Brillaint trip, jet skiing, atv ride on the dunes, amazing food. Conrad Dubai was absolutely amazing, the best hotel i have stayed at ever. Burj Khalifa is an architectural wonder. Jumeirah beach with a view of Burj Al Arab was stunning in the evening. Aquaventure was a fun day out. Dubai mall is huge and has everything anyone could ever want to buy, the fountains are a nice entertainement. Valet parking available in most places. Dubai marina is a beautiful area for an evening stroll or rent a electric scooter which is quick and easy. Museum of the Future is an interesting place. The Souks are also worth a visit to see behind the scenes of the ever sparkling Downtown Dubai, be prepared to negotiate.
