Emirates offers Australians attractive deals for Dubai Summer Surprises 2004

Emirates Airline is offering Australian customers a fantastic opportunity to experience summer fun in Dubai with travel packages that start from as little as US$29.

Emirates' customers can choose from a range of city and beach hotels, three- to five-star including The Fairmont, Grand Hyatt, The Ritz-Carlton and Mina A'Salaam.

Emirates' guests experience the famed Arabian hospitality from the moment they arrive at the Dubai International Airport. They receive personalised meet-and-assist services, are provided a welcome pack from Arabian Adventures and transferred to their hotels in chauffeur-driven cars. At the end of their stay each visitor will receive an additional 10 kilos of free baggage allowance.

Valid from 17th June to 27th August, these packages are available to all Emirates passengers regardless of the class of travel, for a minimum stay of three nights with an option to extend their stay. Prices are on a per-person per-night sharing basis and include all accommodation-related taxes and service charges.

Salem Obaidalla, Emirates' Manager UAE said: "Emirates has put together these unbeatable packages as part of our worldwide drive to bring more overseas visitors to Dubai. Dubai Summer Surprises 2004 (DSS) promises to transform the city, making it the summer fun capital of the world. We have been sponsoring the event since its inception in 1998, underlining our policies that strongly support the Dubai government's trade and tourism initiatives."

Emirates is promoting the event worldwide with a full-scale PR and advertising campaign. In addition, its aircraft will sport the DSS logo on their fuselages, helping spread the message network-wide, which now spans 76 destinations in 54 countries.
