s largest shopping malls. Dubai has fully embraced upmarket spa culture and there are a range of centres that can match all budgets from six-star luxury at Burj Al Arab to good value Chinese therapies at the House of Chi.

If you are feeling adventurous you can go on a desert safari, take a boat trip or visit one of the city’s neighbouring Arabian emirates. For sport lovers there is the option of playing golf at Dubai’s world class courses (home of the international Desert Classic), diving, deep sea fishing, horse riding and every other activity you would expect from a five-star holiday destination.

Alternatively you may just want to simply relax at one of the city’s famous beach clubs. These range from the family-orientated clubs of Dubai Marine and Meridien Mina Seyahi to the upmarket Ritz-Carlton and Jumeirah Beach Club (where the England football team relaxed with their wives prior to playing in the last World Club).

During the night the options are endless. Dubai’s restaurants cover all cuisines and are regarded as the best in the world. From the famous Gordon Ramsay signature restaurants Verre and the Glasshouse at the Hilton Creek to the Sheraton’s Vivaldi Italian restaurant and the casual dining options at the Wafi Centre there is a menu to suit every taste.

Dubai enjoys a very liberal and dynamic nightlife. Bars and clubs are mainly based in hotels and offer a rich diversity of choice. Depending on your mood you can enjoy the sophisticated lounge ambience of Chameleon close to Planet Hollywood or the cutting edge music of recently opened club Trilogy at Madinat. Relaxing creekside and seafront bars compete for business with city clubs and lounges.
