Hotel was 3k vs 7k spg points lol.
First day I'm just watching the superbowl.
Maybe I'll throw in a day at FW.
I'm definitely looking into the desert tour.
Just missed a 95aed deal on Groupon for that.
Thanks!

Also, don't know the age range here but any fun clubs in either city?

Those deals come up all the time, just wait for the next one. I was told by a local that Q43 in Dubai is a nice club, though ran out of time to check it out. And the Cavalli club in the non-Palm Fairmont is supposedly amazing.

Just taking a poll to see how crazy my friend is. He booked a night on AirBnb in dubai for the night. He wants to do it this way specifically because he wants to be near the Burj. Is it worth the risk or not?

How do you know what kind of host you are getting? Last thing I want is for him to hear Allah Akbhar in the middle of the night...

No different than anywhere else with AirBnB. Use common sense and read the reviews.

So the issue is the Airbnb? What about the flight there? And hotels there? And public spaces there? this question doesn't make sense.

What can go wrong on the flight?

Using that logic I should be worried that when flying EK a guy might just yell allah Akbar too. Again, the whole question to me makes no sense if the premise is that he will be in Dubai.

Gotcha. But I would feel a lot safer staying with a random host in USA than in UAE.

Not sure what you dont get.....Sleeping in a random persons house in a country unfriendly to Jews as opposed to sleeping in a public hotel or flying on a public airline...
