The work is well under way...
There goes another little bit of history. And the only non-five star hotel on the beach strip.

Moving back to Dubai after 22 years has been an experience! Back then we didn't have the internet or blogs. Now we do I can jot down my thoughts on daily life, things we come up against, things we enjoy, the multi-national society, the laws, the weather...plus other things in general which catch my attention.
About Me
- Seabee
- We lived in Dubai from 1977 to 1984, visited on a couple of holidays, then moved back again in 2005. We came because we wanted to watch the incredible development as it happened and we moved back to Oz in 2011. I now blog on Life in Oz and the link is on my last post here. I welcome comments & debate on the blog, but insults are unnecessary and inappropriate. I will delete any which are libel, racist, obscene, advertising or which are simply to make a point but are completely off-subject. If you want to do that, create your own blog. Oh, and I've decided to add a new category to the delete list because there are too many of them left on blogs - stupid comments. If you want to use my photos or quote from my posts you may do so - but only if you credit the source and give a link back to my original post.

So this is when the high towers to block out the JBR seaviews go up on this site?
Aargh! When I was a kid, buildings were meant to last more than 10-15 years. What monstrosity have the morons got planned to replace the Oasis Beach?
The Oasis Beach Hotel was always one of my firm favourites: fair prices, lovely staff, an absolutely wonderful pool, grass and beach area, superb restaurants, and a very relaxing vibe and atmosphere.. I've spent numerous Fridays at their pool and beach over the years, I'm really sad to see it go :-(
The Oasis beach hotel was the only hotel we went to when we wanted to spend a nice, fun day on the beach.... I was one of the more affordable options out there.
It really sucks that it's being demolished...
dubai sunshine,
Did you mean that you were one of 'the affordabale options'!!, or was it the hotel.
Tee Hee, as a friend would say.
Caz.
