Whenever we hear “Dubai,” we instantly think about shining lights, cars, modern skyscrapers, legendary nightlife, desert safaris, luxurious accommodation, and heartwarming cuisines.
How can someone resist to imagine these things?
In fact, Dubai is one of the most popular and richest travel destinations on this earth. According to GMI’s Dubai Tourism Statistics 2018-19, this nation had 15.8 million guests.
Here’s a blueprint that will make your stay memorable in Dubai.
Research
Dubai Tourism is all about offbeat and memorable experiences. Make sure that your research includes everything that you may need on tour – Dubai visa, internal passport, attractions, hotels, flight tickets, rules, and foods. We recommend you to get all the legal documents early. Otherwise, if any interruption occurs at the moment of your arrival, you may not enjoy your journey.
Accommodation
There are many Dubai tour packages available. You may have noticed that some are very expensive and some are not. The reason behind such a huge difference can be accommodation. Some accommodations are located nearby great places and have excellent services, while some are a bit away from the central part of Dubai. Thus, accommodation may cost you from affordable $75 to luxurious $1500 per night.
Transportation
To reach from one location to another, what you need is transportation. We all know that auto rickshaws are all over the place in the capital of India, Delhi. Similarly, you can see taxis all over Dubai. They are pretty cheap, comfortable, and a quick means of transportation here. Never ever try to walk in June or July because you will be soaked in sweat as soon as you leave your room.
Apart from taxis, you may try out the fully automated metro system of Dubai. Currently, only 2 lines exist there which can take you from one end of the city to other.
Top Attractions You Shouldn’t Miss
Some of the most visited places of Dubai include Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, Dubai Museum, Bastakia, Sheikh Saeed Al-Maktoum House, Dubai Creek & Al Seef District, Jumeirah Mosque, Burj al-Arab, and Aquaventure park. All of the mentioned places don’t only reflect Dubai’s top attractions but also highlights the cultural heritage of the nation. It’s surprising to note that Dubai Tourism vision 2020 aims to get 20 million guests by 2020 because of its highly accredited attractions.
What to Eat or Drink
There are many hotels where you can eat and drink almost every type of cuisine. All you need is to pay attention to your wallet. Some hotels in Dubai may drain your wallet while some are pretty friendly on your wallet. Keep in mind that Dubai is a Muslim country. It’s illegal to drink in public here. However, you will see plenty of bars and nightclubs where it’s legal to drink.
Where to Shop
Deira Souks is one of the oldest regions in Dubai. You can buy clothing, souvenirs, electronics, food, household items, and many accessories here. Within the Deira Souks, there are 2 more places: Naif Souk and Gold Souk. Both places are a real goldmine. Don’t miss them.
In Deira Souks, you won’t need to pay the fixed amount to purchase a particular commodity. What we love the most about Deira Souks is bargaining. You’re allowed to bargain and reduce the price of the commodity.
