I personally would never go to Dubai. Lebanon would be a much better option in my opinion, at least the country has history and roots. Beirut used to be known as Paris of the Middle-East.
Just back from Dubai. Plenty of fun to be had in safe westernised environment. If you have time, try the Leap of Faith at Atlantis, The Palm. 27.5m vertical drop. Will give you a buzz… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqZvUH-eefo
"Just back from Dubai. Plenty of fun to be had in safe westernised environment. " Whats up with all these places becoming so Western… I love New York and London and when I wana see that I go to New York or London… Should not each city keep its own identity, else why travel !!!
It is what it is. And you have to go find out what it is like - that is the essence of travel right? Going there doesn’t change what it is. It really is not NY or London, is it…? I mean, c’mon… There is a time & place for everything - guaranteed sunshine & safety was the main thing as I have a wife who needed the former and a one year old that needed the latter. On that note, my boy has already been to England, Dubai, France, Switzerland, Scotland & Spain. Way to go kid. He’s travelling alright.

Its fun for a bit because everything is so damn big and goofy looking, but it gets old fast.
My wife and I are going to Dubai/Abu Dhabi/Yas Island on November for the F1 Grand Prix. I’ll report after that.
