But Paddy didn't look like he had a care in the world on his trip.
In one photo he leaned against a pool bar as a barman fixed drinks behind him.
He tucked into tasty snacks and fresh coconut water on the beach before heading to the city for a night out.
The TV star shared photos of the Dubai skyline, which looked incredible against the night sky.

"Apologies for radio silence but I’m just back from enjoying 5 days of winter Sun in Dubai!!! Full report coming soon but it was gorgeous!" Paddy wrote in the caption.
Fans rushed to the comment section, with one writing: "Glad you had a great time pal"
"Dreamy," another wrote.
"Oooh lovely place for winter sun," a third said.
His break came after news that he had secretly shot a spoof documentary called Paddy - which follows his life as a comedian going through a split.
His estranged wife Christine McGuinness was said to be "devastated" after she found out about the skit.
A pal revealed: “Christine is distraught that their divorce is going to be the butt of the jokes.
"She’s completely broken over the divorce and we are genuinely worried about her.
“Paddy didn’t tell her about the pilot.
"She read about it online.
“She’s kept her head down and remained silent.
"She will have her day, but now isn’t the time.
"She’s working and trying to focus on the kids.
“The fact she had to find out online, like everyone else, that he was doing this has broken her even more.”
It is understood the couple are going through divorce proceedings, but it has not come to court.
Comedian Josh Pugh, 34, who plays a version of himself in the pilot, revealed they filmed at an Airbnb standing in for the McGuinness’ house.
He said: “Paddy McGuinness is doing a spoof documentary of his life and in that documentary he is mentoring me as a stand-up. It’s about his divorce. It was a very strange couple of days.”

A source close to Paddy said: “The mockumentary is going to be a heightened sense of reality and a funny take on the industry he’s in.
"The main focus is the stand-up circuit, not his divorce."
