Durban: Emirates Holidays' next stop

John Felix, Senior Vice President of Emirates Holidays said:

"Durban is a fabulous place to visit and is increasing in popularity because it has so much to offer in terms of things to see and do. Emirates Holidays' special packages, celebrating the launch of Emirates' first non-stop flight to Durban, make it easier than ever to travel to this new must-visit South African destination."

Dubai to Durban made easy

A lively year-round holiday destination, Durban offers something for everyone - whether it's nightlife, surfing, culture, shopping or just chilling out on the spectacular beach. There is a wide variety of things to see and do - check out the uShaka Marine World, a state of the art aquarium in a gigantic shipwreck; marvel at the magnificent scenery of the Drakensberg Mountains and the Valley of a Thousand Hills; visit the historic City Hall with the Natural History Museum; or go to the Sharks Board in Umhlanga for interesting and educational exhibits on sharks.

For something a little different, take a trip to the Zulu cultural villages, tour the townships, visit the beautiful Temple of Understanding, or visit Inanda, where Mahatma Ghandi lived at the time that the African National Congress and the Shembe religion were being formed.

Emirates Holidays is offering packages to Durban from Dubai. This includes flying Economy Class with Emirates airline, three nights accommodation at the Hilton Hotel in a Standard Room on a twin-sharing basis, breakfast, meet and assist on arrival as well as return private car transfers from and to Durban airport.
