I'm looking to go there for my Anniversary. I would like to know if it's better staying on Palm Jumeirah or Downtown area. Should you hire a driver, Uber or rental car. Best things to do while there.

Dubai seems cool but there are probably 100 places Id rather go

Any particular reason?

It’s a shame we don’t have a Travel Board

Go next door to Oman instead. Dubai is cool, but it’s a big city. Travel that far, you might as well experience the culture.

dunno, but we stayed in Doha for a night on our way back from the Maldives and it was a pretty cool city....

Doha's airport is ridiculously nice, so much better than Dubai's....

I usually roll through Dothan at 2am from Ohio on my way to the beach. Wife wants me to finally get a hotel and stop for the night, but at this point, I'm only 100 minutes away from PCB.

Are you asking if we were Dubai toilets?

You should ask Latoya Cantrell, mayor of New Orleans. She’s been there on the taxpayer’s dime.

Brother use to live there. Visited 12 years ago. Don’t head to the beach in the summer. Hot tub water and sand is hotter. Try out the ATV on the sand dunes. Fun time chasing camels. I’d visit Old Dubai. Great restaurants. Indoor skiiing is fun for an afternoon and the Atlantis water park.

I have no interest in ever visiting the ME. Honestly I can’t fathom taking my wife/family there.

Fake shitty culture with no history. If you like Vegas, go for it I guess. Long way to go for a fake city.

Never been, but to me it seems like a fake arse city with no soul. A place where big money just it created because they could, something similar to the most commercialized aspects of Vegas.

I could think of a dozen places off the top of my head that I'd rather go to.

I spent 4 days in Dubai back in 2005 when I was in the military. Pretty cool place . A lot of construction was going on at the time so it’s probably a lot different now . They have an indoor snow skiing place inside one of there malls . Plenty to do
