They know some tourists carry cash so they will try by all means to lure you into signing business deals, please don't they will come to you in very expensive cars and offer you gifts but there isn't any investment with these people, no travel packages RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. THEY will ask if its your first time in Dubai if yes they will reap you your hard earned money. I was fortunate enough to investigate about them and discovered they are pathetic thieves

Felt like a mere sales pitch
April 18, 2024

Bad experience, the description of the invitation did not match with what the presentation was like. They promised us an introduction to the hotel, like an event, to get to know the hotel, review their hospitality and consider booking a stay on our next visit. In reality it was a mere sales pitch, just to sell a product, which we were not at all interested in. We did not get 'enjoy' the hotel's facilities.
