Any opinions on Dubai please?

[broona]

We're looking to go away for 7 to 10 days in June next year, and Dubai has caught our eye , has anyone been and got an opinion please? Cheers.

I’ll preface this with the fact that I’ve never been. But it strikes me as a totally class-less place devoid of interest, culture, or any redeeming features. On top of that, it was built by trafficked slaves and still has a highly dubious human rights records.

If you want to go somewhere warm there’s plenty of better options.

Hey, you asked…

Surely anywhere in the Med is better than Dubai in June?

Enjoyed the 4WD desert drive, the Souk market, swimming in the sea in January and the buildings. Ok for a week but not a place I would revisit.

I've lived very near it april-june (with work) and visited the city a good 10 times. This is essentially how I'd summarise it. It feels fake, and it is fake. It was an interesting experience that I am glad to have had, but I would never pay to go there personally.

And June? Lol. Lmao even. Might as well go to Venus brother. Anywhere outside while the sun is even close to up is completely unbearable for more than a handful of minutes at that time of year.

Jesus please go somewhere more interesting than UAE. It’s so dull and boring, unless you’re into fake beaches, massive malls (with the same shops as here) and not much else.

What about Jordan if you’re interested in the Middle East? WAY more culture and things to see/do. But depends if you want to see things, or just wander around with people from Essex.
