When I was travelling around the world, I saved the majority of my money for a final stop and a holiday location. This was what i wanted to do, to have a working travelling holidays, then at the end to have a relaxing holiday. This meant that I had just enough money for the stay in Dubai. I dont really want to let you know how much, but I worked like stink throughout the 6 month travelling period.

Basically this meant, that i had arrived in Dubai, without enough money to stay anywhere. After walking down Sheikh Zayed road, it became clear how much some of these hotels were going to cost, totalling around 300 pounds a night. This I couldnt really afford, so I scoured the rest of the city in search of something a little more in my price range. After about 2 hours of walking down loads of roads that I couldnt pronounce, and found something perfect. A four star hotel called the Copthorne hotel Dubai.

The rooms in here looked fantastic, it was basically a luxury hotel. It only cost 80 dollars a night, which meant I could stay for about a week. I investigated everything I could possibly visit. I went to the Palm Jumeira landscape, it looks fantastic. Then there was the Burj Al Arab, what an iconic piece of engineering. Unfortunately I could not enter, apparently the food and drink costs more than my room does for the week.

I can’t even begin to tell you how great the food was, i was surprised that it was better than places like Sri lanka or Thailand. I plan on going back on Dubai holidays more often, Maldives holidays and Sri Lanka holidays will be the next on the list. These are the holidays that I recommend to you, they are by far the best in the world (in my opinion).
