Dubai Luxury Hotel Reviews and Dubai Restaurant Reviews

Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Dubai one of the seven emirates, and its most populous city. It is located along the southern coast of the Persian Gulf on the Arabian Peninsula.

Over the past decade, Dubai has spent billions of dollars to transform itself into a tourist haven. In doing so, the sheer number of five-star hotels, luxury resorts and fine-dining and casual restaurants skyrocketed.

During my various trips to write Dubai hotel reviews and Dubai restaurant reviews, I discovered a few luxury hotels and resorts that I consider the best in Dubai; Al Maha Desert Resort and Madinat Jumeirah Resort as well as one great restaurant, Pisces Seafood Restaurant at Madinat Jumeirah, and many more less than fabulous restaurants. With so many luxury hotels, resorts and restaurants in just one city, it would take a lifetime to review them all, but below you can see the Dubai hotel reviews and Dubai restaurant reviews we have done for Dubai so far.
