Any FBG's been to Dubai? (1 Viewer)

[Senor Schmutzig]

I'm heading to Dubai in May for a conference and have three hotel options that I can stay at:

Atlantis The Royal
Burj Al Arab Jumeirah
Jumeirah Al Naseem

Any recommendations? They are all 5*. I'm just trying to determine if there are any reasons to pick one over the other.

I have a friend who lives there, and she suggested the Jumeirah Naseem as it's designed in the Arabic style versus the others that appear to be more modern.

Went there on my honeymoon almost 20 years ago. I could look into where we stayed near the Burj al Arab.. It was nice. But I'd listen to the local on this one.

Eta... Iirc, it was this one... https://www.jumeirah.com/en/stay/dubai/jumeirah-mina-a-salam

Went there on business about 5 years ago. Stayed at the Oaks IBN Battuta Gate hotel as that is where our client had discounts.

Atlantis The Royal

I didn't stay at any of these three, but I went to Ossiano at the Atlantis for dinner. We walked around the property and it was unbelievable. Like nothing I've ever seen - really over-the-top lavish and extravagant. The only thing about that one as opposed to others is that it's in its own area a bit separate from everything else. But you probably aren't going to be walking around a bunch anyway, so it likely doesn't matter.

Just don't go during Ramadan, like I did.

Spent two nights there a decade ago. I only remember a few things. The main one was not being able to go out for a drink . Our hotel served booze at least.

The city was exceptionally clean. The indoor ski hill was hilarious, watching through the glass as parents were zipping their kids into snow suits

The airport bathrooms were also a trip, I wasn’t worldly enough to realize that parts of the world don’t use a toilet.

I can’t speak for the airport bathrooms, but the bathrooms at the Mall of Dubai are incredible. Spacious, clean and like 5 attendants.

I was in Dubai for four Days in December, but didn’t do the beach area where you are. I would love to go back and spend some time in that area.

The Musuem of the Future is kind of meh, but Burj Khalifa was cool.

Interestingly, the residents of Dubai don’t like the Flintstones, for some reason. But the people of Abu Dhabi do.

So how is the weed situation there? Probably not wise to take any with you?
