Julian Khoury

Julian Khoury lives in Dubai and writes about luxury resorts and hotels for the love of it. He covers the Gulf, the Maldives and Singapore, and he judges a resort by its service, rooms and food before its lobby. He is exacting about details: the quality of a bed, the speed of a boat transfer, the honesty of a rate. He prefers quiet resorts with good staff over loud ones with big pools. He pays for his own stays and says plainly when a five-star name is not worth the price. He writes for readers who spend a lot and want to know what they are getting.
