Stopping over in Dubai (27th/28th) on the way to Perth WA. Has anyone got any recommendations for things to see / do while there?

Stay at the airport and get to Perth on an earlier flight.

Failing that look in the Wiki

geez- it's surely not that bad???

No it's not, I've just had it up to here with bloody tourists.

The authorities should do something about it.

(Sounds like a letter for 7 days...)

Go for a walk along Sheik Zayed Road.

well if they do it anytime from 4-8 it'll be perfectly safe!

come to Sharjah! It's lovely :)

I would recommend doing the big bus tour, it leaves Wafi city every 30 minutes and will more or less take you round Dubai, gold souk, spice souk, museum etc. Or you could go to Sharjah!!!

that's a good idea....the bus one I mean

as sad as it may sound I do it every year!!! good day out!

Thanks for all the info, didn't realise there was so much info in the WIKI :D . It must be really difficult putting up with all the bloody tourists in a city which is doing everything it can to become so dependent on tourism...wouldn't you consider moving?

don't take those comments seriously...please

Re: stop over '' must do's "
 

just ignore them, MH is right. Dubai is a great place but like every country it has it's down sides.

Buy gold :)

And give yourself loads of time when getting your flight to here - security is like a circus there :frown:
