Dear BPEP Participants,
Kindly note that participants are responsible for their own airfare and hotel.
Map: Please download the conference map
Air reservations: Dubai Airport (DXB) is a central hub and low-cost airfares are frequently available to/from Dubai. You might try online at: Kayak.com (an umbrella site that searches many airlines), Airfare.com (another umbrella site), FlyDubai.com (regional), AirArabia.com (into Sharjah Airport, a 35 minute taxi to hotel), Jazeera Airways (Kuwait hub), and the online booking at the Web sites of bigger airlines (Qatar Airways, Emirates, United Airlines, etc.). Flexible dates of travel can significantly lower airfare costs.
Hotels: Limited rooms have been blocked for conference participants at the two (related) hotels listed below. Rooms are simple but adequate, and convenient: they are in the same Trade Centre complex as the Dubai School of Government and conference venue, about 15-minutes taxi ride from the Dubai airport.
