Hi, I am visiting Dubai early March and staying at the Ramada Continental Hotel. I will be playing golf at the following courses and would like some idea of the taxi journy times to each course from the hotel.

1. Jebel Ali Golf
2. Emirates Golf Club
3. Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club

Also, can anyone suggest any 'must see' sights while I'm there.

Thanks

Mick

I can think of one...haha...the Dubains amongst us will probably flame me for this because they see it everyday....but there is the Burj al Arab. I hear it's nice on the inside but never went...I aint paying to get into a hotel then have to pay $50 for a cup of tea!

Hehe. I bought a good book on my birthday called "Time Out - Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the UAE" It's got the sails from the Dubai Creek Golf Club on the front...I swear by it when I'm in Dubai.

They do a little section in it called "Customs and Exercise" which is a walking tour of Dubai...now if only I had the book in Scotland with me (left it in Dubai...) then I could tell you about it!

If you're interested in the cultural side of things then the Jumeirah Mosque gives tours to non-Muslims every Sunday and Thursday at 10am. See www.cultures.ae for more information.

There's also Al-Fahidi fort which is home to Dubai Museum.

Both of these I've never visited but will do next time I'm over.

I'll just say one more place...Wild Wadi. It's a great waterpark but make sure you spend the whole day there to get your money's worth...the AED165 entrance fee can prove steep if you only plan to stay for 2-3 hours!

Hope this helps.

The Taxi times will depend on which time of day if your staying in Ramada i would avoid leaving in the morning ... since the journey that would take you 15 to twenty minutes will take you 2 hours ..

Ramada -> Jebel Ali 20-30 mins
Ramada -> Emirates 15-20 mins
Ramada -> Dubai Creek 5-10 mins
