I've got a flight which stops in Dubai at 7 or so in the morning then another at 4.

I want to go to a smart hotel for breakfast. I did this early this year to Medinat Jumeira and was well impressed except the waitresses had strange unifoirms...It was not too cheap either.

Any suggestions for another hotel? Price irrelevant.

sorry - and of course thankyou in advance.

so you are here for the best part of the morning/early afternoon then? make sure you dont get a transit passenger ticket and get stuck in the airport!! Not sure about good breakfast buffets but you could give Jumeirah Beach Hotel a try

THEY NORMALLY DON;T LET YOU OUT OF TRANSIT, SO YOU HAVE TO STAY AT THE AIRPORT.

balls, sorry about the caps.

No I'm on Emirates on both legs and can either spend my day in the Irish Bar or leave the place and get stamped out of the immigration and do what I want for the day - did it last time no problem . The lady even said have a nice day in Dubai.

Have as many caps as you want - your a northern lad - its your national dress!!

Sorry - joke!

Irish bar in the airport does a good fry up with black pudding, hasbrowns, beans etc (and a pint if u can stomach it early in the morning)

traffic over to the Madinat side of the creek will be a nightmare at that time of day unless its a Friday. Try the Meridien hotel opposite the airport.
an alternative braving some of the traffic would be the new Raffles hotel. supposed to be pretty nice.
