Going for 8 days in mid October. I've never been to the Gulf before so any tips would be appreciated. Tips on decent, reasonably priced places for breakfast (and other meals) would be ideal - £35 per day at the hotel.
Must admit I'm more used to going on holiday staying in a shack on the beach and wearing shorts and a vest so this will be different to say the least. Not sure just how dressed I'm supposed to be, which would seem wrong anyway as it's so hot.
16 years since I was last there so should imagine like Dubai it has totally changed. Very hot though and strict dress codes away from the beach/pool so take plenty of linen shirts and light weight trousers. Plenty of hotels and restaurants for you to visit and the shopping is fantastic. Have a great time.
