Dubai in July – hot, hot hot!

Several people have asked me why I have chosen to come to Dubai in July when it is SO hot (43 -46 degrees)

Truth is that we booked this destination as a stand alone holiday before we decided to take the year off to go travelling and chose Dubai solely on the availability of the Free air miles flights with British Airways as I had both Avios points and a companion flight to take advantage of, BUT only a very limited window in which to us them, a window made even narrower in trying to find availability of such flights within school holidays. I tried to find flights to several Caribbean destinations & Florida but alas no availability. I finally found seats to Dubai so it kind of won by default.

I could never describe Dubai as ‘beautiful’ and yet something about its infrastructure, iconic buildings and architecture keeps drawing…
