Halal-friendly hotels in Dubai

Food in Dubai is halal as a rule and masjids are everywhere, but many international hotels have bars and serve alcohol. If an alcohol-free stay matters to you, look at the "No alcohol served" tag and where it comes from — or at the older districts, where dry hotels are common.
