kni Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 I have heard that Dubai is a very good place to buy gold jewellery. The prices a very close to the value of the gold, i.e. there is only a little mark-up. Perhaps that is why your lady chose to go there.

1876Jag Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Desert safari was good - 4x4 tearing up the sand dunes. City sightseeing bus was best way to see all the stuff you can't afford and more in a day. Speak to someone who's been or a travel agent; it's not a compact place and stuff is sprawled everywhere. Don't drive - utter chaos on the roads. Was there about 6 years ago for 2 days on the way to Oz. Didn't know my way around admittedly; great place if you have money to spend, but I found it pretty soulless. I know people living there just now but I'm not in a hurry to go back.

King Kenny Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Any idea roughly where you're staying? As mentioned it's quite spread out dependant on where you're situated. The Metro system is excellent though and stops at all the main places and Taxi's are dirt cheap. (As a wee tip, don't use the private hotel taxi's as they charge twice the price. Thousands of normal taxi's so you won't struggle to get one). Dubai Mall is the biggest in the world so will keep the wife happy plus the Burj Khalifa (world's tallest building) is also there and is worth a trip to the top. The mall has plenty of restaurants etc and also has a fountain show out the front similar to Vegas. If you're looking for a night out then stick to going to a "Brunch". You can eat and drink as much as you want for approx 4 hours for roughly £40-£50. It's not like the all you can eat places here, the food is excellent. (Yacht club at the Marina does a good brunch). Beaches are good as well. I've been a few times but usually spend my time on the golf course, not sure your wife would enjoy that?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeredStirlingsrightfoot Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I only stayed over for a night en route to Australia so can't give much assistance apart from travelling by taxi was dirt cheap, I gave my taxi driver the lions share of my left over currency when I left, it was probably more an insult than a months wage which is what it felt like handing over a load of notes.

It would explain a lot. once again, you're bringing up the gay stuff, tormented by gay thoughts in that closet of yours. Stop fantasising about me being gay.
