The first thing that jumped on my mind after a few steps around Dubai was: if someone will ever play the second part of "pretty woman", he will play it here.
A city to enjoy without thinking much of what to see and do, just sitting on the seaside smoking shisha and having a mint tea. |
|  | Shopping This seems to be the main activity in the city, a lot of huge shopping mall where to spend your days.
Let's say something: Dubai is not expensive, taxis are cheap food is cheap and even alcohl is not so expensive for a muslim country.
The only expensive thing is accomodation, but with some researches you can find something you can afford, harder than in many other places though. |
Families What surprised me during my flight from Paris to Dubai was the amount of families with kids that did not let me sleep all the trip.
At the beginning I was wondering why all chosed Dubai, then reflecting a bit it seemed to be a wise choice as it is pretty close(5 hours of flight), totally safe, without food problems and with a nice weather. | | |

| Pros: | "safe, weather, shishas, food" | | Cons: | "kitsch, too many cars, an incredible waste of energies for useless stuffs" | | In A Nutshell: | "not the 7 starts they claim they have" |

Handy tips and photos of Dubai. We are passing through Dubai in March on our way to Oman-will spend one day and night in Dubai. It looks a bit 'over the top' for me. I dislike the Burj Al Arab- too ostentatious. but I will love the cruise on the creek. | SLLiew Tue Jul 21, 2009 21:18 UTC
