Fred Mawer, Travel Writer If you want to take the family to Dubai this winter, book soon. The best hotels are usually full in the winter and spring school holiday periods.
Sue Hayward, Personal Travel Counsellor Hotels in the business district are cheaper than those on the beach, and you won’t be troubled by building work. Most city hotels have wonderful pools, and also offer free shuttle buses to the beaches.
Sue Light, Personal Travel Counsellor Buy duty-free in the baggage hall on arrival in Dubai. It’s much cheaper than in the UK. And changing money at the airport gives you a better rate than at the hotels. The best way to get your bearings and the feel of Dubai is to book a City Tour on your first day.
Susan Osborne, Personal Travel Counsellor The new Arabian Ranches Golf Club has special rates for ‘twilight golf’ – as many holes as you can play from 3.30pm till the sun goes down. You can pre-book a tee time online at www.thedesertcourse.com
Sue Light, Personal Travel Counsellor The Dubai Marine Beach Club, opposite Jumeirah Mosque, is open to non-members after 6pm, with lots of places you can eat, including some outside in beautiful settings.
