The Elite Byblos Hotel is a five-star establishment in Dubai’s upscale Al Barsha neighbourhood with a rooftop pool and 337 rooms which, says its website, ‘exude a sense of opulence and grandeur’.
Situated opposite the Mall Of The Emirates – a visitor attraction that contains the desert city’s only indoor ski slope – it offers sweeping views of Palm Jumeirah, that palm tree-shaped artificial island of skyscraper resorts and white sand beaches built in the Arabian Gulf during the early days of the tourist boom 20 years ago.
