Dubai Forums Dubai Discussions Dubai General Chat Travel Around

Recommended sites by DF Members ought to be more reliable than "commercially" advertised websites. Here we can list the recommended sites (subject to moderation and deletion of 'spam' posts of course)

Here is the first one:

FWIW, I used two websites to book all of my accomodation. Both were fantastic. Good reviews and pretty accurate in the info they provided as far as I could see. Best thing was that you couls actually look up both and compare rates against each other. Well worth doing as there was significant variations.

www.asiarooms.com

www.wired-destinations.com

Rate them both highly. Also used tripadvisor.com to get a bit of "independent" feedback.

It will help the other members if the poster tells a little bit about their experiences. Otherwise a simple list of the site might meet with Mod's wrath and be deleted as "spam".

- Wikitravel : quite usefull information , but might be a little outdated (cant rely on all prices)
-Man in seat 61 : Great source for train travel. Accurate information about routes, but booking prices might be higher than other sources.

Wow, that seat61 site had some amazing tours. I wish I could go on a 40 week tour! Maybe in a few years!

40 weeks is quite enough for a round the world trip.
I'm thinking about trans-siberian train from moscow-Ulan Batar-Beijing for this summer.

www.Tripadvisor.com - always use this before booking a hotel
www.hotelclub.net - some of the best rates I have found

Travel Jungle is a flight booking aggregator with good prices.

http://www.kayak.com --> another good aggregator for flights, hotels, etc ..

It is a nice forum it is very useful to all who has to visit Dubai. Thank you for this forum to giving a best guidance.

I was searching around for tickets to fly home in March yesterday and musafir (dot com that is) had a great deal.

If you want a site with detailed information on a lot of interesting places world-wide, have a look at www.visit-the-world.co.uk .

www.visit-wales.co.uk has information on several places in Wales. Tenby in Pembrokeshire is a beautiful little place, surrounded by greenery and a rugged coastline which is a National Park. That's found on www.visittenby.com

www.visit-qatar.com has a fair bit of info on Qatar , just up the road from Dubai.
Is Doha an interesting place? The Corniche looks nice.

Travel to Malaysia's Sepang Goldcoast. I visited last December and saved over 60% from the hotel price by going to www.goldenpalmdirect.com

You can compare prices from Agoda and you'll find that the Golden Palm Direct website is much cheaper. Its a fantastic 5 star resort, comprising villas on the sea.

The price is very tooooo much, thanks

Thanks for the info.
