Other Hotels
Hotel accommodations in Dubai can vary depending on location and luxury levels. The rates for the high season period of April can vary between $70 to $1500 (and more). It is strongly advisable that you make your hotel and ticket bookings 3 months prior to your planned arrival date in order to ensure a good location and rates. In order to facilitate your reservation and travel plans, we suggest that you make your hotel booking as a package with your airline ticket and through your local travel agent. Travel agents from abroad often get better tourist group rates. If you would like to make the travel arrangements yourself you can book directly online through the below suggested sites (we suggest in the areas Jumeirah and Bur Dubai). http://dubai-hotelguide.net http://dubai.gtahotels.com http://www.octopustravel.com http://www.southtravels.com/middleeast/uae/ http://www.asiatravel.com/uae/uae.html http://www.worldexecutive.com/cityguides/dubai/ More information on hotels will be posted as available.
