Re: Anyone been to Dubai?
Watch out for them? What for a good deal?
 Im looking on google earth. The palm tree land they are building doesn't look tooooo far away. But looking at pictures, not really much to see still. Im opposite the two towers they have out there? 9th floor, WTC. Scarey ass stuff, its a loooooong ass way to go on your own. How longs the flights out there? I reckon by distance, about 8-10 hours? |

Re: Anyone been to Dubai?
Burj Al Arab hotel. 7 star rating, although I cannot confirm if it is any good.

I have to admit, I have never seen cabin staff move as quick as they did on that flight to kick the door in. When we landed the army came on board to take him and his mate off just as quickly. For hotel out there, I normally use Le Meridien as it is very conveniently located.

Re: Anyone been to Dubai?
I know Im odd and Ive not been to Dubai,but there is just nothing that Ive heard about the place that appeals to me at all.Just a desert spawning a massive man made concrete and glass jungle where everything costs a fortune?Yuk.
A hop across to a safari park in Kenya would do it for me.

Re: Anyone been to Dubai?
Yeah, but if your getting the trip for free, would you turn it down
Can't see the £50 per day allowance lasting me long though

Re: Anyone been to Dubai?
You could certainly pay me to go there.
 Then Id feel much more confidant about slagging the place off.
