In the eyes of those who have not been to Dubai
- conservative place
- can't wear shorts and bikinis
- not safe for women to travel alone
- hot desert with nothing much to see
- people can't speak English
In the eyes of those who have
- the most vibrant, colourful city
- you can see the sea, sand, mountains and city all in the same day
- fantastic shopping
- fancy hotels
- very friendly people
I've fallen in love with Dubai. It's the melting pot of east and west.
Best time to visit : Jan-Feb where the days are pleasantly hot and nights are cool. It's also the Dubai Shopping Festival time. |
