United Arab Emirates Travel Guide

Dubai is indeed a 'Do and Buy' place to be with large shopping malls that you can really shop till you drop. However, I must say that getting around in Dubai is difficult without cabs which can cost a lot if you are on a budget trip. Luckily for me, my hotel is just a few minutes walk to a large shopping mall and I spent my time there before my tour excursion. The sundune dinner I went to was really marvellous. It started off by a short city round about on a jeep before heading further out to the Desert Conservation Reserve. Viewing sunset in the desert is a unique experience.

the dragon mart was an absolute waste of time..its not worth going so far just to see small Chinese stalls half of which are not even open for sale...not worth it!!!

Wherever you stay, proximity to water is a must, whether its the beach or a pool, water is the key to having a cool time in Dubai
