Raffles

While the Pharaohs may well have been obscenely decadent, Dubaites are just plain rude with it. A taste of Cairo in Dubai. Noisy, encircled by traffic and transforming its city's landscape. It may not outshine its Singapore sister but its boldness to replicate world wonder status works. Rooms are commodious, each with scene stealing balconies. While it may cost less to fly to Egypt than stay in an executive suite, the experience won’t be as indulgent. Purse strings aren’t loosened, rather severed.
