In a nutshell
It's too new and sterile - but it certainly grows onto you!
16 Reviews The public beach is the beach pretty much next door to the burj al arab and the jumeirah beach hotel. Just ask the taxi to take you to Jumeirah Beach Or JBR (the new development with a public beach near the hilton) The beach is white sand with a very docile water front. The views from here are...
14 Reviews The Creek is the reason Dubai exists - it's where the first settlement was built and was the driving force behind the early pearl trade with the outside world. Go onto Deira side, from where the traditional wooden dhows still trade with the sub-continent, Iran, east Africa, and you'll see all...
18 Reviews The Wild Wadi is a great waterpark with a great location right by the famous Burj al Arab and Jumeirah Beach hotels. A great way to spend the day. Although, if you travel during the hot summer months when temperatures are regularly in the mid 40s, care is needed to prevent a doze of sun stroke or...
8 Reviews %The buses are modern, air-conditioned, a mixture of single & double-deckers and 'bendy buses'. There are currently over 60 routes and with hundreds more buses on order the network is constantly expanding. Air-conditioned bus stops, the first in the world, are sited around the city to make waiting...
25 Reviews Dubai has a fleet of modern air-conditioned, metered taxis, clean and well-maintained, strictly regulated, the drivers in uniform. They are all a sandy-beige colour with a coloured roof (red, green, blue, yellow, orange) denoting the company. There are special ladies-only taxis, which have pink...
12 Reviews The gold souk is more than 130 shops all jam-packed with a breathtaking choice of jewellery. The gold is generally 18 carat and sometimes 22 or 24, styles range from Indian to traditional Arab to modern Italian. In my opinion tourism has spoiled the souk somewhat - all the shops used to be crammed...
9 Reviews You certainly will be able to get some bargains at the 2 Dhs & 5 Dhs shops which are common in Dubai. As the things are cheap you might end up buying more than you planned for. Make sure you don't go over board, why not ?? Just get there and go over board you might find some nice little gifts to...
3 Reviews Home to a lot of Dubai's Indian, Pakistani and Filipino residents, the Karama neighborhood is always buzzing day and night. Terraced shops selling brand name rip-offs, sunglasses, T-shirts, sneakers, shorts, shoes and souvenirs stretch down the long main street -- you'll need a good half day to...
2 Reviews First of all Dubai is a Safe City. The warning here is for Ladies, There are alot of people in Dubai they can't diffrentiate between a Pros.. and Descent ladies and here were the problem starts.

3 Reviews What a bummer. When we went to Jumeirah Park Beach for a day in the sun and just to relax I was stopped at the entrance and the woman who was charghing entry fee was quite uppset at me and pointing at the board on the sidewalk and screaming "ladies day, ladies day" in bad english. Fortunally we were...

1 Review The theme is a cross between snowboarding and beach activities. However, there is no snow and there is no beach. -------------------------------------- They will pick you up from your hotel in the early morning. The drive takes you to some of the most beautiful sand dunes of the deserts in Dubai....
