i thought as a girl on my own probably best not to wander around a brand new city!

I do wish I could go in the day though and do this

STA offered me the holiday inn for £57- not sure if this is a good rate? simple single room I think- the thing is i suppose it will take me 2 hours to get out the airport- have to be back another 2 before flight takes off...

I'm guessing the hotel in the actual airport is v. pricy?

Thanks again!

We stayed at a hotel that was 5minutes from the airport. The taxi driver laughed at how short the trip was. We got to the hotel about 25 minutes after we landed (remember, Emirates will keep your checked-in backs (>23hrs) so you dont need to pick them or and drop them off again) so you can leave about an hour and a half before ur flight and thats a good 6hours sleep your getting.
