Well I have been asked a few questions about Dubai in the last year and my parents have asked that I send out a blog of things that you may or may not hear about if you wanted to come over. So this is what I can tell you, which may help or may not.
Dubai is a fantastic place to come visit, you can buy everything here. If you want a warranty then you can get it (whatever you want) at a mall, there are 9 now and 4-5 more on the way that of course will be the biggest in the world. But future projects is not what I wan
t to write about. So if you came here tomorrow you would be able to find all kinds of accommodation from about $100 us a night up to I think the Royal suite in the Burj goes for about $20 000 a night. There is an enormous amount of accommodation though, I think the hardest part would be deciding where to stay. I have heard that Expedia has good rates for hotels in Dubai. There is every kind of dining experience you can imagine here, I have paid $2 US for a meal that I could not finish and I have paid $50 for one that left me hungry. It all depends on where you want to eat an how fancy of a place you choose, but again the possibilities are endless.
I have been asked a few times if Dubai is Handicapped accessible and I have say yes for the most part, the locals all take elevators or escalators everywhere so anywhere you want to go is accessible. There are cabs available for it too but they are few and far between that part maybe a bit more difficult but for about $100 a day you can hire a personal driver that will be on call for you for 10 hours.
Again there is a ton of things to do and if you go to any book store in a mall there are guides in books that can show you everything you ever could want to do. The beaches are amazing, they are large long beaches, even the free ones are really nice. If you decide to pay for a beach it is not very expensive and you usually can be more relaxed on them in terms of being conservative. There is also usually a chair service for a nominal fee availab
le too.
the driving around the Emirate and even UAE is quite easy and very beautiful to go out into the desert on the highways. There are lots of camels that roam around and you can take some really interesting pictures of them too.
I hope this helps with some of the questions people have been asking. if you have more please feel free to e-mail me at cehegge@gmail.com and I will be happy to answer what I know about the Gulf.
The airport is a bear to come through FYI, passport control is fast but usually it is a 30min to an hour wait in line.
hope this helps.
oh by the way it is now over 40 degrees Celsius in the daytime (104 roughly for the Americans) and getting hotter. the better time to come to the Gulf is between October and April it is 30 and below for the most part between those times of the year.
Have a happy day all.
