Travel Man: 48 Hours In
48 Hours In Dubai
Season 2 of 8
Richard Ayoade stretches the description of the mini break to the limit as he heads to the United Arab Emirates, and the oil-rich city of Dubai. Joining him on this affront to austerity is actor and comedian Johnny Vegas. Richard chooses all-out luxury by checking into the Atlantis Hotel, on the world's largest man-made island, The Palm. His suite has five balconies. The luxury continues with a city tour by seaplane and the world's most expensive ice cream, topped with flakes of real gold. Richard takes Johnny to the biggest shopping centre in the world, where they have a camel sandwich and a camelccino. They also visit the observation deck of the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, and drive a dune buggy in the desert. Exec Prod: Steve Gowans; Series Prod: Chris Richards; Prod Co: North One
