Breakfast in bed
Staying in the plush Suite 2121 at the
InterContinental Dubai Festival City, wake
to a lavish breakfast comprising succulent
fruits, French pastries, freshly squeezed
orange juice and the finest coffee.
Alternatively, opt for a delicious hot
breakfast with poached, scrambled or fried
eggs, the perfect start to an adrenaline-
fuelled, action-packed day.
08.30-09.00
Suit yourself
As you finish the last of your morning
coffee have a local tailor visit your suite and
measure your vital statistics before he
runs-off a hand stitched, bespoke linen suit
or, in true 007 style, a tuxedo and
cummerbund. Call Dunhill on
