There are more choices as new hotels and attractions come on stream and, not surprisingly, the prices are going up. Restaurant bills, for example, which were once regarded as equivalent to those in London, are now soaring: at the much-hyped and much-criticised new Atlantis (Freddy Flintoff and family fled to the Madinat Jumeirah after only one night at Atlantis), a meal for two at the Ossiano restaurant cost one couple we met £330. And at the Dubai Duty Free shop, we found the new Nikon D700 going for £2,400 – which is £600 more than you would pay on the high street in Britain.
