I had an amazing time globe trotting first stop was Dubai for 2 nights. Emirates Airline were fantastic apart from making you walk through Business Class to get to Economy :-( teasers! We landed at at 7am the sun was beaming the sky's completely clear it certainly woke us up. As Dubai was a stopover I decided to save some pennies and stay in the main city district Bur Dubai in a standard 4 star hotel called the Winchester Grand Deluxe, it was £40 a night per room and included dinner (I found a special rate online) and it was exceptional. The service was great the room gorgeous an absolute bargain. I would most definitely recommend staying in hotels in the city areas rather than the beach areas as basically you have to get a taxi where ever you stay anyway to get to all the different sights and taxis are very cheap. I know what your thinking why go all the way to Dubai and stay in an average hotel not by the beach...... well you can cheat! I booked us a day out at The Atlantis Hotel on The Palm it was £35 per person and we spent the whole day there using the facilities, the water park and the hotels stunning private white sand beach overlooking the whole city and the Burj (so why would you pay £500 per night per room????)
The whole of Dubai just overwhelms you it is so grand, luxurious an Arabian Adventure you never want to end, the skyscrapers are like nothing you expect the detail and thought is spectacular. Truely a superb destination.
Well that's just for starters there is plenty more to come from me, more info about my travels and tips soon.
