I stayed at the Ibis in July. The concierge stated that the girl had to have a driving licence or original passport.

Since they are both affiliated, I may presume that the same principle may apply. Since GITEX is just around the corner, the rules may change. . .
Good luck. Hotel places during GITEX have escalated disproportionally and rooms are totally booked up. Ibis was a cheap hotel option, clean but very small rooms with few amenities (no minibar). It's location for the Exhibition centre is its main selling point. IMHO.
Good hunting

All the rooms are two stories. All the latest technology, remote control curtains ad nauseum.
There is a difference between flash and class.

WG I used to pull from Cyclone had been there. She was not that impressed, although she said the room was 2 stories.

Crafty travel agents and hotels can get you an "afternoon tea" for only 400Dhs per person at the Burj. It would appear some folks just want to bask in the reflected glory of the mega-rich.
Me, I live off their crumbs.

Palms is still being constructed - I can see it mushrooming every day from my window.
The "sail" hotel is Burj Al Arab ("The Arab Tower") - a so-called 7-star hotel that hosts the likes of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and other sexual deviants. Around US$2000 per night from menory.
For flights - check Emirates.com. I have purchased tickets for friends from Dubai travel agents for almost half the price they would've paid outside the country.
cheers

You don't say where you are coming from but the best bet may be a package deal (flights and accommodation combined). Again Google.

Posts: 23the Palm
I was watching a show about the Palm island, I was wondering if anyone has gone there and if it is finished. While I was in the military I was in the Middle East and was suppose to go to UAE, but things have a way of not working out.
Maybe something in the future I will take a trip there. Another question I have is in regards to getting to UAE on a commerical flight. Is it very expensive to get to the coutry using western commerical airlines. Also, are the hotels in the area inexpensive? I once saw the hotel in the shape of a sail was very expensive per night.

Check my earlier post of Feb/March regarding Traders Hotel. It was brand new when I stayed there so no action in the bar or lobby, fairly business like formal hotel but very nice one. I called up a regular for some fun in my room and she had aboslutely no problems in coming up. No rude security, no extra check, nothing, just the security called me in my room and asked if I was expecting a friend. So girl friendly but no talent available in-house.
