Welcome to Eat Drink Stay Dubai – Dubai travel hacks – best bar, club, brunch & hotel deals in Dubai
Hi, and thank you for visiting Eat Drink Stay Dubai – a guide to Dubai travel hacks and the best bar, club, brunch & hotel deals in Dubai.
I've started this blog as a free, unbiased and independent guide to eating, drinking, and staying in Dubai, from one resident's viewpoint.
My one aim for this site – if I find a great experience, offer, deal or Dubai travel hack, then I will share it so others can benefit also.
For now, I’m looking to focus on :-
- Dubai travel hacks – How to use & maximise loyalty schemes like SPG (Starwood Preferred Guest), Emirates Skywards, Etihad Guest, American Airlines AAdvantage
- Eat – breakfast, lunch, dinner, brunch
- Drink – bar, happy hour, brunch
- Stay – hotel
- Entertainment (comedy, theatre, cinema)
- Travel – flights (Emirates, Etihad, Qatar Airways)

What this site is not :-
- Aiming to tackle Trip Advisor, Time Out, What's On etc. – all of which are great, professional and respected websites.
- Aiming to give you a better deal than The Entertainer, Groupon, Cobone etc. – all of which are great, professional and respected websites.
What this site will hopefully be :-
- Funny
- Free
- Informative
- Unbiased – whilst it may detail my personal views or preferences, none of these will be influenced by payment or other inducements.
About Me
Firstly, I am no expert – nor do I profess to be.
I'm a middle-aged British expat, just sharing my experiences in this wonderful city. I love travel hacking and I love Dubai, so it makes sense to write about Dubai travel hacks.
Hopefully what I write may be useful, informative or just a good way to waste some time for people – if so, all's good.
Terminology

DISCLOSURE
Reviews – all expenditure is from my own pocket.
Promotions/advertising – unless specifically noted in the post, no payment is accepted for any posts on this site.
Occassionally (paid) advertisements may be posted but these will be obvious.
Sponsorship – (as yet) I am not sponspored by any company or brand, but if you would like to change this please feel free to contact me.
Validity of offers – I accept no responsibility for offers expiring or being ended. Please check with the specific venue, provider or company before committing to anything featured on this site. I will try (as practical) to note where promotions/travel hacks/discounts have ended.
Anonymity – when I visit or review, I do so anonymously and independently as a ‘normal’ customer. That is, I do not advise the venue before/during/after, so as to experience in an unbiased way.
Visit dates – To balance anonymity/accuracy against relevance, I will note the month only of any visits, and the date any article is posted may not be the actual date of visit.
