Not Uber related but...

I'm going on holiday to Dubai with the family next week in the hope of taking a nice break and enjoying the weather.

Has anyone been to Dubai before? Any experiences/tips to share?

Are you gonna try Ubercopter?

Apparently it's like 48 Celsius and if your wife/ gf shows her elbows in public you both are gonna be arested !
Ps: NEVER leave her alone in Dubai !

Temperatures similar to Death Valley then...

What's the hotel room and dining costs like in Dubai fully synthetic? Also travelling costs like cabs/tours

Never been there before but wouldn't mind stopping off for a week on my way over to Vietnam in January

Sun chao Mr Hogster.
I love Pho.
Always there in January- I take it your flying Emirates Mr Hogster.
Beautiful country- beautiful people.
Can't help you with Dubai other than thank god for smoking rooms in airports.

Been a couple of times. The taxis used to try and rip u off when they realised u was a foreigner. But now that uber is there they can't rip u off nomore. It's a nice place. Depending on where u go in dubai.

I advise Atlantis hotel

I've heard Emirates is up there with the best Airlines so I'll check out their flights.
Will be good to break up the journey rather than doing a long flight on Cathay Pacific to HK and then the short hop on to Hanoi

Had 5 days in Hanoi, Halong Bay and 3 Caves about 18 months ago and yeah the people were welcoming & very helpful.
Need to see some more of that lovely country.

Thanks UberGeezer, will check out the Atlantis hotel in Dubai.
It's new territory for me and I need to check out some info on the area too.
Sorry for butting in on your thread Uberupnorth
Hope you and your family have a great trip to Dubai too

No worries I've heard about the ladies clothing expectations there, 'er indoors will have to go with the local culture for a few days.

I think most, if not all countries have done something in their past which would upset someone else in the rest of the world.
To be honest I would not let it stop me taking a holiday there, but it would stop me staying or living in a place long term.

No problem Hogster- your wisdom and experience is always appreciated

Would like to... Have you any experience?

Heard a lot of positive things about Emirates- we'll see how they fare next week.

No but I've heard from customers who used it in South Africa. If you party- party hard

Dubai is like a theme park You will be amazed at what you see there. Let's just say the Arabs they spent a lot of money on that desert city.

Its not strict as people make it out.

You're a bit confused dubai isn't in Saudi Arabia, it's in United Arab Emirates. Your wife can show whatever she wants if you're happy with that.

Never say 'Do buy' to your wife under any circumstances unless you want an empty bank account.
