In this video: We finish our journey on Royal Brunei (how was the food?) and land in Dubai at 4:30 AM. Things start amazingly with a massive FREE upgrade on our rental car to a luxury SUV.
However, reality hits hard at Kite Beach when we get charged £18 for three coffees! 💸 We shake it off and head to Dubai Mall to hunt for bargains—including buying the new iPhone 17 Pro, spotting massive deals at the Disney Store, and finding sun cream cheaper than in the UK.
Finally, we drive out to check into the Rixos Bab Al Bahr. We give you a full Room Tour (Suite Upgrade?) and an honest review of the food and entertainment. But why won't they give us a bed for Adelaide?
