I recently visited Dubai and it was an awesome place. In case someone is looking for a nice family trip with a narrow budget, let me know. I have good contacts over there who can arrange stuff in cheaper rates.

I stayed in a good budget hotel at Bur Dubai. Hotel name was Omega hotel and it had all the amenities required.  Also, very near to 24-hour open market.

One day we spent at Yas Viceroy hoel in Abu Dhabi at Yas Island and it was an amazing experience. Hotel is quite expensive but it is worth staying at least a day. The hotel has private F1 racing track and Marina. The view is great. However, it is 35 km away from the Abu Dhabi city.
It was the most luxurious hotel I stayed ever. If you want to get the best room on family member's birthday or anniversary, let the hotel reception know about it once you get in. They will make your event best or maybe they can upgrade the room to the Suit which is an amazing experience.
The hotel itself has 6 restaurants inside it. One of the Indian restaurants is called Angan.

The whole booking was done by Jaya Maini (my friend and host in Dubai). She is the most knowledgeable and welcoming person with lots of ideas to propose to make your tour best.

The highlights of the tour was :

1. Hummer ride on day 1 to King Palace
2. Adventurous ride on world's fastest Roller coaster at Ferrari world, Abu Dhabi.
3. Luxurious stay at YAS hotel with an option to drive F1 racing car.
4. Fountain show at Dubai mall in the evening.
5. Dinner at Desert safari camp.
