Cheeky bugger...........U may seek my wisdom. hahaha

Let me start with Ramee.........I have to say that that name does ring a bell, but its exact location isnt something I am too familiar with. Judging from wot I have read on the following websites, it is located in the heart of Dubai. The old city centre. This area wud have a very market place type feel with loads of traders and shops all around u. The facilities seem good and the hotel has a web site, which is a plus.
http://www.regentdubai.com/rameeapartment.html
http://www.hotels-discount-now.com/h...artments_0.jpg
http://hotel.undercovertourist.com/u...partments.html

By staying in this area, u are asking for tarts and russian mafia mate. How about something else? I have looked up a few more places for u:

Rihab Rotana Residence:
http://www.rotana.com/Aspx/Hotel.aspx?HotelId=11

Khaleej Holiday Apartments:
http://www.southtravels.com/middleea...haleejholiday/

I live close to Khaleej Holiday Apartments and it is a nice, "clean" area.

This site has loads of furnished apartments listed, with their contact info and websites. Might be worth a look:
http://www.dubaicityguide.com/tourism/apartments.asp

The Ibis might be good as it is off SZR and is centrally located.

Try City centre residence too
http://www.dubaicityguide.com/touris...tls.asp?id=357

If u r really keen on RAMEE Apartments, just send me a text/PM or wotever and I will try and get their exact location for u so I can give u a more precise overview of its locale.

Some of the other ones u mentioned are familiar too......Ascot isnt in the best of areas.........and now I am going to have Joe yelling at me for being snobby.......Its nothing personal Joe, but the area isnt somehwere I wud recommend staying in. Visiting Waxies for an hour or 2 is fine, but staying there......not a chance for me mate.

Tell me exactly wot sort of locale + budget u r targeting Chris and I will c if i can suggest a few known places for u.

I hope that my wisdom will help u c the light........lol

I know of someone that is renting out their house on the Meadows on a weekly basis. It is a large 5br house with a big pool and scenic landscaping, and so is perfect for a month out here till you are all sorted.
If you are interested do let me know and I'll speak to them, it will be available in less than a week so they are looking for someone to lease it. It's on a weekly lease as I said.

Do let me know!

atleast u didnt execute me for running down the area. phew! I am honestly not comforatable walking the streets in areas like that. Just dont feel lright. Hard to explain. And its not an ego thing.

There are far better places to stumble into than Waxies, though I do admit that it was alot better than i expected it to be.
