Re: Going to Dubai
Free deliveries? No way. McDonald’s charge 3 AED if you order online, 5 if you order by phone. BK, KFC, Pizza Hut all charge 5 AED.
Good restaurants in Dubai are a plenty. You wouldn’t need recommendations. Just get here, then ask what type of cuisine you’ll like, maybe then I can zero in on few names.
Bur Dubai area is horrendous. It is only good if you’re going to travel by Metro trains a lot. Otherwise there is traffic, there are a lot of people there, car honking, congestion etc. There is shopping there, but in my opinion, live somewhere else and go to Bur Dubai, get your shopping done and come back. Then again it depends on what your hotel budget is. Bur Dubai and Deira have the cheapest hotel rates in Dubai, along with Qusais and Nahda, but there’s nothing to do in Qusais and Nahda.
Best place to stay in Dubai is Barsha, if you’re talking about hotels. Especially near to Mall of the Emirates area. New Dubai in general has all the good and best hotels in Dubai. From Burj Al Arab, Armani Hotel to Atlantis.
