What part of town would you go out in...,

I'm guessing you could do


- Burj Dubai; maybe cocktails at The Address and then dinner at Rivington

- Marina; cocktails at Observatory and dinner at Buddha Bar

- Atlantis the whole eve; drinks then dinner at Nobu and dancing at Sanctuary


I know Buddha Bar, Rivington and Nobu isnt the same.., point I'm trying to get across is what would be the right combo to see the best of Dubai

best thing to do would be to plan your exit. The place is way overated, tourist mall trap, slave labour camp with a nice backdrop of rusty cranes for your holiday snaps.

Burj aljarab, charge almost 200 euro to enter the hotel just to get in the gate. Their way of ensuring the hotel isnt wall to wall with no paying tourists and kids. complete ripoff

The snowboarding in the centre is good actually so spend your night snowboarding

I'm not a fan of the Burj, but if you were paying the rooms prices that they charge would you be OK with bus loads of tourists wandering around while you are trying to have a holiday?

The way the Burj has been struggling, the bus loads can afford to stay there themselves..........

What a pretentious load of overpriced crap...not surprising from a Laaandoner.
