The rooms of Burj al Arab
by Erkmen
I have stayed in many hotels.. some are very luxurious, some are big.. but when I saw the rooms of Burj al Arab, other rooms have disappeared from my mind..
Each room has double floors.. Approx... 300 m2.. While many hotels are offering a room of 30m2, this hotel has a room of 10 times bigger..
when you first enter the room you see the working desk, where there is a laptop and free internet connection, a fax machine and other office products..and in front is the digital Flat Tv..

The best Shopping center in Dubai
by fareleira about Deira City Centre
Deira is a big shopping center and from it's 300 shops comes a lot of diferent articles.
Inside there's 3 major stores, a Carrefour supermarket, a Ikea shop and a Debenhams with 2 floors.
In Deira is always a crowd of people, we were told that is the best shopping center in Dubai.
There's a cinema inside with 11 screens, CityWalk is a food court, a Virgin Megastore and a Lexus and Toyota cars showroom
When you come inside there's a map of the place and it should be a take away copy too, it helps a lot it's huge. Inside Carrefour you will find everything or go for eletronics and clothes or just hang around and have a coffe in one of the cafes thers's at least one in every corner.
Opening hours 1000 - 2200
Fridays 1400 - 2200 Prices go all the way up, just remember the price of what you want to buy back home so you don't pay more. Prices ca be ok but some things can cost around the same or more, i saw some cases.
Fantastic Atmosphere, Bad Food
by nattybabe about The Malecon
The Malecon is located at Dubai Marine Resort off Jumeriah Beach Road near the Jumeriah Mosque. A Cuban themed restaurant it has a separate bar area in which you can drink, chat (and smoke), the restaurant area where you can obviously eat, a dance floor to dance to the irresistible Cuban beats and a lounge area to just chill out and watch the dancing.
There are good and bad things about the Malecon in my opinion. The atmosphere is great and even those (like me) who are challenged in the dancing department feel the need to shake their hips Shakera style on the dance floor amongst the obviously well trained professionals. The good thing is it doesn't matter if you can dance or not, you're there to have fun and no one feels intimidated! The cocktail and wine lists are comprehensive and fairly reasonably priced (AED34 for a strawberry daiquiri) and Tuesday is ladies night after 10pm with 4 free drink vouchers handed out.
The only thing that let me down at the Malecon was the food. Although some in my group said that their meal was nice, both my starter and main were bland and I was told that the Rib Eye was bad too. My advice? Perhaps just go to the Malecon for some drinks and dancing rather than dinner and you'll have a great night!
P.S. Don't be put off by the "graffiti" all over the walls, it's obviously just a decorating style they have adopted along with the Castro pictures and flags on the wall. Cuban!
No Fuss family restaurant
by kelhan about Automatic
This no fuss family restaurant was perfect for our first evening meal in Dubai. Just around the corner from our hotel, we shared big platters of fresh food. Salad, vegetables, dip, dolmades. And pomegranate juice - yum!
