When you have narrowed your search down to a few agencies, search that agency online and see what other people who have used that service have to say, especially in relation to Dubai holidays. If there is a particular issue that people who have used that agency are reporting, you may want to consider whether you are willing to entrust your holiday to that travel agent. If price is your only factor then of course you need to weigh up the chances of the travel agency destroying your holiday and the cost.
