    Has anyone been, or does anyone know much about Dubai?

    I'm being sent there by my work in September, supposedly staying in the worlds only 7 star hotel.

    My geography is terrible, and I don't even know where it is, let alone it's customs.

    Anyone know anything, or do I godda Google?

    You lucky man!

    I don't know if there is more than one 7-star hotel in Dubai now.

    Do you know the name of yours?

    The Dubai Golf Classic was recently held and most of the top names stayed in this one: http://www.dubai.ws/h_burjalarab.htm

    The thing that looks like a 'dish' near the top of the hotel is a helicopter pad. I have seen some awesome pictures of Tiger Woods hitting golf balls from it!!!!!!

    As I said earlier ......

    You Lucky Man!

    :D

    Apparently, we're supposed to do a Jeep Safari to a Bedouine camp or summat.

    I'd rather have the cost of it in my salary to be honest.

    Apparently it's the only 7 star hotel in the world, but the link you posted was a 5 star hotel.

    Looked a bit nicer than a Travel Lodge mind you?

    The only plus side is, I know it's got a Good Gym.

    I think the link I posted is the 7-star one.

    Found this on the web:

    Travelling back to Abu Dhabi, we decided to stop off in Dubai for dinner. We made a valiant attempt to get into the Burj Al-Arab, the highest hotel in the world, and also the only 7-star hotel in the world. The place is stunning. Apparently you get your own personal servant. We flashed diplomatic passports and embassy IDs but we were turned down because of our dress. No worries, tomorrow we are going back with nice clothes and some calls made to some connections.

    Cheers. :)

    If I wore a Kilt, would I pull a Millionaire Chick Babe, or just pull a muscle? :D

    Mate... If you are in dubai: Check out the Wild Wadi (waterpark) if you have time. If you are staying in the 7-star hotel, then you get in free!

    Dubai has some nice things here and there ;) Diving ain't too good though, yet! They have some big shopping malls and nice food courts in em too!


    There are some too good to be true restaurants there! I will ask my dad for their names for you, if you are interested!

    Sean.
