Culture & cities holidays from Dubai

Five nights that pair Tbilisi's sulphur-bath old town with a night under Mount Kazbek and a day among the vineyards of Kakheti, all with a private driver.

Three nights in Rome, three in Florence and two in Venice, with timed-entry guided visits to the Colosseum, the Vatican, the Uffizi and St Mark's, a Tuscan day out and fast trains between cities.

Three nights in Sultanahmet for Hagia Sophia, Topkapi and a Bosphorus cruise, then a short flight to Kayseri for three nights in a Cappadocia cave hotel.

Four nights in Tokyo and four in Kyoto, travelling independently with private guides on three days, reserved bullet train seats on the Mt Fuji side and your suitcase sent ahead.

Three nights in Cairo for Giza, Saqqara and the Grand Egyptian Museum, a domestic flight to Aswan, three nights on the Nile past Kom Ombo and Edfu, then the Valley of the Kings and Karnak in Luxor.
