This really is a place that everyone should make it they're business to visit at least once. There's so much to please everyone from terrific beaches, guaranteed sunshine, incredible shopping and a somewhat surprisingly good nightlife. For instance one day you can go skiing at ski dubai which is great fun albeit pretty cold and the next day go on a desert safari and ride quad bikes through the sand, which in the peak of summer can get very hot indeed. One thing i would certainly do is make time to have a meal at the Burj Al Arab, it's certainly not cheap but it is an experience you will never forget.

We have just return from Dubai. Its a great destination for Europeans. Its a Paradise in UAE. Dont take a lot of personal things with you you can byu them there for nothing. Very cheap life all big brands. Excellent food!!!!
Dont forget to do safari in desert!!!!

We stayed in Dubai because of a fishing trip. In the Persian gulf we went for Sailfish and Bulsharks. (Al we got was some Barracuda's Wahoo's and Groupers) Fishing was not that good. But even better that the rest of Dubai. For me a day at sea catching nothing was more exiting than a day on land in Dubai. This city is absolutely nothing. This is the next investers bubble to pop. The only reason to go there is to sell what ever property you have there and get out.

I was in Dubai for a week in May 2007. It was amazing how easy it was to get through immigrations and on to your hotel. People were extremely polite in the hotel, however, not openly friendly. I think the entire time I was there, one person asked if my clothing were my traditional clothing and was I from Cameroon? The hotel Le Meridien Minah Sayahi was amazing, and finally on Thursday, a crowd appeared at the hotel's night spot. Friday, the normal day of worship many places didnot open until noon, however, the great Mall of Emirates actually has an artificial ski slope and a lot of people with lots of money, so if you're's is small, research how you will enjoy Dubai. There is a law against drinking without a license, yet, guest drink in the hotels and clubs. Women are covered with hijab and abaya, but underneath they dress normal like anywhere else. Actually, it is quite beautiful, as one man explained, the women covered is very alluring because as a man, he always wants to see "what is in the package." The currency rate was 3.57 durhams to $1.00 and too my surprise, you're atm card works but only durhams come out of the machine. I bought a high tech cell phone that played the Arabic call to prayer until I figured out how to turn it off. But it is relatively easy to get around and very safe. It's defintely a "must see!"
