Suggestions for Fellow Travelers: What advice would you give to other travellers planning a trip to Dubai?
-
Keep a few hours of leisure every day in your itinerary unless opting for cabs for transportation. Visit khorfukkan and fujaira which gives true vibes of Arabian culture.
-
Get AEDs from India atleast for 50k which is super convenient than doing all the maths there. Not to forget that the Niyo is a bliss for all your transactions. TIP: always choose INR while swiping to card.
-
Get ETISALAT sim which has 24 hours free for visitors and package is better compared to DU.
-
Be sure to install BOTIM along with your loved ones for free video and voice call.
-
Make sure you carry your power bank with phone fully charged since most of the stores dont allow you to charge in case of emergency. Instead, you may also opt for power bank on rent at metro and major hubs
-
Try the foldable cycles which can also be carried in metros… it is totally cool if you love it
Learn the rules locally and be ready to be amazed by people being sincere.
-
Book all attraction tickets in advance and if possible combo packs. It saves AEDs and helps better planning as well.
-
Try direct flight to your city than connecting one’s. You’ll save lot of time and energy in transits.
Cheers to your trip. Have good times.
