Dubai's Internet Cafes
by najamrulz
Dubai has some wonderful internet cafes. Their per hour rates range from AED 2 to 30. Most of the good cafes charge AED 5 per hour. Each computer has attached scanner, printer and webcam.Some cafes also have snacks and juices facility available.
Some of shopping malls such as City Centre, Bur Juman and Lamcy Plaza etc. also have internet cafes. Charges in these cafes are usually more than the normal rates. I paid AED 25 for one hour internet usage in cafe located in City Centre. The best part is the great browsing and uploading speed available in Dubai. I really enjoyed using Internet in Dubai for the same reason.
NOT MUCH

Normal If running short of these items...shopping is a delight in Dubai. Rather bring less with you so you can fill up your suitcases with real bargains. Easily Available NO PROBLEM WITH THIS....AS THE LATEST IS AVAILABLE HERE AT A BETTER PRICE THAN BACK HOME.
Techie stuff
by Quero about Al Ain Centre
This is where many local residents buy their electronic and computer gear. There are lots of shops, prices are competitive, and the products hit the shelves here before they reach many other places around the world. As one local explained it: people in Dubai have the money to stay up to the minute with their computer and electronic equipment. Retailers in other countries wait and see if an item is going to sell elsewhere before they stock it. Well, you know what you're looking for. One suggestion: an external hard drive that serves as a photo bank (40 GB memory like the one I keep my pix on to avoid computer clog).
Viva Cuba Libre!!
by miso80 about The Malecon
This place completely reminded me of London's Cuba Libre...Although the exterior of this place can be anything but alluring...once you manage to walk into this place -- after queuing up on weekends for an ID check -- then you will find yourself inside a the high ceiling, blue painted walls with cuban slogans and pictures plastered over them, and the parquet floor, with the live band singing to the blaring salsa music...People literally are all over the place.
If you walk in the early hours (9-ish) then you'll probably get to find a place at the bar, and there won't be too many couples dancing..just a few doing their little salsa moves, or simply moving to their own choreography..but as the night progresses, the crowd grows bigger, and the music changes..you can hear anything from R&B to arabic music..I even noticed that the general age decreases..
Personally, I'd consider going to this place for dinner on a weekday...since on the weekend, you're not likely to get any decent conversation with the loud music and the large crowd. But if you're into dancing..sipping on some mojitos and martinis and enjoying the life of the crowd, then do go there on a weekend and have a great time :)
They serve typical Cuban cuisine and a fusion of international dishes. smart casual
Dubai Airport
by Airpunk
Dubai’s international airport is a very modern one and its home carrier Emirates is doing the best to fill it.Unfortunately, Emirates is doing its job far too good so that the airport is always crowded, no matter at which time of the day. That’s why construction works are going on to expand the current structures.But even this is not enough so that a second airport is currently being constructed at Jebel Ali to the east of Dubai city. Right now,I would like to recommend to be early at the airport. Expect long queues at the check-in desks and security control areas. The process is not going really slow like in other places I have seen, it’s just that there are far too many passengers. The distances are also quite long and the security checks numerous, so please plan at least an hour from check.in to your gate or you may be denied boarding just because you arrived too late at your gate. After you have passed all the checks and controls, you’ll find a huge,crowded building with many shops, restaurants and all facilities you will expect at any airport. Toilets and showers are always clean, but also always crowded. The same goes for the shops, most of which are open 24 hours. As I said, it doesn’t matter at which time of the day you are arriving or departing here. The airport is always full and traffic does not stop just because it’s night.
