New Year's Day in Dubai

[croyde]

Not confirmed yet but I may be traveling to Dubai to work on NYE. So there will be a day of rehearsals, the actual event then a day off on Jan 1st before flying back on the 2nd.

Went to Hong Kong via Dubai airport in '82 so I'm sure it's changed a bit

What should I do with my day?

I do fancy a trip up the Burg Khalifa to beat my current record height of The Empire State and my young son will go made if I don't take pics of myself up there but I know it's pricey and it would waste precious hours when I could be doing something more fun.

Bet the job gets cancelled now

Had a look since we went there once a few trips back and wife mentioned it last week. Two adults, two kids...ouch

That's ludicrous unless it's a free bar. Are there any public beaches?

Haha. Ah well I'm not a beach person anyway. I burn under a 60 watt bulb.

Bus and Burg Khalifa sounds good. Any waterparks worth checking out?
