I was maybe erroneously comparing it to Summer when the sea is like a hot bath - the hotter the better for my liking but I swim in February (then again I swim in the North Sea off Anderby Creek or did when I was younger lol)


Checking my diary I was in Abu Dhabi once for St Patrick’s day and the was too cold to go in (not sure if the currents are stronger there or it had been a cooler winter ?) but I am normally in Dubai or another part of UAE for my birthday in February. This year I have BA an adviser against so all being well will pop out for a long weekend in March myself and will have my daily afternoon dip in the sea ( as long as the winter jelly fish have gone by then - shiver )

My kids seem to think that there is Bath & Body Works at Dubai Airport. Can any Dibbers confirm this please?

I'm looking at booking tickets for the Burj and could do with your help!

We will be a family of 4 (2 adults & 2 children) and are looking at general admission tickets (At The Top Tickets) which ar approximately £31 each but see they do a fast-track ticket option too for approximately £66 but you still have to select a time slot for these tickets too.

Is it worth paying for fast-track? My husband does have a medical condition so isn't great queuing for long periods. Thinking of going mid-afternoon around 3.30pm.

There are so many options the next level up (At The Top Sky) goes to level 148 and you get refreshments at the lounge but this is approximately £100 each.

What has everyone done and what would you recommend? Thanks
