When you are looking to book your next holiday (or vacation to my American readers ), take a few minutes to check out a good quality International Hotel Guide. Doing so can save you time, as many resources are all collated in one area, as well as money, with links to Cheap Hotels, in this example, Dubai (in the United Arab Emirates) is the link I’ve given. Having been there a few years ago, I decided to check out what information was available, as well as the hotels listed, to see if I could recognise anything.

I have read through a fair few ‘guides’ when researching previous holidays, and I have to say it is nice to find one with helpful information, and not paragraphs of hard sell - obviously the links are there to recommended deals at the hotels, however the information with in the main content were actually accurate, and provide good ideas (or in my case, memories ). Anyway, if you have experience of the city you are interested in, you can leave a comment at the end of the guides, to help other potential visitors, whether it be a general ‘thumbs up’ for a city, a warning about which areas aren’t worth the trek, or perhaps which restaurants offer the tastiest meals. After all, the best holidays can be created by pooling everyone’s past experiences.
