Dubai hotels
Dubai hotels, among the world's most luxurious and expensive, share a common problem. Because virtually all the staff are foreign—and often newly arrived—they don't know much about their new hometown. It helps to do your sightseeing homework in advance. Hotel room rates skyrocket in the winter high season and during the annual Dubai Shopping Festival; at any time of year you will often get a better deal booking a package through an Asian or London-based tour operator. Virtually the only establishments with liquor licenses, hotels are generally regarded as oases of social liberalism. Still, you may encounter nods to Arabian decorum such as gender-segregated spa facilities.
