Dubai 'Do' 2014
 

As the year is getting on, and nobody has stepped forward, I thought I'd offer to start the ball rolling for a 2014 Dubai Do.

I'm thinking of the weekend of 31st July to August 3rd.

I'll post some details up on the Community Buzz forum in the next couple of days, and post the link here.

Let me know if these dates are not good for whatever reason. It's just after Ramadan finishes.

It will be the usual Friday brunch and whatever else sounds good at the time.

Cheers

Bubbilicious at the westin please!

Absolutely perfect! I am in. :)

Intercon at Festival does a great brunch too! Next to Belgian Beer Cafe

I will endeavour to make it - pending my authority to travel is granted. At present, I am at the mercy of the US Government and am stuck in the Land of the Free ;). Long story. Wont bore you with the details...

If people want to do August we need a brunch with decent indoor space and somewhere different from the park Hyatt.

Bateaux dubai is another good idea but it's fairly civilised :D

Would have loved to join. But I'm relocating in June/July and won't be in the region and on EK anymore by end July :(

Count me in.

bad timing for me...
 

2 weeks earlier and i would be in..
:(

During Ramadan:)?

will be very close to the Eid weekend and the flights might be pretty rammed, doesn't worry us but might be an issue for those looking for reward flghts

flights will be very rammed and the taxi queues will be horrific.

I'm travelling back from BKK the weekend before but in J thankfully.

Perhaps a weekend a week later...?

Should the thread be in the Community forum with the other Do's? Non-emirates people might see it easier.

Yep. It's now been created...

outch...
 

my bad...

;)

You don't want to do it during Eid holidays, hotels and flights will be jammed and expensive.

I'm in if it coincides with a work trip and I am a fan of the Intercontinental

Are July 31-Aug 3rd firm?

Just asking as that will be during/end of Eid holidays so Dubai will be crowded and hotels very over-priced.

I agree with the other suggestions of pushing it a week or two later.

Will definitely try to make it.

OK - I'll try and postpone. I don't think there are any definites yet (other than me and a couple of DXB based).

How about the start of September?

better for me and I'm here at the start of Sept (fly to MAN on the 16th)
