Dubai Deals

Wife and I stayed at the Grand Hyatt 5 years ago or a long weekend, flying out with Emirates on an overnight flight on the Thursday and catching a flight back which left on the Monday afternoon.

I found the cost far cheaper booking the flights and hotel separately (total came to afew quid more or less than £1k for return economy flights for 2 plus club access room (including breakfast and cocktails/snacks in the evening) for 3 nights (I thought it was a very good deal which was the only reason we went). Given the amount available at breakfast and the snacks in the evening I don't think many people would need dinner aswell.

We loved the Grand Hyatt and were delighted that we chose to stay there but it is a fair metro ride away from most of the touristy places (not an issue for us but could be for others). Also if you get a cab there from the airport (which we did on arrival as the metro wasn't running) make sure the driver goes to the right hotel, our started heading to another Hyatt until I kept querying where he was going and then he apologised and headed to the right Hyatt hotel.

Also note that Ramadan starts on 11th March 2024.
