last month march i come from Dubai. Dubai is the second largest and second wealthiest of the seven emirates in the United Arab Emirates.Its amazing modern Structure, luxury Hotels and other best fun places encourage Travelers. Atlantis Dubai Hotel is also one of the best attractive hotel as i know.

Yup, Dubai is nice and modern.


I was there for a meeting early part of this year. Cool weather.

Around Jumeirah Beach is nice. I stayed in the Sofitel.

Desert Safari was fun!

Yes dubai owns the most modern and biggest hotels. In this case no one can beat them.

agree that the hotels are nice but the place...is 'fake' and the service is lousy.


desert safari is so-so

Personally, i don't like the place at all.

[rydy]

I think most modern up and coming cities are somewhat ‘fake’ or man made.


Desert safari.
We were 80 people from the worldwide offices. Convo of 20 SUVs. Cool weather 15C and great company. Food passable though.
It was a collective feel good outing hence it was fun.
I do admire the driver’s skill to navigate some rather high sand dunes.

Dubai is lovely, but please don't go between May to Aug where it's among the hottest period. Temperature can go as high as 50 deg cel during the day. Best time during winter between Dec to Feb as weather will be cooler.


Can try skiing at their man-made Indoor Ski Resort, take an exciting Dune Ride, go on a Camel Ride or have a Campfire BBQ in the middle of the Desert... :love:

Thanks
