Dubai is probably one of the best cities in the world. All of the bars and clubs are at the hotels. Mainly because besides the duty free, it is the only place allowed to sell alcohol. A lot of the bars are filled with eastern european, ethopian, chinese, and phillipino prostitutes. It really isnt that expensive there though. Most of the hotels are 5 star and can range from 150 to 500 per night, depending on reg. room or suite. It also has the only 7 star hotel in the world, with rooms starting around 600 per night. Plenty of gold souks (malls). Gold is really cheap there. Mall of the Emirate will probably be the biggest mall you have ever been to and it has a movie theatre and a ski slope in it. As far as goodies, you can by gear there, but the selection is somewhat small. last time i was there i could only find sustanon. I have been there quite a few times, but have not been able to to do everything the city offers. There are tons of tours, sand dune adventures and water sports. I am headed there next week and will see if I can find anything else.
