:confused: Looking at websites for Dubai hotels, I am completely confused about which area is best for a two night stay.

Has anyone recently stayed in Dubai and could give any advise on this subject?

I am not interested in shopping in the malls but would like to see some ethnic shops and go to the beach.
 
Trish,

Jumeirah Beach Hotel - for the beach and a 'resort' feel. Grand Hyatt is not at the beach but has great facilities including extensive outdoor pool areas. If you particularly want sand/beach, go to Jumeirah Beach. Otherwise, I'd recommend the Grand Hyatt anytime.

Do the Gold Souk and, nearby, the Spice Souk. If you want more 'ethnic' than that, don't go to Dubai - try Muscat in Oman for a more authentic feel. All the hotels now do courtesy buses to the Souks (and the modern shopping malls).
 
:) Thank you for the info. We are going on a cruise that starts and ends in Dubai, and the ship will be going to Muscat, Oman, so we will get more of the real thing!!
 
I second the Jumeirah Beach Hotel. The beach there is quite nice. If you want decadence, stay at the Burj al Arab next door. We lived in Dubai for almost 6 years. Email me if you have questions.
