Take a look at this link.there are lots of great things to do.
http://www.timeoutdubai.com/bestof

Remember that booze is expensive and it is also illegal to be drunk or show affection in public. Most hotels have guidelines in the rooms. Pick up your booze allowance at duty free ..5 bottles of wine per person, mini bars are also expensive

Dress codes for most restaurants in the hotels are smart/casual, which for the guys usually means no sandals or flipflops and no shorts.

The big bus tour is an excellent way of seeing the city

Enjoy your stay.

I believe the actual allowance is 4 litres of wine (which is equivalent to 5 bottles) or 4 litres of spirits or presumably any combination of these as long as it's not more than 4 litres in total.

I think Barasti would be right up your street. I'm not being nasty, in fact I like the place: I blend in like an elephant in a cherry tree.

(Barasti is a sprawling bar near Dubai Marina--all the taxi drivers know it. Mixed crowd, but mostly young. Half price on Mondays--G&Ts at AED16, which is cheap for Dubai.)

dear God, what has happened to you? A bit of weight loss and you're hanging out with the wide boys with their pointy shoes and tucked in shirts sipping cheap G&Ts.

'Koff. I've been there once on a Monday, and a couple of times at the weekend pre-starvation. (But thanks for the salutation)

Yeah, that's what you said but it didn't explain the allowance.
