Dubai Holiday? prices

I am looking to go to Dubai in September with my partner.

Where's the best place to get tickets from?

Also which hotels are decent, not too extravagant, with a decent price?

thanks for anyone who is willing to help me plan my holiday.

p.s I'm looking to go for 10 days!

  • Can't mind the name of it but on the main site here somewere there is a flight checker that you put in details of were and when you want to go and it gives you the different prices for all the airlines. As for hotels can't help sorry.
    £100 shoe voucher, £100 Lyle & Scott voucher, £100 Primark Gift card, 2 tickets to see Marc Almond. Tickets to see Haunting Julia. Pair of cheeky shoes. :)

    There are dozens of hotels in Dubai, ranging for 6 star to 2 star.
    Do you want to stay in a beach hotel, or city hotel? I think you need to do some basic research before you make your choice.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Once your there it is very expensive especially alcohol and eating out
  • The Novotel in Deira is great. Affordable, very smart with a bar and restaurant serving everything you could possibly want.

    Its ten minutes from the airport, opposite one of the big malls and a fifteen minute taxi drive to Dubai Mall where you can see the Burj Khalifa and the fountains, the pavement cafes and the gorgeous souk across the bridge.

    We've stayed there a few times and plan a return visit next month!

    We have been going to Dubai for quite a few years now and the last few years some of the Hiltons have started to do all inclusive. I would definatey recommend it and would only book that way now;)It's my favourite place ever and can't recommend it highly enough:)
