16th April - Leave early morning and head back to Manchester
You only have 1 full day in Budapest but if you have more leave to take from work stay for a few extra nights in Budapest if you can it's a lovely city!
Dubai - This uber modern city is one of the places to be this year, there is so much to see and do make sure you plan your trip well. I've chosen the 4* Best Western Premier which is located close to Dubai's airport, this hotel has amazing reviews on TripAdvisor.
Abu Dhabi - Spend a few nights in this lovely city, I've chosen the 4* Jannah Burj Al Sarab which again has great reviews on TripAdvisor
Budapest - Easily one of my favourite cities, so much to see and do, as you've only got one day here, use it wisely, make sure you plan ahead, my personal favourite is Fisherman's Bastion which overlooks the river and parliament, beautiful! I've chosen the Hotel Sunshine for you to stay in, and reachable by bus to the airport in just 30 minutes!

There is plenty to do in Abu Dhabi and you can get a drink for a reasonable price ie many hotels such as Holiday Inn downtown will do a pint during happy 3 hours for less than £4. Just for the opulence and mother of all shopping malls it is well worth a visit to Marina Mall or, where locals and 'normal' folk go Al WAHDAH mall. A £6 cab fair each way or a 50p aircon bus will take to the superb naturally sandy Saadiyat beach overlooking the Persian Gulf. The more famous Corniche is a little grimy for my liking. Sheikh Zayed mosque is an absolute must for the sheer splendor and, again, opulence and I would recommend a visit in time for the call to prayer at dusk standing in the miiddle of the outside huge internal marble square, Tuesday evenings you can hire a bike for an hour and ride around the F1 racetrack. To rub shoulders with the mega rich pay £7 for a cup of coffee on the private beach in front of the 7* Emirates Palace Hotel and petrolheads can gawp at the cars in front of the hotel. I dont know Dubai so well but a visit to the worlds tallest building, in time for sunset, is a must and be sure to book in advance paying around £25 or else it's close to £100 on the day. Emiratis are friendly enough but, like most, dont take too kindly to idiots and racists.

What's the difference between Dubai & Abu Dhabi?
People from Dubai don't watch The Flintstones but people from Abu Dhabi do. :wink:

Hearing Budapest it made me laugh the other day when I heard on the radio somebody actually misheard and booked a flight or holiday to Bucharest instead of Budapest. :smile:

As a hungarian myself I'm so bored of people who are mixing Bucharest with Budapest.

Good deal, Blue Skies, but having to book airlines, hotels, bus travel etc seperately makes it a bit too complicated for many. A package deal - though more expensive - does away with the worry of missing a flight connection or hotel booking.

Damn cheap but what the hell do you do in some Arabian country for that long? Is it just about the hotels and expensive shops?
