What a destination, What an experience, why go elsewhere.
I first visited Dubai as a stopover to Australia and I have to say I fell in love with the place at first sight. As someone who travels the world I thought I had seen it all, but Dubai was a real eye opener. The moment I stepped off the plane I was amazed. An immaculately presented airport with golden hand rails and covered in marble.

If your staying at a hotel you can ask them to collect you from the airport. They will meet you from the plane and rush you through passport control. Collect your luggage for you and get you to your hotel well ahead of others on your plane.

The city is amazing, whether you want to shop until you drop or just relax at a resort hotel. I always stay at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel and have always been treated exceptionally well. The old section of the city is very interesting with the river market, but take care as there are still a few people that do not take kindly to westerners.

Dubai is not a budget destination, so don't expect to have a good time on limited funds. As an example,the hotel I stay at costs approx £150.00 per night per person.

On departure at the airport, checkout is the same as any other airport, but the shopping and services available within the departure lounge are fantastic. There is a wide range of food outlets and gold sales areas are everywhere. There is plenty of seating throughout the airport and all areas are kept very clean. The only problem I have is why do they always put me at the furthest departure gate to walk to?
