    Quite frankly it's amazing. We were staying in the downtown area, I've never seen the likes, city of the future.

    I've not been there for about 10 years, I thought it was alright but not great. When I was there there was a great hooker place called The Cyclone Club, it is closed down now, ever since jiffy tried to get a job there and scared away the customers

    You'll see massive changes if you ever go back, its stunning. I had a sore neck with constantly looking up at the Burj Khalifa which we could see from the pool.

    This is where we stayed:

    I'm guessing you can see the Burj Khalifa from most places, it's almost a kilometre high! Also, did you really just call something "stunning"?! I suppose the food was "to die for" too?

    It's 800 odd metres. That's quite a bit off a kilometre imho

    Twas, though the scoff is not by any means cheap, best the tinks on here avoid Downtown Dubai, its extortionate.

    If you added less than 20% of its height to its height it would be 1km tall. Anything 20% and lower is "almost". Good day, sir.

    The second tallest building in Dubai is probably less than half the height, so if you can't see it, just walk away from it and you will see it eventually.
    Why add 200 metres when you only need to add 172 metres?

    That's why I said you could see it from the pool, why would I want to walk away from my pool?

    No but when we were staying there, so was Mario Goetze, Grazianne Pelle, Lee Bowyer and Santoro Vidal and an absolute barrel load of fake titted beau's which certainly provided an eyeful.
