MARINA BYBLOS HOTEL

Instagram
ALOFT PALM JUMEIRAH

ALOFT PALM JUMEIRAH

Palm Jumeirah

A more affordable way of staying on the Palm while still getting a resort and beach experience.

๐Ÿ  Airbnb

Definitely compare Airbnb prices. JBR, Dubai Marina and JLT have loads of apartments and can offer excellent value, particularly for groups and families.

๐Ÿ’ก Look further inland

If budget is the priority, don't be afraid to move slightly away from the beachfront. JLT and areas further inland can be considerably better value while still giving you easy access to the main tourist areas.

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… What our guests say

โ€œThe whole experience was great from start to finish. The jet skis were amazing, all booked and ready to go, and we did the buggies and quads, picked up from our door step and dropped off with a lovely trusty gentleman. If you want a stress free time I would highly recommend.โ€

Calvin Wilkins

โ€œHonestly, 10/10 experience! The buggies are super fun, fast, and really easy to handle. They picked us up right from our hotel on time, drove us out to the desert in AC comfort, and dropped us back after. Zero stress, amazing views. Highly recommend!โ€

Kyle Mackenzie

โ€œAnyone coming to Dubai should be in touch with Myles and the team @insidedubaiguide. Great advice and offers, genuine person who puts customer first. Can't recommend enough for any desert trips, yachts, jet skis, attraction tickets, transfers and more.โ€

Stuart Anderson

โ€œGreat service from Myles and his team from start to finish. Changing the number of people and the dates was never a problem. I booked the jet skis and jeep safari and everybody was friendly and helpful, esp Shaza and her team on the safari.โ€

Natalie o'Sullivan

โ€œResponses were practically immediate. The Gold experience at Burj Khalifa was incredible and we wouldn't have chosen it if not for the advice given. We also did the Sky Views Observatory and the Jet Cars. We will only use InsideDubaiGuide whenever we return to Dubai!โ€

Lewis Ramster

โ€œI contacted Inside Dubai Guide before arriving in Dubai with a list of everything we wanted to do, and Myles was absolutely brilliant. Everything was perfectly organised, and every activity ran smoothly from start to finish.โ€
