Dubai

[jimmygrimble]

I'm getting married in June and me and the missus-to-be have booked 10 nights in Dubai for our honeymoon. Anybody got any tips & advice of places to go, things to do/see?

We were thinking of using one day to head to Abu Dhabi and do the whole Yas Marina & Ferrari World thing. Might even pop in to the Sheikh's gaff, give him an insight into where we have been going wrong.

All suggestions are welcome.

Suggestion 1: do not get married

Suggestion 2: for fucks sake don't try consumating the marriage on the beach.

Take plenty of sunblock. Nearly died there when I went last June.

The water parks are good fun. Atlantis and Wild Wadi. There are loads of great restaurants in Ab Dab and Dubai*. Most will have bars and night clubs attached, or nearby. The spice and gold souk are a good tourist trip across the creek. If you go across the creek, you MUST try an 'Abra' water taxi. It is 1 dirham (16p) each way! (*If you buy an 'Entertainer' book or app you can save loads.)

The spice and gold souk are a good tourist trip across the creek. If you go across the creek, you MUST try an 'Abra' water taxi. It is 1 dirham (16p) each way! 'Barasti' is a good open air bar/night club. If you like golf, there is a course for every day of the year it seems. You can go Go-Karting in Motor City, or of course shopping in the biggest and best Malls in the world :-)
