Staying here and enjoying the quiet roads, supermarkets, easy parking, great deals in hotels, enjoying the occasional evening outside with friends who were also still here and time spent with friends and acquaintances who can only afford to come to Dubai during the summer.

Best of all, 3 nights for the price of 2 at Al Maha - bliss
