"Dubai in February" Dubai by Cynthia_marie

Dubai

During my stay in Dubai, I visited the Annual Dubai Shopping Festival (Global Village); Dubai Creek; City Centre and 3 of the private resort beaches. Not only is everything luxurious but also beautiful. The weather was on average 27C and the sea was perfect for swimming. I stayed at the Dubai Marine Resort and Spa. All the resorts are expensive; there isn't any way around this; especially during the festival. Taxi's are cheap (compared to Europe).

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:weather; shopping; people; sights; architecture is breathtaking
  • Cons:City Centre is very, very crowded; don't go on a Friday night
  • In a nutshell:Sun Year Round; What more could you ask for!

    Nice to actually learn a few things from a VTer's tips! Good to know about the Internet connection, but I wonder how often the cabbie uses that line? :-)

    Dubai would never have made my "wish list" if not for your extensive descriptions and photos. Very well-done.
