I have an experience that hotels in Middle East are different than in Europe. 4 stars doesn't necessary mean 4 stars for us. When I was travelling to these countries from work we had a rule to always take 5 stars hotels to get some standard that we would expect in Europe in the 4 stars, maybe even 3 stars in some case. I don't want to however generalize, that's only my experience.

Your photos are great and it looks like you had a lot of fun! I was never too excited about Dubai, but I can understand why people enjoy going there.

Thank you for sharing and have a lovely weekend! 😊
