Thanks Glenys and Hazza
I enjoy DuBUY; there is not a whole lot to do, once you have done a 4x4 dessert safari/dinner in an Arab village and had a romantic dinner sailing down the Dubai Creek - except of course SHOP!
For a country which has not had rain for two years, it is incredible to see the verdant grass and flowers by the sides of the road; also the stark contrast between the working sailing boats in the Creek and the ultra modern skyscapers that line it.
I will be staying at the wondrous Burj Al Arab, which I am told is an amazing experience.
I just hope the Cyprus airways strike does not affect my return trip; I had two days added to a London visit in March by their last strike. Maybe I should have flown Emirates!
