Subject: Dubai 70.3 Ironman Hello,
I am planning to take part in Dubai HIM 70.3 and would like to find out the experience and lesson learnt of fellow triathlete doing similar races in Dubai.
Planning to be in Dubai for 9 days. Would like to know if members can share experience and feedback on the following:-
1. Renting a car vs taking public transport. I am interested in renting a car while in Dubai due to the fact I am going with my wife and have my bike and my luggage with us. Renting a car would make us more mobile also as I would like to explore the cycling path around Dubai and it is easier to bring my bike. However, I read in some forum that driving in Dubai is not advisable. Please share if you rent a car or take public transport if you will be doing your race in Dubai.
2. Hotel stay. The race will be held near Jumeirah Beach. Hotel area in Jumeirah is abit on a high side. Has anybody stays outside of Jumeirah area and make your way to the race venue?
This will be my first time visiting Dubai and I would like to hear as much feedback as possible in doing the race there.
Thank you.
Regards
Malik |
