Dubai Forums Dubai Expat Forums Accommodation in Dubai

Hello All
I'm going to Dubai on 14 September for a week, my Hotel is the Rydges and as it does not have direct acces to the Beaches, I would like to know if there are beach clubs or can you use the different hotel beaches. Also is it possible to visit a horse breeder and where's the best place to buy gold jewellery.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

All the best

This should be in another section...and I hope I wont see another thread with a topic named "Things to do October 1-15"....

Ok enough sarcasm for the morning...first of all Hello to you peachsun....welcome to DF and DXB...

I will only answer the best place to buy gold jewelry and leave the rest to the other forumers: if you can find someone to drive you around and bring you to the ff it would be great:

Deira Gold Seuk, Deira, Dubai
Sharjah Gold Seuk, Abu Shagara corniche, Sharjah
Gold & Diamond Park , Sheikh Zayed Road

As for relaxing, of course you shouldnt miss Burj Al Arab experience and spa/gym/swimming pool/sauna I would suggest Body and Soul (if you want it within the city, located in Deira)

Peachy your hotel has a shuttle bus service to the beach and anyway it is only 10 minutes by taxi to jumeirah beach park 5dhs entry.

If you want culture the opera madam butterfly is on the 17 and 18th at the madinat.

Try the dubai visit section and do a search. or try arabian adverntures for tours, definately do a desert safari

You could also try sites like this:

they'll give you a good idea of what is going on. Enjoy your time here. btw make sure to do a Desert Safari, you'll have a blast.

What was the Rydges as that's the hotel I'm considering?
