Hi. I sent this once and it disappeared so if you hear from me twice - sorry!
I did the Dubai trip a couple of years ago so things may have changed. But, we arrived in the morning after a night flight so needed local currency to buy lunch. Supermarket is a little way along on the opposite side of the road to the hotel. Eateries near the hotel a bit few and far between but most of the group used the hotel restaurant which was very good.
You MUSTgo up the tallest building, you MUST try delicious camels milk ice cream.
If you are going to the Mosque then you will have to cover up from chin to toes. No see through sleeves. Don’t worry too much our tour Manager had a sack full of appropriate ‘dressing up’ clothes!
Really interesting and enlightening tour. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.
