General Australian view on Dubai
Australians general view of Dubai is that it is expensive and luxurious shopping spree stop off. This is true to some extent but if you go and experience the cheaper parts of Dubai it will bring you much closer to the Emirati culture than trips to the malls, and skyscrapers. As said in the Sydney Morning Herald article, 'Dubai on the cheap', "This popular stop-off point between Australia and Europe is a shopper's dream and a high-flyer's heaven, but it's not cheap, not if you want to stay in fancy accommodation and go wild at the malls."
