Dubai, UAE - Apr 2025

Alan and I on our Balcony

Back in our "happy place"! We love Dubai and spent a fabulous 10 nights here in April. This time we flew out of Edinburgh instead of Glasgow and found it to be so much better.

Our hotel was probably the best we have ever stayed in, The JW Marriott Hotel Marina. The suite was wad fantastic with a spectacular view of the Marina from our balcony. The staff were exceptional and nothing was too much trouble for them. We were on a full-board basis and the food was delicious. It also has a great location with direct access to the Dubai Marina Mall. We would highly recommend this hotel! See below for my video of the room and view...

We have been to just about all the tourist attractions in Dubai, but finally got to ride on the Ain Dubai! It was worth the wait! See my video below...

Another first was going to the Tiffany store in the Dubai Mall, it is so beautiful. We decided to have Lunch there (we were too late in the day to have "Breakfast at Tiffany's"!!) The Blue Box Café is absolutely stunning, service, food and drinks were fab too!

Not quite Breakfast at Tiffany's, but Lunch!

We just love staying in the Marina area and would go out for a walk around the area every night as it's just so beautiful. See below for my video...

We also visited the Expo City site, but only stayed for a short time as it was an exceptionally hot day and everything was outside! It was also quite quiet as there were no major exhibitions on at the time.

Another first for us... we visited the Dubai Outlet Mall which was great and had plenty of bargains!
