Dubai delights happy honeymooners

 


Raffles hotel tree.

A honeymoon in Mauritius with a stopover in Dubai was changed to Dubai as the destination when Mauritius closed its borders to travellers from Britain.I asked them, "Why did you stay at two different hotels?"

"To cut down on taxi travelling times."

I like a two centre stay, even within one country. Experience different disasters and delights. Whatever the shortfall in the first hotel, you get a different experience in the second one.

In the case of the honeymooners, they had told the Raffles Hotel that they were on honeymoon. The Raffles hotel did not do anything special. However, the place was so glamorous anyway that the couple were not disappointed.

However, the Oberoi made a special effort to make the couple feel like they were on a romantic honeymoon. On the bed were colourful balloons and white fabric folded like two swans meeting to form a heart shape.

The bath had red rose petals.

With prospects of peace in the Middle East in 2020 and ongoing, more people will feel that they will be welcome in Dbai and the UAE. Wiki says:

A quick reminder of where Dubai is:
