Hello

I've been to Dubai. A really nice place. Watch out for the Russian prostitutes though!

I was lucky enough to have my cousin who was an air stewardess based in Dubai, so she showed me around.

Most of the bars / clubs of full of interesting people, and it's a relatively safe place.

Steve.

gravelexpress,

Been there loads of times, its fantastic.

Go to SpiceIsland, all you can eat and drink for £26. Choice of seven cuisines including sea, thai, indian, chinese, mongolian, mexican and one more I can't remember.
The Irish village is also good.

Enjoy,

Craig.

if you're into gold, then get down to the gold souk. or go on one of the many 4x4 desert/dune-bashing excursions - great fun. book a place on the dhow that cuises up and down the creek - the one with the restaurant on board...awesome experience at night...

Hello

Yes, I forgot about that! Dinner in the middle of the desert, after being driven there very roughly in a jeep across the dunes.

The ultimate "kidnap" experience!

Steve.

Take a drive across to Snoopy Island. Funniest looking piece of rock I've ever seen and great snorkling as well.

2 places to check out: -

The Alamo. Tex-Mex restaurant at the Dubai Marine Beach Resort Hotel.

The nightclub @ the Metropolitan hotel.

Just avoid the hookers. Even I managed that
