Hi folks,

I am looking at going to Dubai at the end of the July and am finding the prices to be SKY HIGH.

The cheapest I have found is

2 flights for £632.00
&
7 night’s accommodation in a 3 star hotel - £180

Total = £812

Has anyone being and can recommend any tips please

Thanks in advanced.

Someone in need of a holiday

    It should be cheap because it will be hot, so 2 flights for £630 isn't bad.

    I went in August last year and paid 320pp (incl flights and 3* accom), was VERY hot, but it doesnt really matter as the shops are open until late at night and shut in the day.

    If you are going make sure you go for the desert safari and Wild Wadi (water theme park)....definately recommended!

    Cheers Baby A,

    Did you pay £320 for 7 nights?

    The cheapest I am finding for a package is around £500 for flights, B+B and 7 nights accommodation.........................Help

    Is it still busy?
    Is it the type of holiday were you are sunbathing by day and shopping by night?
    Are all the bars and restaurants in the hotels?

    Did you go full board or just B&B?
