Dubai Hints & Tips! (Merged)

bootman

I don't know about hotels but just looked at virgin for flights. I would say book the flights now! They were £258. I am tracking them for August and so far I have seen nothing this low.

My husband is out there at the moment at the Hilton Dubai Creek. He said its lovely. I booked it a few weeks ago through hotels.com and got a really cheap rate at the time.

I have booked our hotel for August through Value added travel. I had to chase them but got a good deal there as well. Also try Travel Dubai, I used them last year.

Always say you have got a price else where first. Best to look somewhere like the BA website to get a cost before calling these places as they will always undercut.

Also try and go for Club or executive lounge as this gives you drinks and nibbles throughout the day. Drink is sooo expensive in Dubai.

EVEN though drinks are expsensive there are plenty of ways to save if oyur a couple

there is deals on at a different bar or resturant every night,
average price for a drink is 25dhs

for example

tues me and the wife go to a brilliant italian in the movenpick where the deal is as much as you can eat and as much red wine for 75 dhs which is just over a tenner each

thurs you can go to gordon ramseys resturant for a meal and selected drinks are 1dhs (lager or glass of wine) and a bottle of red wine is 5dhs, you can go in and easily just have a main meal and a bottle of wine and come out with change of 30 quid

every night of the week has a ladies night offer somewhere, for the champions league final i went to my local (double deckers) and ladies get 3 free drinks on a wed night so it cost me nothing for the missus

plenty more deals on every day of week going around just need to look
