I’ve been to Dubai back in 2007 and 2008 and I absolutely love that city. From dune-bashing in the desert, sun-bathing at Jumeirah beach, visiting the souks in Old Dubai or the huge brand new shopping malls that have come to define Dubai as larger than life (I stayed nearby the Mall of the Emirates, with Ski Dubai right at my hotel window), there are so many things to do there.
