Review: Grand Millennium, Dubai
The newly-opened Grand Millennium Dubai is the only five-star business hotel in the Tecom zone, albeit in Al Barsha on the opposite side of the highway to Dubai Internet City. It is a spacious and stylish modern hotel with excellent business facilities: from a 1,200 sqft top-floor ballroom for conferences to board meeting rooms and a large club floor lounge.

Review: Ritz Carlton, Doha
From the complementary refreshments at check-in to the friendly staff ensuring you know the best tourist places and restaurants to attend, the Ritz Carlton in Doha tries to give guests everything they would expect from a five star hotel. There were though, a few hiccups within that experience.

Rise above it all – travel in a helicopter
Helicopter travel is becoming an increasingly favoured option for executives in the UAE as traffic and airport delays worsen and real estate developments keep spreading farther into the desert and off shore in the Gulf. The result is that helicopters are no longer viewed as an extravagant luxury but rather one of the few feasible travel options for a busy executive whose time, literally, is money.

Review: Silverjet Dubai to London business class flights
Silverjet is the relative newcomer on the busy London to Dubai route and targeting an interesting niche sector.

And, the service is good.

Review: Courtyard Marriott, Kuwait
Being stopped at the driveway entrance and having your car subject to a security check doesn’t paint the best of first impressions when arriving at a hotel. Step out of the car at the main entrance and you are subject to your second check, with airport style metal detectors and luggage scanners.

Review: Etihad Airways, Pearl Zone
Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Airways celebrated its fourth birthday last month, so AME Info felt it was the perfect time to see how its highly regarded Pearl Zone, or business class, product was shaping up. We weren’t disappointed as one of the Gulf’s youngest airlines provided one of its best business class offerings.
