E: 31/07 Win a holiday to Dubai worth £4,000 (HELP NEEDED)

For a sun, sea and sand break, Dubai has become the reliable option for many travellers. Set on its own beach at Palm Jumeirah, the palatial Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, pictured above, contains all the requirements for a spectacular, stress-free holiday. Its restaurants stir up a world of flavours, from Lebanese to North Indian, Anatolian to Vietnamese; its nightlife includes the space-age Supperclub Dubai and the Beiruti-style MusicHall. There's tennis, a huge pool, a p!tanque court and even a boutique shopping avenue. Its centrepiece, though, is the Talise Ottoman spa, inspired by the classic Turkish hammam and clad in marble and mosaics, with steam rooms, flotation baths and thalassotherapy. For more aquatic fun, the Wild Wadi Waterpark is nearby.
Enter this month's Where Are You? competition and you could win a five-night break for two here, staying in a Deluxe King Sea View Room, including breakfast, flights with Virgin Atlantic from Heathrow, transfers, and a massage for both guests. The holiday must be taken by 30 September 2014, and is subject to availability.
For more details, call the hotel on +971 4 453 0000 or visit www.jumeirahzabeelsaray.com. For flight details, visit www.virginatlantic.com
Identify the square referred to on page 142 of Cond! Nast Traveller July 2014 and send in your entry to arrive by 31 July 2014. Correct answers will be placed in a random prize-draw. All correct entries will also be included in the Grand Prize draw at the end of the current competition period (1 October 2013-30 September 2014).
Clue: Round and round you spin, until you feel quite dizzy, on a huge Ferris wheel. Next to it is a nail-biting ride called, aptly enough for this magazine, Around the World, whose seats whirl about the tower to the very top. If you can stomach the view from here, you can look out over sparkling waterways and tile-topped buildings, neoclassical and Gothic. This city square has seen many sights over the years, including the visiting carnival that rides into town twice a year. In the 1960s, it was the scene of a sprawling love-in, when young people from across the world came to take advantage of the country's liberal laws, and chose to sleep on the cobbles outside, rather than in the free hotel beds that the government offered. In 1969 they were joined, in spirit, by two recently married celebrities who held a week-long bed- in for peace, albeit in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel. These days, though, you will find more pigeons than hippies in the square. Sit down here long enough, with bird feed in your hands, and you will soon be covered in feathers. Where are you?
Hazel Bell of Effingham in Surrey correctly identified the location pictured in the April 2014 issue as Bagan, in Burma. She wins a five-night holiday for two at the Marina Mandarin Singapore.

    I agree, John Lennon and Yoko Ono had a bed in for peace in Amsterdam and Dam Square is where the ferris wheel is
