Dubai is all about shopping, nightlife, and getting some of the Arabic flair. Recently (2005) Dubai is experiencing a construction frency, which is more to be found towards the beaches and Internet City.

Stayed at Sands - Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

I arrived late at night. Flew from Dubai to Abu Dhabi, but later found out the distance is only 140 km. It would have been much faster and quicker to drive than fly. Unless you wanted to spend time shopping in the Dubai airport duty free.
Abu Dhabi airport is a bit small and needs expansion inside. My bag was lost for about an hour, not a welcome experience when you are the first time in an airport at 11.30pm at night. But the airport baggage staff were diligent in finding it. The airport is about 20 minutes from the city, via good high speed expressways.

Stayed at Intercontinental Dubai - Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Taxis are easy to get and represent reasonable value. If you are staying in the hotel and have to do business in/around the Jumeirah Beach area, it takes around 30 to 45 minutes and costs around AED60. Make sure you have change as some taxi drivers do not carry change for large notes!

If you want an over view of the main areas of Dubai get the Big Red Bus (two bus routes one ticket that lasts 24 Hrs). A trip up and down the creek is also good should cost 50 to 100 dirhams. The spice and gold souk are close by.

Stayed at Ramada Continental - Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
|
Good for shopping. The ride on the ferry is a pleasant way to see the city. It can be a little strange for a woman travelling alone ie. lots of staring but it's never threatening.
