Google for the NatGeo walking guides around the older areas.
There are varied views on the Burj Al Arab. $170 for afternoon tea is eye-watering-bordering-on-offensive but having a dining reservation is the only way to access the property, or evening cocktails (min spend $95pp).
It's around 35C (95F) during the day now. Warm but not oppressively hot or humid.
Thank you so much! Very excited. Booked afternoon tea and the top floor of the Burj Khalifa just now. Made those reservations all in the same day so I'll be able to see a lot of the city that day hopefully. Thanks again, really appreciate your help!
