Subscribing, not sure of availability yet, but might you change the dates?

However, I did notice that hotels seemed to be a bit more expensive than I'd anticipated. We got the JW Marriott (the older one) for a total of 4,920.00 AED (inclusive of tax) for 6 nights. A lot cheaper than Austin :D

This is the big eid holiday...

Just an update...

An FT member has been able to negotiate some good rates at Hyatt, Starwood and Ritz Carlton properties, and these will be available for attendees.

Leave a message here if you're interested.

I've now booked into the Sofitel Jumeirah. I had a load of Accor points to use up, so saved a lot.

I'm probably going to be in dubai that weekend now but have dinner plans on the fri.

I would be interested. Will be there over the weekend so it fits nicely into my schedule.
Could you advise of of the negotiated rates at Hyatt ?

To be honest, this event is not overly subscribed at the moment, with only me and my other half 'confirmed'.

So, rather than have a formal event, it's probably better that we just arrange to meet up somewhere nearer the time.

We're intending doing the Westin Friday Brunch as a change from he Park Hyatt. So, if anybody is interested in this, please go ahead and book.

Great! I though you had other plans, so I didn't contact you first.

P.S. Do you know which day is dry? Hopefully not the Friday :)

I'm going to be flying through DXB on my way home from the INN DO, but unfortunately a few days too late. I land in Dubai early morning on 9/30, and leave at 0245 on 10/1 (so a 20 hour or so layover). Would love to see if anyone is around and able to meet up then!

Matt here, new to DXB and would be interested to join a meetup or brunch next weekend.
