Folks ,

How does this sound and what are the recommendations for things-to-do ?

Flying Ethihad , couple with a one year old .... Stop over @ AUH , they have a complimentary coach to DXB , so after landing around 9 pm traveling to Dubai ... expecting to check in around 2 am ...

Can some one recommend some budget hotels which have Indian restaurants in vicinity .... ?

Next 3 days + in Dubai ..... what are the activities one must do ... things must ve changed in 5 years .... Planned to do Jumeirah , Malls , Dune Bashing , Gold Suq , creek cruise ..... really what would be the recommendations for 3 days ???

I believe they have started Dubai Metro across the length and from the stations , one can take a cab as a convenient alternative to renting a car .. Appears that GPS s are not in vogue with rental companies .......

4th day taking Etihad coach back to AUH and departing for India ... 96 hrs Airline sponsored Visa ...

The night life is great. Hit the pubs and watch the sunrise at Jumeriah - trust me, it's awesome
