Rudeboyelvis and everyone else what are you waiting for? Get over here! Dubai is the best place. If you really like horseracing you must attend a Dubai World Cup in lifetime.
Let me set this right for everyone:
1- JFK(New York) to DXB(Dubai) direct on Emirates Airlines is 12.5 to 13 hours.
2- Cell phones- easy and better system than US. Everyone uses one, and it is so cheep and easy to get. You can get one at most gas stations and supermarkets, and some hotels give one to use durring your stay.
3- Gambling- Yes there is no gambling here, but use your cell to call any phone a bet account(OTB,TVG Etc.). but don't forget the free pick-6. Cash prizes, Cars etc.
4- Drinking-YES! YES! YES! You can drink in DUBAI! At the races,bars, pubs, and dance clubs, concerts.
65,000+ on course on World cup day can't be wrong!
Get to the International Village, or the Bubble Lounge(Champane all day+night) the best.
I am still trying to recover from Thurs. nights races!
I have been coming here for well over 10 years. Dubai has everything you can think of.
Women do not need to cover up, and can shop and wear the best designer lines. Bring your bikini for the beach, and your golf clubs!
Any other questions?
