Answer 3

My work collegue went there recently. He said it was very hot, around 45-50 degress centigrade. Very dusty cause of all the sand. And you need a car to get anywhere cause the cities s big and hot you don't want to walk anywhere.

Good shops though.

Answer 4

I am from and live in Dubai.

Don't listen to ignorant comment above about people staring at you that is simply not true and very snotty.

Dubai is simply a beautiful modern city, that is very multicultural. You see people here from everywhere working and living here. Very safe!

- criminal record here is low!

- Right now in the summer it reaches up to 45 degree Celsius but seriously you don't feel the heat because everything is in door and air conditioned!

- There are many things you can still do outdoors and you will not feel the heat. Anything related to some beach activities. I'm sure your going to enjoy and will never feel the heat for I go the beach on weekly basis and there are a lot of things to do depending on where you go.

- The cuisine here is top notch, for you can find restaurants from all over the world.  

- Night life, I'm not sure about for I don't go clubbing.

- You will see here more "expats" than nationals themselves, we are outnumbered! Really does tell you a lot about the city, how much they love it and they keep coming.

- Shopping is amazing here you have high ends, and cheap souks!! Malls are more than just malls here. Malls are there for entertainment, and social gathers. I bet you heard about the ski slope we have in Mall of the Emirates. Its fun! You can choose to ski, learn how to ski by professional trainers OR go to the ski park and enjoy the slides on tubes!



- It is considered one of the top destination in the region for the place is spectacular. True there is a downside to everything, the heat one of them but we are working on it. the Traffic is getting better. There is always something happening here, shopping festivals and summer festivals!

If you really want to experience something unique, an exotic, Arabian blended with Asian blended with Middle eastern blended with western culture you should come to Dubai.

Answer 10

It smells and its hot, and mainly boring, i hate it over there, dont ever go there unless you would win some cash or something.

Answer 11

Has anyone ever been there?

Probably me, cause I'm a citizen!

Well, Dubai's always on the top-list of hot destinations, but I'd really recommend that you don't come in the summer when it's blazing hot. Preferably, October to April.. then, you'll enjoy!

Take care.

For your info, you are the scary ones there. You are the expats or foreigners. Get your facts straight woman. Or better, get educated. You have no social skills or respect. I am not going to dirty my hands with filth talking more about your disgrace. Now, beat it.
