I forgot to mention that an extraordinary number of people that were in Dubai on work Visas, like ones working in the hospitality industry left the country over the last several months. Many were repatriated back to India, South Africa, Pakistan and the Philippines. So, regardless if the hotels are open they won't be back to full staff and full service for sometime. Most likely not until this winter. Many of those workers were down to zero funds when they left, as their governments had to foot the bill back home, so them coming back won't be happening anytime soon.
