Okay so here we go, I hope you can all make it.

March 3rd
8pm
Shisha Place in the Dubai Marina


It is a nice open venue that is pretty chilled, easy place to talk, socialize and not overly pricey.

I ask that if you are coming just to send me a quick PM, friends, family are welcome, I just need to know roughly how many people to expect to ensure that seating is adequate.

Look forward to meeting you all soon.

I know Dubai tradition states that whoever invites treats but in this regard I say viva le Dutch!!

Tough titties for these wingers that want to tag their comments and suggestions along now. Fayz has already gone through the time and trouble of organizing what would suit the majority. There's always next time if you can't make this one.

Fayz... or anyone really... what is the name of the place? I am confident in the getting to Dubai Marina and I am sure I can track the meet up down, but a name would help.

Thanks.

OK. Very easy. Lets say you are coming from Dubai side... Which is to say passing the first, second, third interchanges. Emirates Mall is the third interchange. The next one is right after DIC, American Univeristy and co... When you see the Hard Rock Cafe you will see an exit right after (4th interchange). Take it. There is a fork. Keep to the left. Go straight.

Pass light one. Go straight.

At second light, turn left.

Keep to the left. At light, turn left.

Keep to the right. At light, turn right. 20 meters or so down you will see a roundabout. All arond it there is parking. This is the Parking for ther Marina Walk.

Get out of your car and onto the walk. In the center of the walk is a water fountain. The sisha place is right by the fountain, tyou cannot miss it.

Ciao!

Either that or come straight down Beach road all the way to the Marina. You'll go through one set of lights and the Meridien hotel will be on the right. You'll be at the point of Liban's directions where you need to stay to the left and take the next set of lights.

Along the al soufah road i reckon is easier, then just hang a left at lights by Meridian Mina Seyai - basically XRW's suggestion. Libans is ok as well, but the temporary exit by the Hard rock cafe is a nightmare with traffic

or

there is now a new exit past int 5 that takes you to the rear end of the marina and puts you on the upper road and back along to marina walk,

Yer EJ

Basically if you are coming off at Int 4 by Emirates Mall then head onto the Al soufah Road (which is the Junction of Mina A Salam/ wild Wadi) Take a left onto Al Soufah Road and just go all the way until you pass the Meridian Mina , then get into the left hand lane and take a left at the next lights. Marina Walk is 2/3 roads on your right.


Note to All drivers.

If you drive directly down Marina Walk, at the bottom there is a Valet Parking Service , and it's FREE. so dont bother parking on the road etc.

Thank you all for attending, I hope you had fun. I did and it was great to meet with you.

2 things...

1. A special thank you to Intimacy who really took control and helped organize everything
2. When the bill came I ended up with more money than was needed, even after a generous tip. The excess will be donated to the Red Crescent society.

Cheers,
fayz

Yes, I wanted to say thanks to Fayz and Intimacy for looking after us so well yesterday. They were talking with the shisha/restaurant staff to get us a place where we all fit, and they were on the phone constantly helping get everyone to the venue. Also, they organised cakes to celebrate Liban getting hitched this coming week. It took effort and you sacrificed some of your relaxation and socialising time to look after us - so thank you very much gentlemen!

It was really nice to meet you all! :D

All,
Thanks all for the great time, it was great, never thought it would turn to be that good. Now we can relate avaters to faces, and watch out for our language because we know how really people are nice.
And turned out that people online actually got lives :P hehehe i'm one of you guys :)

Fayz, Intimacy, Thanks for the whole effort.
Liban, good luck man, don't show up before 15 days as agreed.

All, wish to do it again.
