I did a 24hr turn in November and must say that the indoor skiing for just $55 was worth the experience of seeing real ski equipment inside. Khalifa Tower is nice inside, but the view is kind of meh since you see the same single strip of buildings that you already saw from the ground, plus the air is dusty so you can barely see the gulf 2 miles away. Great place to visit though, and the mall is huge! huge!

Definite + 3,

We would like to eat at the worlds highest restaurant. Is anyone else staying at the Jumeirah Burj Al Arab? We are traveling with friends from the Jumeirah New York property.

Could anyone who's interested in afternoon tea at the Burj-al-Arab on Saturday 25th June please PM me, and I'll try to start organising. I normally enjoy the afternoon tea, and stay for some early evening cocktails.

See the following link for details.

Afternoon Tea

Cheers,
Rick

As i haven't still booked any tickets i should be considered as a Silver though.

We would be interested, if we can make it to DXB. (Might have to be in SLC for a wedding.)

Hmmm, 2 FT bucket list things at once: finally DOing Dubai & meeting the infamous eighblack, how could I resist, especially with promises of a SkyHighTea, RitzyGulfBQ, & just possibly, flying Emirates First Suite (or at least playing in their cabin crew sims!)

Put me down as Definitely Interested.

This will be my first DO, and I'm definitely in. I'm living in abu dhabi so will definitely be there.
Looking forward to visiting emirates hq
