The United Arab Emirates was a surprise for us, we did enjoy our stay though not in the beginning! We got stranded at Abu Dhabi Airport for a day then was transfered to the Holiday Inn then at the posh Golden Tulip Al Jazira Resort and Marina which proved to be a magical place. We toured Dubai and had changed our views of the place and the friendly service people who were mostly Filipinos so we were pampered for a few days. Despite our ordeal, having our London and Paris plans not materialising, the stay at UAE was pleasant in the end still. We did lose out on many hours of sleep, got lots of anxious time of undcertainties but in the end we loved the uAE, especially Dubai!
- Pros:Modern facilities and buildings, friendly & efficient locals (mostly)
- Cons:the stinky hot weather, not much choices for dining in some areas
- In a nutshell:UAE is absolutely a must visit place, if you can take the heat!
