I am expecting to do the Big Bus (panoramic) Night tour from their "Mall of Dubai"  location on Fri, 3/3.  You mt want to get a Fast Track Burj Khalifa ticket & see that first.

(see atthetop.com & others for options, prices  & times)      headout.com prices mt be to good to be true?

 

Don't forget that Fridays are "the day of rest "  so not much is open til the afternoon.

Friday, 3/3,  I have a 5:30 PM ticket for the"Lake Ride in a traditional boat" for the  Fountain Show so I can make that 7:30 PM Big Bus.

 

Coming back to DXB from MLE on 3/15,

I will stay at the Rose Rayhaan Hotel close to the Finacial District Metro  if anyone else is spending the PM in Dubai, too,  

I don't mind sharing the room.

My reservation  is   #R616368455   &   it says "one classic sky room w/ a King & Twin bed".

                       (FYI: Emirates Terminal 3 has a metro station)

I was going to hit the Burj  K that last PM.  There's LOTS of restaurants along the Fountain area; maybe eat first & go up off-peak-hrs  (@ 8PM?).

I hvn't paid my ticket yet cuz I'm undecided on the time.

 

I have not been able to get into the PM thread so I still don't know where you all are staying in Male. - CANDACE directions on how to get to PM have been sent and posted. Hotel name, address and tel# has been emailed to you. You should be good to go!  - Kamala 2-23-17

I arrive at 9:45 AM on 3/5 & sure don't want to sit there til 2:30 waiting for the "Carpe Guys"

Anyone else looking to poke around a little first?

Where is the boat docked?  - IN THE HARBOR and we will be taken by water boat from the airport at 2:30 pm

There's a group of us in Dubai on 3/3 - currently going on a yellow boat tour at 12:15 and the Burj at 4:30.  We are all at the Arabian Park hotel too.

 

I've sent several PM's to you but it sounds like you aren't getting an email on those.  So if you can get one of the admins to help get that working you'll see contact info.

 

Hotel in Male is Somerset Inn.

hi gang, just spent a lovely evening with Nada on a walking tour of old Dubai.  Highly recommend this activity which includes dinner.  Nada has a passion for teaching visitors about Dubai.  You can find her trip through Vivator or trip advisor.  The name of the tour is morning or afternoon walking tour of old Dubai.    And the weather right now is perfect for such an activity.
