What Dubai is not<\/h2>\n
Dubai offers premium desert golf with an unbeatable luxury experience \u2014 but it's not cheap or authentically traditional. Courses are artificial (desert irrigation), hotels are extravagant, and green fees are premium. It's a top choice for a once-in-a-lifetime senior pilgrimage \u2014 but too expensive as a standard destination.<\/p>\n
