To those finding themselves with an unplanned overnight in DXB, my recommendation is to avoid the Marina / JBR / Palm / JVC / JVT / JLT areas, they are closer to the "action" (Minhad base) and most real pictures are originating from one of those areas. Choose Downtown, DIFC, WTC, Deira, and Garhoud, and other areas near the airport.

If someone requires assistance with anything here in Dubai, I am a PM away.
